| i think i like all of his stuff but i'd say that some are more watchable over and over again than others. Beetlejuice is one of my favourite films of all time and i've seen it god knows how many times, so that's number one obviously.
i absolutely adore Sleepy Hollow and Batman Returns, both of which i've seen about a million times each, but i could take or leave Batman. I think i found Jack Nicholson a little too frightening, even when i watch it now.
I remember liking Pee Wee's Big Adventure a lot, though it's been at least ten years since i last saw it. i'd quite like it on DVD actually. Ed Wood is pretty good but i don't think it would be half as good if Johnny Depp wasn't in it. Big Fish and Edward Scissorhands make me too upset to watch again even though i love them. i think i would love Nightmare Before Christmas if i had seen it as a child but as it is i only think it's good, not great. Planet of the Apes was kind of meh, as was Corpse Bride. Mars Attacks was shite, pretty much.
so basically:
love
Beetlejuice
Sleepy Hollow
Batman Returns
Edward Scissorhands
Pee Wee's Big Adventure
Big Fish
like

haven't seen Sweeney Todd but I'm pretty sure i'm going to like it because i think that it's one of the best stories ever. |
