Tim Burton (US, 1985). Recommended for ages 7 & up. Tim Burton's first feature film follows the squeaky-mad Pee-wee Herman as he rides roughshod over eighties conformity in search of his stolen bike. "Revels in the weird, the unpredictable, the infantile, and the absurd" (Empire). (90 mins)
This Is Spinal Tap
Rob Reiner (US, 1984). Turn it up to eleven as tightly spandexed past-it rockers Spinal Tap reunite for a doomed US tour. One of the greatest comedies of all time, a "rare comedy that is as completely entertaining now as it was back then" (LA Times). (82 mins)
