Although he did not direct it, I still consider Nightmare Before Christmas to be Burton’s film. He didn’t have time to direct, as he was busy with Batman Returns, but he still produced it and wrote the poem on which it is based. I know a lot of people do believe it’s a Burton directed film because his influence is definately still there, and Tom Selick (Coraline, James and the Giant Peach, 9), who did direct it, is very similar to Burton in his style.

Agreed though, Edward is his best movie and Big Fish comes in at a very close second. I’m excited to know he’s remaking Frankenweenie into a feature length film; I hope it’ll take him back to his roots and and bring back the brilliance that he hasn’t been showing lately.

@ Chelsea, I think you are being a little hard on him. Look at David Fincher and Brad Pitt, they’ve done a good many movies together, sometimes actors and directors just have that chemistry, Depp has become a bit of a typecast and Burton’s movies have declined in quality but his visual style and quirkiness remain the same, it keeps me coming back every-time, that’s for sure.

Personally I think every Burton movie since Mars Attacks, with the exception of Big Fish, has been terrible.

i utterly despise what tim burton (and johnny depp) have become. don’t get me wrong, they both have good movies, but it has become a parody over the years. let’s make johnny depp play a pale eccentric, outsider (even gothic) and throw in some black and white stripes or checkerboard pattern…. screw the story or character development, it will sell because it’s burton and depp! they can do no wrong! let’s throw in helena bonham carter, too… she’s part of the package deal now. no need to branch out or strive for any sort of creativity. i mean, it’s only movies. the masses don’t care about that.

it’s annoying…

Burton has to be one of my favorite directors since I was a kid. I remember instantly loving Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands when I saw them and I had to of rented Beetlejuice 30 times from blockbuster when I was 5. I loved it when they had him guest star on Tiny Toons and all the characters would mess with him and scare the shit out of him. I can’t say that I disliked any of his movies(even Charlie and the Chocolate Factory). I will admit that his movies have gone down since Planet of the Apes(Big Fish was better), but I’m keeping my fingers crossed for Alice in Wonderland.

@ Lilly

That’s because Burton didn’t direct Nightmare Before Christmas. He was attached, but he didn’t direct.

Ed Wood, is the best film of Tim Burton.

And for me one of the Top50 movies of ALL-TIME.

Check it out, you won’t be disappointed.
