The Uber Tim Burton Film Thread

[hadespussercats]

"Sleepy Hollow".

Not one of his best. Kinda sucked, actually, IMHO.

Yeah, had its moments and visually cool but nothing special apart from that.

I'm trying to think what my favorites are.

I think Edward Scissorhands was groundbreaking. His pastel Jordan almonds suburbs, that was such a great image. And the story was so unusual. But I don't usually re-watch it if it's on.

Beetlejuice I could watch a gajillion times and never get tired of it (I know, because I have) It's got it all-- quirky paranormal monsters, goofy humor, Winona Ryder in her teens...

I think his Sweeney Todd was actually really good. Better than I thought it would be. And it's such a great musical. Good cast, good fit all around.

I loved Big Fish. It made me happy and sad. I don't care what everyone says.

Oh, and you can't have a list like this without Nightmare Before Christmas.

But if I had to make this a top five... I think I'd ditch either the first or the last on this list and trade in Mars Attacks. Tom Jones! Eagles! Gah gah gah gahhhhh!

Mars Attacks was very funny and I cried at the end.

Tim Burton hasn't made anything good in such a long time I've forgotten what good Tim Burton even looks like.

Well, except the recent Frankenweenie which was much more awesome than its average scores.

I just realised this is an old thread. I recently saw the Alice film, it was on TV on Christmas day. It was god-awful. The special effects were dire, I don't know where people are getting off saying they were great. They were far too computery looking and dull and not like Burton at all.

There was a vampire film he released since this thread started too. I forget the name. It seemed a love it or hate it type film.

The Abe Lincoln vampire slayer movie. I'm intrigues, because it sounds so awful.

I don't think he made that. No some Johnny Depp thing.

Also, no mention of Ed Wood in this thread!


For shame

Ah, shit!

That's on my top five. I'll boot out Edward Scissorhands for sure.

Ed Wood
Mars Attacks
Beetlejuice
Big Fish
Sweeney Todd.

Oh, and the Abe lincoln one is def. him.

Could've sworn it was him.

Directed by Timur Bekmambetov, and co-produced by Timur and Tim Burton. It was lots of fun. I liked it. But then again I love everything Timur does.

Ah! I knew he was involved. Saw an interview with him talking about how blah di blah the film was.

Ouch, he made that pile of crap movie? I guess every genius has an off day.

Mars Attacks is a parody. It was based on a series of bubble gum cards.
