- Edward Scissorhands (1990) In a lot of ways, Edward Scissorhands is the quintessential Tim Burton movie, and also the quintessential Johnny Depp performance.
- Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street (2007) Speaking of Academy Awards, he was nominated for Best Actor (but lost) for his portrayal of Sweeney Todd in this musical adaptation where he actually sings.
- Ed Wood (1994) As I mentioned earlier, Ed Wood is my favorite Tim Burton movie, as it just has everything going for it. It’s a history lesson, it’s fun, it’s engaging, and the acting is impeccable.
- Charlie And The Chocolate Factory (2005) I know I’m the only person on the planet who actually likes Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but one of the reasons I do is because of Johnny Depp’s bizarre performance, which is in steep contrast to Gene Wilder’s performance in the classic movie, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

By the time of their most recent collaboration, Dark Shadows,based on the supernatural soap opera from the 1960s, the working relationship between Tim Burton and Johnny Depp had already worn thin. It was almost expected that any project Tim Burton directed would somehow have the involvement of Depp, and the actor wearing garish white make-up and pl...
The problem with Alice in Wonderlandis not the movie itself but how it highlighted Tim Burton's growing over-reliance on casting Johnny Depp. As the Mad Hatter, Depp is at a supporting character to Mia Wasikowska's titular Alice. However, since he was a more recognizable name than Wasikowska, he got top billing, with the Mad Hatter's clownish make-...
Johnny Depp was cast as Willy Wonka in Tim Burton's re-adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate factory after a six-year hiatus of the two working with each other. That was the longest gap between their collaborations until their current lapse. By this point, Depp had become a superstar after appearing in the first of the Pirates of the Caribbean mo...
The stop-motion film Corpse Bride was released only three months after Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Loosely based on a Jewish folktale, Corpse Brideended up being the better of Johnny Depp's two collaborations with Tim Burton in 2005. Part of this is because the animation allowed Depp to disappear into the character of Victor Van Dort. Corpse...
Of the later collaborations between Johnny Depp and Tim Burton, 2007's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Streetis the best. The movie is based on the 1979 Stephen Sondheim musical of the same name, and Depp goes all out in his performance as the vengeful barber turned serial killer of the title. The movie also allowed both Johnny Depp and Hel...
The argument from this point forward is that Johnny Depp's collaborations with Tim Burton from the 1990s are their best. Part of the reasoning for this comes from how each of their collaborations this decade had a multi-year hiatus in between. Burton's reimagining of Sleepy Hollow was the last of these 1990s collaborations, arriving five years afte...
Johnny Depp's second collaboration with Tim Burton was also his most straightforward. A biopic of the notorious B-movie filmmaker of the same name, Ed Woodsees Burton and Depp treat their subject with much reverence. Depp portrays Ed Wood with much wide-eyed wonder as someone proud to be considered the worst filmmaker of all time. Ed Wood is a movi...
To put things in context, when Johnny Depp was cast as the titular character in Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands, he was still in the middle of his breakthrough role on the television series 21 Jump Street. Playing the very unusual titular lead of Edward Scissorhands helped Depp escape the teen heartthrob status that 21 Jump Street had given him. T...

Oct 21, 2022 · Since working on fantastical romance film about an artificial man with scissors for hands, the duo has gone on to make eight films together. Burton created several films with Depp at the center...
- Ed Wood (1994) The most successful collaboration between Depp and Burton arrived in 1994’s Ed Wood, a dark (though often hilarious) true-life tale about, well, Ed Wood — the iconic director who crafted some of Hollywood’s biggest stinkers.
- Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) I’m not much for musicals, but Sweeney Todd delivers. This is the tale of a begrudged barber, Benjamin Barker (played by Depp), who sets out to murder Judge Turpin (Alan Rickman), the man who ruined his life.
- Edward Scissorhands (1990) Edward Scissorhands works so well for much of its runtime that it’s a shame when the picture falls to pieces in its third act.
- Corpse Bride (2005) Corpse Bride is a gorgeous stop-motion adventure with delightful characters, fabulous designs, and plenty of imagination to spare.
