Pee Wee's Big Adventure (1985) "I Can't Remember"

Pee Wee falls off a bull and doesn't remember anything. Old cowboys show him what's up.

I remember the symbolism of this because the theme of the movie was that whether it was a ghost, an escaped convict, a biker gang, or a group of rodeo cowboys, Pee Wee always unwittingly said the exact right things and made friends with everybody!

It's basically Forrest Gump but funnier.
