Hey, guys!
I know Halloween's over, but I'm a fan of Tim Burton all year round. That's why I thought I would make a list of all my favorite Tim Burton movies of all time.
After reading this blog post, feel free to name your favorite Tim Burton movie in the comments below.
Here's the list!
1) Coraline
This is probably my favorite Tim Burton movie. Kid-friendly for the most part, if not a little bit disturbing. Basically, a girl moves into a new flat with her parents and finds a portal to a fantastical dimension in which everything was created for her enjoyment and her other parents pay attention to her . . . and everyone has buttons for eyes.
Coraline's other mother wants her to stay forever in that world, but there's a catch: Coraline would have to sew buttons in place of her eyes. The other mother won't let Coraline go until she does so, now Coraline must find a way to escape.
2) Corpse Bride
My favorite Tim Burton movie until I saw Coraline. The main character, Victor, is betrothed to Victoria, a virtual stranger chosen by his parents. Despite not having known each other, Victor and Victoria seem to have a connection. Unfortunately, when a nervous Victor botches his vows at the rehearsal, he takes a walk to try to collect himself.
Victor wanders into the wood where he recites his vows to perfection and places the band on an old branch that is actually a corpse's hand. This corpse was once a beautiful bride murdered by her fiance for her riches. Now Victor is transported to the land of the dead where he is expected to live the rest of his days with his new bride. There's some dark humor, but overall a good movie in my opinion.
3) Alice in Wonderland
A classic tale by Lewis Caroll retold by Tim Burton. An older Alice falls back down the rabbit hole and into Wonderland. Believing it's all a dream, Alice joins the Mad Hatter and the White Queen to overthrow the Red Queen's tyranny. To do this, Alice must slay the Jabberwocky.
4) Edward Scissorhands
I didn't see this movie until recently. For some reason, the concept of a man with scissors for hands didn't sit right with me when I was a kid. But after seeing it, I fell in love with Johnny Depp's character, Edward. Edward was created by a man who gave him scissors for temporary hands but died before his real hands could be added.
Edward is found by a lady from a local suburbia and taken in. Edward is such a kind and innocent spirit that it is at once heart-warming and heart-breaking to watch him struggle to fit in in this new modern world and even more heart-breaking to watch almost everyone shun him because of his lethal hands. So many feels.
Don't forget to comment about your favorite Tim Burton movie(s)!
