When Netflixannounced it was moving forward on a new Pee-wee Herman movie last month, millions of people whose childhoods were informed/warped by Pee-wee's Playhouse collectively squealed. As another round of movies leaves Netflix in April, you'll have one more chance to take in Pee-wee's Big Adventure. Warm up the breakfast machine.
Other exiting titles of note: There's never a bad time to watch Clue, and the Willem Dafoe/John Malkovich film Shadow of the Vampire is a modern classic. It's also your last chance to catch a good chunk of the films in the Friday the 13th and Karate Kid franchises. If you've never had the emotional fortitude to watch Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan, now's the time.
