Tim Burton first appeared on the scene in the early 80s with two short films, "Vincent", and "Frankenweenie", both shot in black and white. Then, in 1985, he got his big break with "Pee Wee's Big Adventure". Tim rounded out the 80s with two big classics - 1988's "Beetlejuice" and 1989's "Batman".




Of course, Tim continued to be one of the most brilliant visionaries of his time into the 90s and 00s with "Edward Scissorhands", "Batman Returns", "Ed Wood", "Mars Attacks", "Sleepy Hollow", "Planet Of The Apes", "Big Fish", "Charlie And The Chocolate Factory", "The Corpse Bride", and "Sweeney Todd". Next up : "Alice In Wonderland" in 2010.

Tim is my favorite director after Steven Spielberg.

He has some good films.I love Edward Scissorhands.

[Barrybgb]

ES is the best!. There's very few of his that I didn't love. He's a genius.

[Melis]

Thanks for the thread. He is great.

[Barrybgb]

No problem. I just can't believe I didn't think of it sooner!.

[Rainstorm Jenny]

One of my favorite directors ever

I cant wait to see 9, it looks good.

[T-Bag'sGirl]

I can't wait to see the other movies he comes out with.

[Barrybgb]

Jenny - It wasn't until just a few days ago I had even heard of 9. Lol. Tim is just a producer, but it does look burton-y!. Lol.

T- Bag's Girl - I can't wait either. Here is what he has cooking : "Alice In Wonderland" is his next film. Out this spring. Two others he has in the pipeline include a 3-D stop motion animation film on his early short film, "Frankenweenie", and a film version of the old 70's vampire soap opera "Dark Shadows", with Johnny Depp.

[Rainstorm Jenny]

Oh yes 9 does look very Tim Burton feel to it. I just saw it tonight, it was good like I thought. Tim is just awesome.

Can't wait to see what the creative mind of Tim Burton comes up with.

Really cool Tim B pics up top.

and a film version of the old 70's vampire soap opera "Dark Shadows"

So that's what "Dark Shadows" is! Just looks like an oddly filmed soap from the land that time forgot.

While I love his early classics best, I feel like "Alice in Wonderland" was just *made* for a director like him.

[Barrybgb]

Jenny - I'm glad you liked it. I'll probably check this one out on DVD.

T-Bag's Girl - I can't wait either. A new Burton film is cause for celebration!.

playgroundDiaries - Thanks!. Yeah, for a while I had no clue what this weird, old soap was. Lol. But it sounds interesting. AIW does seem like it was made for him, as was "Sleepy Hollow" I think. Certain material and directors just match.

[Rainstorm Jenny]

You should for sure, Im thinking of buying it on DVD. I cant wait to see Alice in wonderland next.

I've heard "Alice" is pretty trippy. Lol.

I just got the "Nightmare Before Christmas" DVD and it is beyond awesome. It also has both of his early 80s short films, "Frankenweenie" and "Vincent" on there. It's a great package if you don't already have it.

[Rainstorm Jenny]

Oh I wouldnt doubt it one bit if it was even more trippy then the original.
