Tim Burton's films have been a special interest of mine ever since January of this year, although I did enjoy Nightmare Before Christmas and the Beetlejuice cartoon when I was a toddler. Alice in Wonderland is my top favorite, but I have a lot of love for other Burton/Depp collaborations as well, particularly Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sweeney Todd and Edward Scissorhands.
I have to say, I don't think I have ever seen an original Tim Burton film, with the exception of
Edward Scissorhands when I was a kid (and thus I can remember little of it), and most of
The Nightmare Before Christmas (which he wrote and produced, but didn't direct). I've seen his two
Batman films,
Mars Attacks! (which I saw recently for the first time in years, and found it wanting in entertainment value this time around),
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and, of course,
Alice in Wonderland. I consider
Batman Returns to be top of the pile in that lot, and
Mars Attacks to be down the bottom.
Bit of trivia for you, then. Which two actors who have appeared in Tim Burton's films have also appeared in
Doctor Who and
Blake's 7? Here's a clue: in
Doctor Who, they both played pseudo-Chinese characters, one a toymaker, and the other a homicidal ventriloquist dummy.
