  • @CaseyandLizzie I feel like 9 is so underrated! Such an amazing movie! I want to be best friends with Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter! They are like the epitome of my obsessions!
  • Damn you, Bruins.  I absolutely cannot pick.  Jerkface
    AlternaTickers - Cool, free Web tickers
  • @madeofawesome it is a hard choice! You can pick another if you want! I know I missed a couple of the classics.
  • In that case... probably Beetlejuice.  Then Nightmare Before Christmas and then Corpse Bride. Mars Attacks was pretty fucking hilarious too.

    Indeed! HBC is fucking brilliant in every role she's cast, and I would love to pick Tim Burton's brain to find out how he comes up with all this amazing ideas!

    I'm SOOORRRYYY!!

    I just never really "got" his whole cult following. I mean his movies are ok, but eh, I could take them or leave them. And his version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory makes me sad :(

  • I. Can't. PICK. JUST. ONE!!

    @bruinsbabe33 I can't believe you included FRANKENWEENIE and not BEETLEJUICE! For shame!!

    I can narrow it to three: Beetlejuice, Nightmare Before Christmas, and Edward Scissorhands. That's it, though! I can't narrow it down any more than that.

  • @AmandaF6383 I realized this after I posted, I was just watching Frankenweenie last night so it was on my mind.
  • I LOVE Tim Burton but The Nightmare BeforeChristmas holds a special place in my heart. II love all the movies but I have an emotional connection to The Nightmare Before Christmas. My little brother and I watch it every year on Christmas Eve and now my DH joins in :)
