Happy Birthday to Tim Burton, who turns 58 today.
I figured it was time to do a full updated list of My Top Ten Tim Burton Movies. Okay – I WAS going to include only the movies he has directed but I just cannot exclude The Nightmare Before Christmas. That movie is SO Burton’s film – it doesn’t matter that he wasn’t the director. I also really liked his Vincent & Frankenweenie short films but will only list full-length movies.
Well, here’s My Tim Burton Top Ten! But I’ll rank all that I’ve seen…
The Rest:
18. Alice In Wonderland
17. Charlie And The Chocolate Factory
16. Sleepy Hollow
15. Planet Of The Apes
14. Big Eyes
13. Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children
12. Frankenweenie
11. Dumbo
Top Ten:
10. TIE: Mars Attacks! & Batman Returns
9. Beetlejuice
8. Big Fish
7. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street
6. Corpse Bride
5. Batman
4. Ed Wood
3. Pee-wee’s Big Adventure
2. The Nightmare Before Christmas
1. Edward Scissorhands

Dark Shadows
And here’s the Ice Dance scene from Edward Scissorhands. This is one of my all-time favorite movie scenes and Danny Elfman’s beautiful music in this clip still gives me chills every time I watch it. I watch this clip every once in a while for a pick-me-up (along with the final scenes from Cinema Paradiso & City Lights). Gorgeous. Perfection. This is the type of scene that made me fall in love with movies. š
