Re: The Best Burton/Depp film
Can someone list all their collaborations please. My answer is Ed Wood, but maybe I'm forgetting something.

Ed Wood IS the correct answer here.
But this gives me a chance to mention how I think Edward Scissorhands is soooooo overrated. Not only do I think it's overrated, I actually don't even think it's a "good" movie.

With the exception of the bolded titles that reads like a list of Tim Burton's worst films. These two love to work together but their track record is awful.

Re: The Best Burton/Depp film
That just reads like a list of all the films Burton has made since 1990 (though it does exclude two of his worst, Mars Attacks and Planet of the Apes.)
(Which is to say that I don't think the problem is Depp, but rather with Burton's general lack of creativity/storytelling abilities over the last 20 years.)

man oh man, Mars Attacks gets such hatred here, I thought it was a riot! I do agree though that 'Planet of the Apes' sucked monkey balls.

While I realize it does not star Johnny Depp I will stick up for Mars Attacks! It's probably his best film after Pee-Wee and Beetlejuice.

Re: The Best Burton/Depp film
I don't much like Pee-Wee or Beetlejuice either - I don't dislike them like I dislike some of his later films, but I won't be unhappy if I never see them again.
I think the early 90s were by far his most artistically successful period, with only two or three decent or good movies since then.

I think Mars Attacks is vomitously bad. It's only topped by Alice In Wonderland, which has been known to give children rickets.
And my favorite Tim Burton film is still Batman Returns.

Re: The Best Burton/Depp film
Edward Scissorhands, then Ed Wood, then Sleepy Hollow. After that, it's all hacky. I remember once when Burton made some joke about the Harry Potter films all being the same - kind of a fair point, but those that live in glass houses...
