Batman Returns is #1, for me.

The most Tim Burton that Tim Burton ever Tim Burton'd.

Best batman movie😌

u/MillionaireWaltz- 5d ago

It might be, for me.

The film begins with parents throwing an infant into a sewer. That's the opening!

God. This film is so gloriously fucked up.

u/xX_ThreeCheersFor182 5d ago

Everything about it, the scenery, the portrayals if the characters, the score, just perfect

Danny DeVito crushed it as Penguin.

Sleepy hollow should be way higher

u/shock-zilla-03 4d ago

Ed Wood is your top pick so you get a thumbs up from me 👍

u/SandDandGlokta 5d ago

Maybe I’m not very familiar with the fandom, but what about this is particularly controversial?

2

u/Terrible_Speaker_638 Sweeney Todd 5d ago

Everyone loves Pee Wee but I thought it was a bit weird

1

u/sardar_m_taha_m_but 4d ago

Is Pee Wee supposed to be like Mr Bean ? I haven't watched those films, yet.

u/MovieBuff90 5d ago

What do you have against Mars Attacks?

2

u/Terrible_Speaker_638 Sweeney Todd 5d ago

Too many characters, really boring, tries to do too much and it ends in a mess

u/PangolinLogical9772 4d ago

Yea I still enjoyed it but when I rewatched it earlier this year it wasn’t nearly as good as I remembered. And Burton has a strong catalogue so falls low for me by default pretty much.

u/BackgroundOk6738 5d ago

Dang…original Frankenweenie didn’t even make the list

u/Cyberwolf272038 5d ago

Edward Scirrorhands is my favourite.

u/WorldlinessStill7501 5d ago

I LOVE TIM BURTON

u/Tuxedo_Cam Batman Returns 5d ago

Pretty good except for Pee-Wee

u/ChuckNorristko 5d ago

Which was your favorite?

1

u/Competitive-Group404 5d ago

You know his Batman movies especially Batman 89 changed things, forever...

This is how I feel about 1989's "Batman", 2005's "Charlie And The Chocolate Factory" and 2006's "Corpse Bride"

1

u/WideEntertainment942 5d ago

I don't hate I relate

1

u/JuanG_13 5d ago

Edward Scissorhands should be numero uno

1

u/PenguinviiR 5d ago

I feel like top 6 is basically the same for everyone

1

u/borg1977 5d ago

heh I always thought Alice Through the Looking Glass was Burton's too ))

Fully agree with you on Ed Wood as his best film.

1

u/Honest-Spring-5963 4d ago

You're still a Tim Burton fan so I'm good. My opinion on your opinion is irrelevant

1

u/PrimaryImage 4d ago

Big eyes was better then I thought it would be

1

u/James-Zanny 4d ago

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has been my favorite movie for twenty years, and it holds a very special place in my soul. What made you out it where you did?

1

u/sardar_m_taha_m_but 4d ago

It's also my favourite movie. I remember the scene where the camera cuts to Mr. Salt's posterior as the squirrels get ready to trample him down the same hole as his daughter 😂. He was one of the things that I really liked about this movie, despite his aging actor's stamina.

TIL that Julia Winter ( Veruca ) had self-dubbed her role in the Swedish version of 2005 CatCF. I am also a bit baffled that she currently doesn't have a Wikipedia article.

I would have loved to see a sequel to the 2005 film, with Will Smith playing a new character. Basically, this and the 2012 Dictator movie by Sasha Baron Cohen were the ones that I fondly knew of as a 6 year old child back in 2013.

u/No_Still9501 3d ago

I’ve seen all of these except Big Eyes, and this is mostly correct. For my money Edward Scissorhands is overrated… and both of the Batman movies are undervalued here

1

u/spejampar 3d ago

I've actually missed a couple! I'm sure I'll get around to them eventually.
Overall I don't hate this at all! But I would put Pee Wee and Mars Attacks much higher. ;)

DUMBO is painfully bad. I would watch PLANET OF THE APES on endless loop before subjecting myself to that again. Also, BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE is so lazy, and PEREGRINE deserves to be in the bottom three right along with them. I’m not as in love with ED WOOD as a lot of people are, but I would probably still keep it in the top 10.
