"Cut! That was perfect!"

    
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was the first one. Back in the times when I didn't care about directors and producers. When movies weren't more than something fun to have on rainy days. And still it was the beginning.

Big Fish was my first Tim Burton love. A magical movie. A beautiful story about love, dreams and the beauty of life. A movie I can rewatch many times and every time I fell in love like I haven't seen it before.

Ed Wood was the first one where I realized how awesome the combination Burton+Depp is. A weird story about a strange director played by an ingenious actor, directed by a crazy person. This just have to be perfect. And it is.

Alice in Wonderland was a bit disappointing. But that's okay. It still is an amazing piece of art. Maybe it's also just me who can't fall in love with Alice in Wonderland.

Corpse Bride made my life better. Most likely my favorite Tim Burton movie so far. A funny movie, with witty dialogs, amazing music and awesome characters and voices. A movie I could watch every day...several times...

Edward Scissorhands The perfect proof that great acting doesn't need words. I wanted to hug Edward all the time through the movie. Johnny Depp did such a good job. The story is touching. Tears are guaranteed.

Sweeney Todd is probably not the perfect movie for me. Apparently I can't watch it when someone cuts one's throat (because knives and scissors freak me out...) and I thought there's something missing in the story and it felt a lot like Harry Potter with Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman and Timothy Spell, but probably I should just watch it again and concentrate on what's going on. *cough*

This is my Tim Burton journey so far. It will go on and on until he stops making movies. And I'm sure my love will grow.
With his movies he invites you to dream. He takes you to magical places and he does it with a lot of details, love, craziness and creativity that you have to fall in love with it. No matter what.

If you have never seen a Tim Burton movie you should definitely try one. How about Big Fish or Corpse Bride?

Do you like Tim Burton movies? Or is there a different director whose work you admire?

I watched four Tim Burton movies within two days. First Alice in Wonderland then Corpse Bride. Then Corpse Bride again followed by Edward Scissorhands and Sweeney Todd. Amazing...
