The perfect mix of serious grungy Batman and old kitchy silly Adam west Batman
i didn’t watch the third bc I watched terminator instead but 1&2 are simply the perfect Batman IMO
I’m in the middle of a Burton watch through and forgot how important his movies were to me as a kid. His early run (plus the visual language of Nightmare Before Christmas) taught me auteur theory. Ed Wood is a masterpiece. Big Fish was one of the first grown up movies I saw in a theatre (a packed theatre, opening weekend). Edward Scissorhands was a manual to teenage romance. I love it all so much.
he made “halloween“ so he sorta owns the holiday. like duh the dude is the best - it’s not common to have directors that also score their films and that’s part of why he’s so epic. controlling both sound & vision and really sucking you into these weird movies - his genre is so complex too, not straight horror, not quite comedy i love all his films for different reasons but these are maybe my top 3: in the mouth of madness
they live
the fog
