Best Tim Burton film?

Hey Everyone!
What do you think is Burton's finest work?
My favourite of his films would be Edward Scissorhands or Ed Wood.
I thought the Ed Wood casting was brilliant, and the script was excellent,some of the best lines I've heard in film. Landau deserved the oscar.
I really enjoyed Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the sets were incredible, spesh the Chocolate Room and the Bucket house.
Lookin forward to Corpse Bride, if its anything like Nightmare then it will be awesome.

If you've read 'The Melancholy death of Oyster and other stories' what do you think? I loved it. 'Burton on Burton' is also very inciteful, a must for Burton fans,only goes up to Sleepy Hollow though.

Love Misc Rose xxxx

Nighmare before Christmas is really special.

Trivia: Its the Very first film in History to have been entirely shot in stop-motion.

I think Tim Burton's best film is Batman, because it's the only one I've seen.

"Ed Wood".

Beetlejuice and the original Batman.

Yeah the original Batman was great. I don't think any Batman film that has been released since has quite matched it. The Joker was fantastic, the look and the performance was great.
I like how Burton approaches a film, how he must feel drawn to it to be able to create it. Big Fish aswell was a good film, the script was brilliant. The atmospheres he creates always blows me away.

My favorite is probably Big Fish.

Ahhh, Beetlejuice! That is a perfect movie! Burton has done NOTHING better.

"Day-o, day-ay-ay-o...Daylight come and he wanna go home!"

Pee-Wee's Big Adventure
Beetle Juice

now for worst:

Charlie & The Chocolate Factory
Planet of the Apes <-- i think we can all agree that movie sucks.

I think Sleepy Hollow is underrated.

i like all of burtins films

I would say edward sissorhands or ed wood, but sleepy hollow or bettlejuice are very close.

Ed Wood, Edward Scissorhands, Nightmare Before Christmas, Batman Returns and Beetlejuice. I also loved Sleepy Hollow but it's not one of his greatest films.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is one of my favourites too but like SH it's not up there with his best, I also enjoyed Mars Attacks and will probably fall in love with Corpse Bride.

Burton=one of my favorite directors.

The way he does things are so unique.
I just can't get enough of it.

It would probably be out of Sleepy Hollow, Nightmare before Christmas or Edward Scissorhands for me. The Corpse Bride is also looking very promising.

has got to be Batman.

Yeah Sleepy Hollow is a brilliant one, amazing look and atmosphere. Ichabard Crane was quite a character too. My favourite scene from this film would probably be when Ichabard first meets the towns people and they are discussing the headless horseman, some fantastic lines in this scene. Burton's sketches for this film were great.

My favourite of his artwork would be Edward Scissorhands, especially 'normal' Edward to surbanised Edward. ES would also be my favourite score, particularly when Kim is dancing in the ice, beautiful theme.

Pee-Wee's Big Adventure
Beetle Juice
Nightmare Before Christmas

I love Sleepy Hollow,I actually have it on VHS....

A Nightmare Before Christmas, I've seen it so many times.
