Reverend Jax Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 Had to leave out "Faerie Tale Theatre - Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp (1984)". Hope everyone will be able to live without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkerSeed Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 It's gotta be Edward Scissorhands hands down (no pun intended) for me. I just love the look of it. The garish colors in the neighborhood, the slightly creepy bushes that Edward cuts... it just looks great. Also has one of my favorite movie scores ever. The music's just awesome. The story is really simple, but really effective, it gets me every time. I hope Burton can go back to making stuff like this again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Bob Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 Yes, if only, JS. My personal favorite is The Nightmare Before Christmas, but I know he didn't actually direct that one, so I'll also go for Edward Scissorhands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted June 28, 2002 Author Share Posted June 28, 2002 That's funny. It says he directed it. Did he just take credit for some random dark looking film film because they wanted it to have mainstream creditibly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkerSeed Posted June 29, 2002 Share Posted June 29, 2002 No, he produced it, came up with all the characters, essentially wrote the story, designed just about everything in the movie, and then Henry Selick (James and the giant peach, Monkeybone) actually directed it. It says "Tim Burton's 'A Nightmare Before Christmas'" which simply means that it's kind of his movie because it's all his ideas and his style. but the actual job of the guy who pointed the cameras and all that was Henry Selick. Sort of like how they'll call it "Stephen Speilberg's Animaniacs" but he didnt actually direct any episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted June 29, 2002 Author Share Posted June 29, 2002 When I made the poll, I went to Yahoo shopping, got Burton's filmography under 'director', copied and pasted it into the poll and got rid of "Faerie Tale Theatre - Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp (1984)" since there were 11 movies. I didn't even realize The Nightmare Before Christmas wasn't on there, and I own it on DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Bob Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 I actually think it shoulda been called "Tim Burton and Danny Elfman's Nightmare Before Christman" because Danny Elfman did almost as much to make that movie. He even did Jack's singing voice. But I guess that was too much of a title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
