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.

Sleepy Hollow

Edward Scissorhands - Favourite
Sleepy Hollow and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

nightmare before christmas

You guys realize that Burton only wrote NMBC, correct? He didn't direct it, he co-produced it with like 5 other people, and wasn't responsible for any of the stop motion that actually made it what it is today?

I don't nominate it because he's had full creative control over many of his other films.

yeah...but did you see his original pictures for what the characters were supposed to look like...?

Well, it's his work, but I just don't want to suggest a movie as a Director's best film when all he did was write it. Seems kind of odd.

true true true.

thats why im gonna say, batman and batman returns.

Of those I've seen, possibly Batman Returns.

Of course, but to me it is basically a Tim Burton film even if he didn't direct it.

he still wrote the storyline and the characters...

True True, definitely still Burton's work, and what great work it is,lol.

Big Fish

Batman Begins Blows away the Burton and Schumacher Batman movies easily,as far as Burtons best movie? I also would have to say Nightmare Before Christmas followed closely by Edward Scissorhands.

1) a nigthmare before christmas
2) Edward Scissorhands
3) big fish
4) batman returns (michael keaton)
5) sleepy hollow

CLASSIC!

No you are not.Thats another good Flick of Burtons as well.

My favourite has to be..........
Big Fish then Nightmare before christmas

I just saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory recently, I loved it. But I'm going to have to say Edward Scissorhands.

My absolute favourite was The Nightmare before Christmas, but I think The Corpse Bride will be his next big one :3

I never heard of that film,when is it coming out?

Corpse Bride release in the US is 23rd September

I think all his movies (apart from planet of the apes) are great even his short animated ones especially Vincent ..in_love..

I loved Vincent too

It has to be: Nightmare Before Christmas
and then
Edward Scissorhands
Big Fish
Sleepy Hollow
...has anyone heard about "The Corpse Bride" yet?...I'm looking forward to that movie. it's gonna be kinda like nightmare before christmas.

Yes, we have mentioned Corpse Bride in here...

Batman and Pee Wee's Big Adventure.

Edward Scissorhands, Batman Returns, Sleepy Hollow, Beetlejuice and Nightmare Before Christmas are my faves. I'm really looking forward to seeing Corpse Bride

NightMare Before Christmas What a classic

No one really mentioned Mars Attacks am I the only one who thinks that was a good movie? (I'm not saying it's his best I just don't see why it hasn't got much recognition).

Ed Wood, no doubt.

And Nevermind, the quote is, "This CGI bullshit is the death knell of cinema. Movies are far too ****ing expensive at the moment and it's killing the ****ing art form. The way it's going, in ten year's time it will officially be killed".

Batman or the night before christmas,tim burton is by far my favourite director.

batman returns

I'm gonna go with a classic: Edward Scissor Hands

Big fish 'n Batman.

Nighmare before Christmas... Watch it every christmas eve without fail.

Nighmare before Christmas, well i really likre all his movies!

Edward Scissorhands and Nightmare Before Christmas

My sister LOVES Tim Burton films. She has seen The Nightmare Before Christmas so many times, she watches it every Monday night! She loved Edward Scissorhands and the "old school" Vincent-his directorial debut! She also fell in love with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory because it is awesome and is better than the original. And of course, Corpse Bride, she has a thing for the stop motion animation.

I appologise, this does not represent my opinions, this is my sisters post, she wanted me to put it and she doesn't have an account, so I decided I would.

I agree.Nightmare before christmas is his best film.

Tim Burton's Batman films sucked! *runs out of thread*

Well said Snake Eyes.

He should be shot for the way he raped to death Batmans character and ruined the image of the caped crusader. Thank god Nolan came along and did his character justice and redeemed that travesty of Burtons.

"runs out and follows you."

Loved Big Fish!

Batman or Edward Scissorhands

It looks like I'm in agreement with Misc Rose. Edward Scissorhands and Ed Wood are my two favorite Burton films. There's more that just the "Ed" connection between the two movies; Ed Wood's relationship with Bela Lugosi was similar to the one between Tim Burton himself and Vincent Price. Maybe that's why these two movies seem to me to be his most deeply personal works.

My favorite Burton films are 'Batman' and 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'. I love those movies.
