^Nightmare Before Christmas wasn't directed by Tim Burton though, only written by him.

 

[coelophysis]

I really don't like his newer stuff.

Ed Wood is one of my all time favorites.

still, it's my second favourite film. it deserves to be in every poll, including best american film, non-american film, best tim burton film and best non-tim burton film

 

[tambourine-man]

Beetle juice.

No question. Batman was good for its time, but it's aged badly.

Michael Keaton's finest hours.

very true but its still something he was part of whether directed or written. i think the fact that he wrote it makes him even a bigger part of it, it was his idea

ya meaann?

 

[AmorRoark]

^ If we're going to include writing we need to re-do a lot of polls here. :D

one trick pony?

"Alice in Wonderland 3D" and "Sweeney Todd" helmer Tim Burton is doing yet another remake with a 3D stop-motion animated version of "The Addams Family" reports Deadline NY.

This new version however will not be related to the classic TV comedy or the 90's films, but rather the original Charles Addams drawings that appeared in New Yorker magazine and inspired the show. This version will likely have a more adult and witty tone in line with the original drawings.

A writer is being sought for the film and should be hired shortly. Burton's next project, "Frankenweenie", uses a 3D/stop-motion technique that will also be employed on this.

scratch that
reverse it

"Tim Burton's representatives say "There is no truth to the story. Tim has not lined up any of his upcoming projects" in regards to yesterday's reports that he's involved in a 3D stop-motion animated feature based on "The Addams Family" original sketches..."

Nightmare Before Christmas is my favourite movie, Burton's idea, Selick directing & Danny Elfman's singing/music just make it magical.

Out of the stuff he actually directed Ed Wood, Vincent & Edward Scissorhands are probably favourites. The Batman ones were cool.

Beetlejuice scared the hell out of me as a kid.

Apart from Big Fish his stuff since Ed Wood has been pretty weak. Alice, Charlie & Corpse Bride were complete crap.

 

[HighonLife]

Big Fish was good

but does this thread got no love for Coraline? Nightmare before christmas?

Wish Alice in Wonderland woulda been better. i enjoyed it but expected much more

 

[Feste]

Burton had nothing to do with Coraline at all. I wish people would stop attributing it to him. It's written by Neil Gaiman & directed by Selick; Selick also directed Nightmare Before Christmas hence why it's not on the list above. Tim Burton designed the characters & other bits for Nightmare & wrote the basic story in the form of a poem, he didn't write the screenplay or anything.

 

[egor]

Nightmare Before Christmas with Sleepy Hollow close in second...

 

[sir pacman]

Everyones thoughts on Alice In Wonderland?

 

[MistaJeff]

Scissor hands for sure. I love that movie.

 

[daysonatrain]

nightmare is possibly the best film ever made imo (its even called "Tim Burtans the Nightmare Before Christmas"... but since it wasnt directed by burton id have to go with mars attacks as a second and ed wood as a third.

I watched Coraline yesterday

while i dont claim to know anything about Coraline or Tim Burton, the movie for sure says Tim Burton in the pre movie credits.

he had some part in the movie, or it wouldnt say his name

Can't see anything about it on those.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0327597/
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/coraline/

& nothing about him on the movie's pages.

I guess he's friends with Selick, so it could have been a shout out, but he had nothing to do with the movie as far as I can tell.

I'll have to watch again, but I don't remember his name popping up, but I don't pay much attention to opening credits.

EDIT//just watched the opening sequence & can't see his name anywhere.

 

[HighonLife]

Its there.

watch again

 

[Feste]

Just did, twice!

Can't find a good copy of the intro on youtube, but there whole film is here:

Burton's name doesn't appear.
