I don't think its underrated. It got very good reviews when it came out.
If anything, it's not well known among those younger than 30.

I love how these looser (look it up, newby) twats show up and declare that just because THEY'VE been ignorant that somehow the object of their piqued interest is "underrated."
Bitch, no one has underrated this movie. Just because you waddled into it lately doesn't mean that others haven't given due praise over the last 30+ years.
Idiot. Making it about your superior knowledge rather than simple praise of a funny, weird movie with odd depth and transgressive insights.

Sounds silly, I know, but I still find myself yelling at Pee Wee to "look to your right, Pee Wee!!" as his bike is on the truck right next to him as they are traveling down the road. It makes me a little crazy seeing that scene.

When Pee Wee goes to the house of his obese friend, Francis, he knocks on the door and when the butler tells him Francis is taking a bath, Pee Wee asks...
"So where are they hosin' him down?".

One of my all time favourite movies.
I loved the score by Danny Elfman too, until I realized he just copies Nino Rota (Fellini film scores).

An HBO staple back in the day along with Silverado, Just one of the Guys, The Big Picture with Kevin Bacon, and some movie about swimming with Morgan Farichild (I forgot the name). Back when it was just one HBO.

I wrote my college film class final paper on how Pee-Wee's Big Adventure is, at its heart, a story about growing up and becoming ready to share your life with someone.
Pee-Wee loses his bike (his innocence) and chases after it. He leaves his very complicated comfort zone (his house) and goes out on a trek to reclaim it. On his way, he helps others including Mickey and Simone (who is an older woman who acts as a guide) and faces his fears (snakes, the scary biker guys, ghosts.) In the end, all of these experiences make him ready to be in a relationship with Dottie. It's no mistake that in the last major scene, Pee-Wee (without his bike) walks past all of the people he met along the way to his final destination... Dottie and his bike. He doesn't NEED the bike any longer, but it is still accessible to him. I also think it is important Dottie has her own bike as well. She is a good match and an equal, not a passive passenger.
I was very pretentious back in the day. I was SHOCKED I got a C.

Lovely movie, funny and original, I've always loved it and thought it was one of those movies that's infinitely better than it should have been. I think it was the excellent score that put it over the top, this was Danny Elfman's first film score and instantly put him in the ranks of the top Hollywood film score composers, where he's stayed for all these years.
And of course, every time a Datalounger goes into a hissy fit I think of this moment...

One of the many movies that was a surprise hit, but then yielded a perfectly awful (and unsuccessful) sequel. Other examples: "Babe," "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" (both a TV series AND a sequel.)

I think you might be talking about The Seduction. It's not about swimming but Morgan Fairchild spends a lot of time in her pool and hot tub. It was bascially a Skinemax movie before that was a thing. Theme song by DL fave Dionne Warwick.

For some reason I read this as "swimming with Morgan Freeman," which really made no sense at all.

exactly R66, because everyone knows Morgan Freeman can't swim.
