Tim Burton is my favorite movie director. All of his movies are good (except for Mars Attacks!, Batman, and Planet of the Apes). I'm excited for 9, Alice in Wonderland, Dark Shadows, and Frankenweenie!

I would consider myself to be a fan, I guess.
I love The Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, Edward Scissorhands, and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

I think Tim Burton Should do an animated film about Christopher Columbus on how he discovered america in 1492.

Yes, I like his films.

My favorite films by him are 'Edward Scissorhands' and 'Ed Wood'.

Big fan! Pretty much of everything Burtonesque , maybe not Planet of the Apes, but I found the original incredibly depressing and don't particularly like the Wahlberg.

I have been a huge fan since I first saw Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice is my most favourite of all Burtons movies. Other favourites include The nightmare before Christmas, Pee Wees big adventure, Frankenweenie and Edward Scissorhands.

Sure, I'm a fan. I guess I like all his movies except for Willie Wonka, because I am a loyal fan of the first one.

I like a lot of his stuff, but I wouldn't go out of my way to see a movie just because he was the director. I've really liked Batman, Batman Returns, Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Yep, definitely one of my favorite directors! He's directed many of my favorite films: "Sleepy Hollow," "Sweeney Todd," "Edward Scissorhands," "Beetlejuice," and even though he didn't direct "The Nightmare Before Christmas," it's still basically his movie. "Ed Wood" was pretty good too.

I haven't loved everything he's done though. I wish he'd taken a REALLY dark approach with "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." That is a horror film waiting to happen. And "Alice" looks good and weird, but he should be doing "American McGee's Alice," dernit.

It's a style, i like how he adapted it to his movies. :p (If you need a hint, there's always a spinning wheel or something that looks cartoonish)

He's great, except for "Mars attacks" which really is one of the worst movies I've ever seen

Hello Veresae (Hi-jacking the Tim Burton thread, I know, sorry!) ...but if you like the idea of a darker, menacing version of Alice in Wonderland, I was sent the link to the reviews of Jan Svankmajer's version of Alice...featuring stop motion taxidermied animals etc...so here it is

Click me

I wish I could see the actual film, will have to get round to it...
