No "Big Fish" on the list?

I haven't seen all of his films, but Beetlejuice has always been my favorite of the ones I have seen.

I'm only ranking my favorite Burton films, since it's really late (or early, depending on how you look at it), and I'm so tired I can barely keep my eyes open:

1. Edward Scissorhands
2. The Nightmare Before Christmas
3. Ed Wood
4. Big Fish
5. Sleepy Hollow
6. Beetlejuice
7. Mars Attacks!

That's all for now...I've really gotta go to sleep! :)

I would like to say that Tim Burton did not direct the Nightmare Before Christmas. He did, however, write the poem that helped create the movie.

I'm aware, but he, in reality, really handled every creative element of it, except maybe the angles. He had the characters in his head forever, right down to what they look like, and I'm he also created their world's look, and I know he came up with the story. So in my mind, it's Tim to the core.

That's a good way of looking at it. I miss understood because I thought you meant directed movies. IT's a common misconception among people. I'm glad you are aware. :D And yes, watch Ed Wood, It's a great film :wink:

Yeah, I didn't include it on my list because he didn't direct it, but it is true that he was the main creative force behind it.

I was wondering when someone would point this out. :wink: I included it in my list, though, because I consider it "his."
