Best, "Ed Wood".
Worst, "POTA".
Tim Burton is a great director because he's divinely original and unique. He's got a macabre style when it comes to his wiriting/directing/producing, and it's spanwed some of the most memorable movie scenes and characters of all time.
"Big Fish" was his breakout from his dark little corner, but I think he'll get back into the twisted sort of things when he revamps "Charlie".
Of his "well-known" works, I'm partial to (in order of preference):
1) Ed Wood
2) Mars Attacks
3) Batman
4) Pee-Wee's Big Adventure
5) Beetlejuice
6) Planet of the Apes & Sleepy Hollow (tie)
I did not like Edward Scissorhands AT ALL, and I thought Batman Returns was only good in the sense that it was better than its sequels, which isn't saying much.
I never saw Frankenweenie or Big Fish, but I probably should.
Its hard to say what his best work is Batman, Edward Scissorhands and Big Fish are all great but 3 completly different genres.
I'd have to say worst i've seen is Planet of the Apes and I also didn't like Mars Attacks.
Most antisipated film must be Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, can't think of anyone else i'd rather have making it, its got a lot to live up too as the original movie was excellent.
tim is an exstreamist
i think all his movies reach perfection , with the exception off all the batman sequeals . the first batman with micheal keaton rocked but then what happened ?
then planet off the apps , i give 5 out of ten
in some ways it was realy good , but others it realy sucked
mars attack , edward sizzor hands , sleepy hollow , a nightmare before christmas , beetlejuice and big fish are , well i think "flawless"
i think all are great and so unque and original .
