Favorite Tim Burton Film
 
Thought this might be good for a poll since there's a few TB fans here.

Rotting Eye 02-16-2004 05:29 PM

Man, that's tough. I went with Nightmare Before Christmas though. I really liked that movie, although many of his others are great, too.

He's remaking Charlie and the Chocolate Factory :D Johnny Depp is going to play Willy Wonka heh.

Arioch 02-16-2004 05:42 PM

Beetlejuice owns all other TB movies.

otis 02-16-2004 06:08 PM

TB is the man. I love all his movies. His batmans are the only good ones. I went with Nightmare before Chirstmas.

hellfire1 02-16-2004 06:08 PM

tough one... it's between batman returns and beetlejuice... aww shucks... how 'bout both ! :D

BudMan 02-16-2004 06:10 PM

bloodygurl02 02-16-2004 06:18 PM

i love most of those up there it was really hard for me to pick but i really like edward scissor hands

orangestar 02-16-2004 07:10 PM

I voted Edward Scissorhands, but Sleep Hollow is a very close second.

I love any Tim Burton Movie with Johnny Depp, so I cant wait for Willy Wonka to come out!

charlie is the main charecter that gets the factory in the book

Sam The Egg 02-16-2004 07:18 PM

Christopher Walken would make a great Willy Wonka


*Girl takes the gum that'll turn her into a blueberry*

Walken: No...wait...stop...

otis 02-16-2004 07:18 PM

no the fact kid didn't even make it through the movie. slugworth is the guy that talks to the kids after they get the ticket . hes secretive

Sam The Egg 02-16-2004 07:38 PM

Slugworth could be Ian McKellen or Guy Pearce

i can see Ian in that role.

Rotting Eye 02-16-2004 07:57 PM

Marilyn Manson was going to play Willy Wonka at first.. Then it went to Johnny instead.

Charlie should be played by that kid that played Damien. Too bad he's all grown up now. Wonka should be Jack Nicholson heh.. He's creepy enough. Grandpa could be Christopher Walken, and Slugworth could be hmm.. That's a tough one.

waht about the spoiled girl who should play her?? and the girl that becomes a blue berry

Rotting Eye 02-16-2004 08:03 PM

Aren't they the same girl?

I can't remember, it's been a long time since I've seen the movie.

But I dunno... There aren't too many young female actresses I can think of.

Well, Lindsey Lohan just came on TV, so I'll say her. heh.

otis 02-16-2004 08:07 PM

Winoa Ryder or that one girl, um........ Christina Ricci or something

Rotting Eye 02-16-2004 08:07 PM

OOOHHHHH Yeah, I remember now.

But I still don't know who should play her. All the young actresses are no good.

I don't think Tim would cast them. How is big fish? I heard it was kinda femine, well not femine, um..... romantic.

Psychoholic 02-16-2004 11:50 PM

I'm a bit dubious about charlie and the chocolate factory, I didn't think much of what he did with planet of the apes, and i'm a big fan of the original willy wonka film.

sleepaway 02-17-2004 12:08 AM

Pee Wee all the way!!!

sleepaway 02-17-2004 12:27 AM

I think all the kids in the new Wonka movie should be played by unknowns.

Although it would be fun to see the girl from The Gilmore Girls playing Veruca! Would be cool to see her playing a bitch! If she can do a British accent.

I hope they bring back The Nut Room with the squirrels and all the inventive sweets that are in the book.

I also hope they also do the bit where you see all the kids leave the factory all looking weird after what happened to each one. In the book Mike leaves all tall and skinny after being stretched!

Oh and just for the record the kids are:

Charlie Bucket
Augustus Gloop
Veruca Salt
Mike Teavee
Violet Beauregarde

Killer Clown#1 02-17-2004 10:40 AM

Nightmare before christmas is my all time favorite, a classic in my book:)

DarkwingMantis 02-17-2004 10:51 AM

Okay, I voted Ed Wood, but here is why I voted.

I am normally obssesd with Nightmare but i dont really count that as a Tim Burton film because he didnt direct it. and lets face it it, Mars attacks sucked

Aylmer 02-17-2004 12:03 PM

Hate to burst the number one movie's bubble but Burton didn't direct "Nightmare Before Christmas", so it kinda dosn't fit with the others. He did produce it though. Maybe take that one out and put in "Mars Attacks". "Ed Wood" would be my pick either way.

Rotting Eye 02-17-2004 12:07 PM

I never knew he didn't produce Nightmare... Henry Selick apparently did. Well in that case my vote changes to Beetlejuice :D
