Though I think Tim Burton is very overrated, he has still made some enjoyable films. These are my favorites of his.

1. Ed wood

2. Sleepy Hollow

3. Big Fish

4. Mars Attacks

5. Beetle Juice

The only film of his that I've actually enjoyed are Ed Wood and Sweeney Todd. I think he's massively overrated.

Tim Burton is so over-rated. Edward Scissor Hands is by far his best movie and maybe just maybe....PeeWee's Bid Adventure....

I enjoyed Edward Scissorhands, Sweeny Todd, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Batman. I don't think he's a great director, but, as you say, some of his films are definitely entertaining.

I thought his version of sweeney todd wa pretty bad to be honest, I have seen the play live before and Burton's version was sub par at best. I dont get why he used so much blood., it just looked stupid.

Ed Wood was simultaneously funny and sad...decent movie. Edward Scissor Hands, however, will always be my favorite film by Burton.

I know he did not direct this film, but he did produce it and was screenwriter... But Nightmare Before Christmas is just a classic.

Edward Scissorhands, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, and Sweeney Todd were among some of my favorites aswell.

My favourite is Edward Scissorhands but I really liked Sleepy Hollow as well. I hope his version of Alice In Wonderland is good. It has a good cast so I think it might be.

I dont really understand why he's so popular. His best movie is Ed Wood. Batman and a few others have been good. But not great.

Pretty good cast, I like Alan Rickman in anything but I must be the only person who doesnt like Helena Bonham Carter.

I agree, Alan Rickman is great but I'm not sure about Helena Bonham Carter. I haven't seen her in many movies.

I haven't seen many of his films, but Batman and The Nightmare Before Christmas are two of my favorite films ever.

I like Edward Scissorhands. I love Sleepy Hollow. And I've had a little Nightmare Before Christmas shrine set up since before it was popular to love the movie (pretty much when it came out in theatres), although yes, I know it wasn't directed by Tim Burton. It still reeks of Tim Burton, though, and is blended with Danny Elfman. Big Fish and Ed Wood weren't bad either, although I wouldn't put them with the others.

Big Fish is superior to every other T Burton movie
