With Sweeny Coming... (Best of Burton)

[Z_oasis]

With sweeney todd comin soon, lets see how we feel about all of burtons films. Poll time, you know what to do.

[Cronos]

Ed Wood with Batman Returns right behind it.

[Briare Rabbit]

Ranked:
1. Sleepy Hollow
2. Ed Wood
3. Mars Attacks!
4. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
5. Planet of the Apes
7. Corpse Bride

The first two are excellent. Sleepy Hollow is one of my favorites. Mars Attacks is alright, the other three are trash. Been too long since I've seen Beetlejuice or Scissorhands and I've never made it through Burton's Batman. I have the Big Fish dvd but haven't gotten around to watching it.

That said, I look forward to Sweeney Todd.

yea, with deep thought, i have to go with SLeepy Hollow. Its HIS style, its HIS type of story. Its totally Burton-esque. So, im all for sleepy hollow

[ilovemovies]

Beetlejuice is easily his best. With Batman being the runner-up. Both are great.

Followed by Big Fish which is a good movie with moments of greatness.

Then comes Charlie and the Chocolate Factory which is a complete delight. I actually ended up liking that movie a lot more than I thought I would.

Then comes Sleepy Hollow which is visually stunning though lacking a little in the story department. Didn't care much for the whole whodunit aspect. Wish it merely just Icabob Crane versus the headless horseman. Still, a pretty good movie overall.

Then comes Batman Returns which was pretty good.

Planet of the Apes is next. I thought it was exciting and entertaining.

That's the good.

Now the bad:

Corpse Bride sucked. Great stop motion animation. The movie looks great. I laughed a few times here and there but otherwise it sucked.

However, his worst movie without a freaking doubt is Mars Attacks! Horrible movie. Really awful. It has a great cast yet they are all wasted and ineffective. Not even Jack Nicholson managed to shine. Boring and unfunny. And very repetative too.


It's been too long since I've seen Ed Wood so I'm not going to include it. I don't remember liking it though.

And I've never seen Edward Scissorhands.

Very much look forward to Sweeney Todd. Looks very wierd and very cool.

Where the hell's Nightmare Before Christmas?

[Briare Rabbit]

He didn't direct it, and Henry Selick's fingerprints are all over it. So don't even argue it.

see: James and the Giant Peach

[QUENTIN]

Ed Wood (9/10) is his only masterpiece, but it is a masterpiece.

I also really like to varying degree Big Fish, Edward Scissorhands, and Sleepy Hollow. Batman Returns is pretty good too.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Planet of The Apes, Mars Attacks, and Beetlejuice were just okay.

Not a big fan of Batman or Pee Wee and didn't like his collaboration Nightmare Before Christmas.

Not really that excited about Sweeney Todd, I don't like modern musical adaptations, but I'll probably end up seeing it in theaters out of curiosity.

Ed Wood.



That and Sleepy Hollow are probably the only 2 good things he's done.
