Color me happy that “Sleepy Hollow” got a top-tier ranking — what a freaky and wonderful movie. The casting was positively inspired, with Christopher Walken (oh dear God those TEETH!) as the baddie and Johnny Depp as the wimpy, oh-I’ve-got-the-vapors hero.

Moving on, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has no place on ANY list that is describing anything positive. This movie was a pile of trash. End of story.

While at first glance, it seems like Big Fish should be higher than a number 8, there not a whole lot than can be moved down in its favor. Seeing all of Burton’s flicks in a row like this is really pretty friggen’ impressive.

And Heather, I totally gots yo back on Ed Wood. It’s overrated, it’s not my cup of tea. I just don’t get the appeal.

So given that Charlie should be removed, the film most deserving to replace it on the top ten would be… wait for it… Mars Attacks! I feel it’s underrated and never recieved its due as the clever satire that it is.

You came pretty darn close, Heather. Nine out ten correct, with minimal ordering issues. Well done.

I know it’s well loved, especially amongst Burton fans, but it’s one of the few that I didn’t fully have an appreciation for. I realize I will continue to get flack for that, but it is what it is.

The only reason I didn’t include “Nightmare” was because he didn’t direct it, and I was picking films he directed or co-directed otherwise it would have been in place of Corpse Bride, even though Nightmare clearly is Burton inspired.
