Home?
I have no home.
Hunted, despised, living like an animal.
The jungle, is my home.
And I will show the world that I can be its master!
I will perfect my own race of people, a race of atomic supermen, which will conquer the world.
Hahaha.

Look at that.
Can you make that sound good?
I rest my case.

Sweeney Todd is my favorite Tim Burton movie though. I know all of the dialogue and songs by heart.
Yeah...

Sweeney Todd, loved that film. I was like: "Musical? Err, no thanks" Then I saw it on DvD at a friends house.... :3

Objectively speaking, I'd say Ed Wood or Edward Scissorhands are his finest films. You can tell there is a degree of personal affinity for those characters involved which his other work cannot quite match.

My personal favourite, however, would have to be Batman Returns. Thematically the most interesting of his catalogue, not least because of the inspired biblical inflections and Catwoman acting as an agent of third-wave feminism.


P.S

That said, this video series is pretty obnoxious.

My personal favorite is Batman, with Sweeney Todd is second. Have been meaning to check out Ed Wood for some time just to see what all the fuss is about though.

I know you guys like to screw around, but if you had even considered bringing up Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I would've had to GTFO.

It has been a long time since I watched Big Fish, but I remember liking it.

oh wait I remembered something I didn't quite like, it has a young miley cyrus. Her role is very small, but it is one of those things that once you see it you always notice.

I must agree, if a grown man can watch Big Fish and now shead a single tear, he has no soul.

Big Fish is hands down my favorite Tim Burton film. It has his style without being another Beetlejuice clone. And it's just a feel-good movie.

It manages to be both completely sad, and happy at the same time.

But Beetlejuice and Batman would be close behind....

Well... I don't like all of Tim Burton's work by a long shot, but I think you guys are being just a tad harsh on him.

I find your ruling invalid, Big Fish wins every time and not crying to it means you are Satan.

"Ed Wood" is one my favorite movies of all time, let alone those by Tim Burton. Sweeney Todd comes in a close second

This for sure!

Although, if these are the two i have to choose from, Big Fish unfortunately (cause it's a good movie) get immediately disqualified for stealing 'Edward Scissorhand's' soundtrack.

OH THANK GOD. More people who understand that Nightmare Before Christmas is NOT HIS MOVIE. I've been threatened with violence for correcting people on that point.

I seriously love this series. It's like an argument I'd have but with pictures to get the point across. I haven't seen either of those Tim Burton movies so I'll withhold judgement.
