tim burton films

i am a big fan of his and was wondering if any one else was a big fan like myself. i saw big fish a couple weeks ago and loved it. i am telling am one who is a big fan to see this movie. it worth paying how much it coasts and enjoying a movie beyond our time. 🙂

I loved Mars Attacks, Batman and Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, but I thought Batman Returns was a little too sickly (?)...I don't know what word I am trying to use...Edward Scissorhands was a classic...

i like all of his films

Same here. If I have to pick a favorite, though, it's Ed Wood. It had more great drama and acting, but not as much "Hey, something odd is happening because this is a Tim Burton film!".

nightmare before christmas and sleepy hollow are classics

I love Ed Wood, Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, the Batman's, and Vincent- which is just genius!! Haven't seen Big Fish yet, but cannot wait!

big fish, batman, batman returns,mars attacks,nightmare before christmas, and i can't wait till willy wonka.

Planet of the Apes - I hate with a passion. He ruined a great classic film.

Sleepy Hollow - good flick

Mars Attacks! - good flick

The Nightmare Before Christmas - I don't care too much for this one

Ed Wood - quite possibly his best film

Batman Returns - Not to fond of it

Edward Scissorhands - good flick

Batman - great flick

Beetlejuice - decent movie.....terribly dated....I however loved it at the time

Pee-wee's Big Adventure - Boo.........moronic

all good films

I loved TNBC, it's my favorite movie.

i was just posting on another Burton discussion a week ago. I had to write a paper on his films and i was freaking out cause hes so great i didnt know where to start but im good now i just finsihed it and its a bit rushed (due tomarrow) but its pretty good. Tim is my favorite director of ALL time! Edward Scissorhands and Ed Wood tie for my favorite. I never saw mars attacks (im ashamed 😮), i remember beetle juice tramatized me as a child so i dont remember it to well, but so did ed scossorhands and yet ive always loved it. I love nightmare, but i hate how its comercialized with my age group these days. Planet of the apes STUNK OUT LOUD! Ruin of a classic film and ruin of a great director. Loved Sleepy Hollow. Absolutley LOVED big Fish. totally exciteted about Charley and the Chocolate Factory. Johnny Depp will be the perfect Willy Wonka, altho i know people wont understand (y are they redoing a classic) well first of all, ITS A BOOK! and second lookin back it wasnt all that great, i mean there was so few they could do back then. I never knew there were so many tim fanatics out there that apprechiate him and his movies as much as me. You guys Rock!

yeah i know

the films ive seen ive liked, especially edward scissor hands, only the end of planet of the apes had burtons trademark. Big fish looks good.

Tim Burton in my mind is just pure genius. There aren't a lot of people that i would call a 'genius', but he deserves it.
All of his films are fantastic, and his visions are wonderful.
I've had to describe him, and tell people what i think about him, many times...but it's just impossible for me. There aren't really any words in the dictionary to describe him.
Maybe i'm just being soppy, but i really do relate with his stories.

Oh, and Big Fish is awesome. Very emotional, but brilliant. Everbody needs to go and see it!

I agree, he is GENIUS, Im very much looking 4ward to charlie and the choc factroy

i know it will be fantastic

His chocolate factory is going to be brilliant. I really can't wait for it. We're finally going to see the weird and wacky world that Roald Dahl was intending. Not some chippy musical with Gene Wilder and a bunch of kids.

I myself am not big on musicials at all, But there is no need to slam Gene Wilder, I thought he was great as Willy Wonka. But Im very much looking 4ward to seeing how Depp will play Willy Wonka.

its gonna be funny watching jonny depp sing

My favourite Tim Burton film has to be Beetlejuice, although it is quite dated by todays standards, Burtons macabre direction and Keaton's (Micheal) portrayal as the lewd, crude, bio-exorcist Beetlejuice makes this film a hoot. I remember watching this film religiously as a child (much to my mums dismay) and still watch it now which certainly brings back the memories.
