Oh yeah! I forgot that he did Sleepy Hollow! I love that one too! last time I saw Edward Scissor Hands, I was too young to remember it.I need to see it again

[bloodygurl02]

how was big fish btw ????

[cheebacheeba]

Yeah wickedlady, you NEED to see it. One of the few films that fit the bill for "beautiful"....IMO

[Wicked Lady]

Big Fish was great, but it was WAY different than most of his movies, it wasn't very dark at all, it's really imaginative though

[avenger00soul]

Pee Wee's Big Adventure.

[bloodygurl02]

hes also doing a remake of willy wonka and i can't wait to c waht he does w/ that movie

Wickedlady, if you havent seen the batmans and sleepy hollow you are missing out on a lot of creepy dark fun. Personally i find Tim Burton as a genius among film makers and have seen everyone of his films. Good luck with the movie watching hope you injoy.:D

It's my favorite from him.

Didn't see anyone mention Mars Attacks. That's a good one-it's got Jack Black's ass-crack.

[MythMan84]

HOLY CRAP, it would never of crossed my mind that tim made Pee Wee's big adventure, sure pee wee is kinda creepy but thats jsut weird.

I know there are some i left but im kinda out of it today. Sleepy hollow is alright, batman/edward sissorhands/ pee wee/ vincent/ bettlejuice/ nightmare/ and batman returns are his highlight films i think. Just my opinion tho.

[MythMan84]

Now avenger, i do have to agree with you that mars attacks was a good burton film but i think he has made a lot greater films.

Now who here has seen nightmare before christmas, now that i find is one of his better films.

I didn't say it was his best, just saying that no one mentioned it. My faves are Pee Wee and Beetlejuice.

I think alot of people forget that Henry Selick directed both A Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peech. I wish he would get a bit more credit.

[Psychoholic]

My favorite Tim Burton film is 'Ed Wood', it seems to be his most underappreciated and unwatched film.

Pretty much everything he's done is classic though, looking forward to seeing Big Fish.

[Arioch]

your right avenger he doesnt, tim burton didnt direct James or Nightmare, and no one really pays attention to that part.

[Arioch]

i think his parts were rather small on tron and fox in the hound.

[cheebacheeba]

the fox....IN the hound?????
you're diiiirty.

[bloodrayne]

Arioch...My daughter is falling in love with Danny Elfman, too...I wonder if she could have been influenced by some "music nazi"...just a thought;)

HOLY CLAM HAT!!! I guess I've seen WAY more Tim Burton movies than I realized! let me see...i've seen


The Fox and the Hound
Pee-Wee's Big Adventure
Vincent
The Black Cauldron
Beetlejuice
The Nightmare Before Christmas
James and the Giant Peach
Mars Attacks!
Sleepy Hollow
Planet of the Apes
Big Fish
Batman Forever

Thanx Arioch!

[Sam The Egg]

yeah, Danny Elfman is great.
How big a part does Billy Crudup have in Big Fish? He's the main reason I'm wanting to see this movie.

[dashripper]

The bigger the budget he has the crappier the film. (Batman the exception. But I'm guessing he didn't have as much creative freedom as he has had on his later films.)
Mars Attacks was not a very good movie..
Sleepy Hollow was very disappointing. The cartoon was ten times better. And I saw a made for T.V. Sleepy Hollow and it was actually much better than Tim Burton's.
Planet of the Apes-well need I say more?
Big Fish was a good looking movie but that's about it. These stories are told to get to the neat sets and special effects.

[bloodrayne]

Nightmare Before Christmas is my all time favorite Tim Burton movie...And Danny Elfman...What can I say?...I still know those songs

[mudsliptones]

tim burton is so so cool, awesome imagination, his scene settings rule, the dark atmospheres, the look of gotham city, the movies themselves, awesome

[MythMan84]

Now there is what i've been waiting for some one to mention. The way Tim burton can take any scenario and just make the efects and backround just amazing and dark.

[ckyguy]

Tim burton= The planet of the apes remake..... :(
