What is your favorite Tim Burton/Johnny Depp collaboration?
Rumor (well, IMDB rumor anyway) has it that Burton will be directing Johnny Depp in Dark Shadows. That should be interesting, even though I had no use for the show.
I really like Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, although I've really started liking Edward Scissorhands recently. I saw it during its theatrical run and wasn't impressed, but after watching it several times on HBO, I've changed my mind. Maybe because it's been 18 (!) years.
Sweeney Todd and Sleepy Hollow were both pretty good. I didn't like Ed Wood. Never saw Corpse Bride.

Ed Wood followed by Edward Scissorhands.

I really dig Sleepy Hollow and Edward Scissorhands. Both have their flaws but are wonderful little fairy tale-ish films.
But Ed Wood is a pretty remarkable little film, easily Burton's best.
Corpse Bride, Sweeney Todd and Charlie are pretty lacking IMO (but I love the wicked opening credit sequence for Charlie)

I'm in the minority I suppose, voting Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I really wasn't looking forward to seeing that movie, but Depp's portrayal of Wonka was great. I'm also a fan of Edward Scissorhands and from the previous posts, I guess I should check out Ed Wood sometime.

I ended up going with Edward Scissorhands. The 'ice dance' scene with Elfman's amazing score playing give's me chills every time.
Sleepy Hollow would be my runner up. Still haven't seen Sweeny Todd or Ed Wood though.

Ed Wood! I watch it and Young Frankenstein around Halloween every year. As many of y'all said (or implied), it really is a perfect little film - in my book, at least.
