Tim Burton’s movies have impacted audiences for generations with their creepiness, originality, and iconic characters. Tim Burton is a director, writer, producer, animator, and artist that makes stop motion, fantasy, horror, and comedy movies. I will be ranking my favorite Tim Burton movies out of ten, with one being the best. 

10. “James and the Giant Peach” – “James and the Giant Peach” was released April 12, 1996. and Tim Burton was the producer for the film. “James and the Giant Peach” is such a fun and unique movie because it has the element of starting off live action and turning into animation.

9. “Sleepy Hollow” – “Sleepy Hollow” was released in 1999 and Tim Burton was the director. The live adaptation of the cartoon is such a cool movie to watch around the spooky months. Also, the story line does have some of its own originality that goes along with it and makes it such a memorable movie.

8. “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” – In the 2005 adaptation of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” a remake of Willy Wonka in the Chocolate Factory, Tim Burton shows his watchers amazing sets and vibrant colors in almost every scene. The ending is different from the original as we get to see the once poor family now having a candlelit dinner in the chocolate factory.

7. “Batman 1989” – “Batman 1989″ is notorious for almost everything in it. The Joker, Batmobile, Michael Keaton, and the vibe of the movie. For me this is a very entertaining movie and one of my favorite scenes in the movie is when the Joker is wiping off his tan makeup and his skin is white underneath.

6. “Alice in Wonderland” – “Alice in Wonderland” directed by Tim Burton in 2010 was an impressive remake of the animated film made in 1951. The character design of the Mad Hatter is now I would say more well known than the animated version.

5. “The Nightmare Before Christmas” – “The Nightmare Before Christmas” was a story created by Tim Burton that was released in 1993 and is the third most successful stop motion movie. This movie always sticks around for me considering that you can watch it at Christmas and Halloween time.

4. “Corpse Bride” – “Corpse Bride” directed by Tim Burton in 2005 is another amazing animated movie that blew people away once again. This is such a fun movie especially when you get to see the color change when Victor goes to the underworld with Emily.

3. “Beetlejuice” – “Beetlejuice” was released in 1988, directed by Tim Burton, and was pretty successful considering it had an average budget. It ended up being the tenth highest grossing film in 1988. Shockingly, “Beetlejuice” isn’t even in the movie for 20 minutes.

2. “Edward Scissorhands” – “Edward Scissorhands” is one of my personal favorite movies besides it being a Tim Burton movie. Something about the way that Tim Burton created such an unsettling world in a different way. Like seeing the scary in things that are supposed to be normal, like neighborhoods, but then seeing elegance in what you’re supposed to be scared of.

1. “Pee Wee’s Big Adventure” – Tim Burton’s first big hit, “Pee Wee’s Big Adventure” will always be my favorite Tim Burton movie. When I was young I saw it as a horror movie because Large Marge’s scene always scared me. Pee Wee Herman is such a genuine, unique character that deserves more recognition in today’s generations.
