Tim Burton's Best LOOKING Film?

[cj3]

We all know TB has iconic looking films, but if you had to admire the aesthetics of one, which is it?

[DiBiase is Good]

Edward Scissorhands probably. It mixes the gaudy pastel shades of the town perfectly with the dark gothic nature of the Inventor’s decrepit Mansion.

[Ultimo Gallos]

Ed Wood,also his best film.

I’d say for me Batman 89, it’s a masterpiece of set direction that throws you into the comic the most of the live action films IMO. My favorites of his outside of that are Ed Wood (a lot of that is Martin Landau), Pee Wee and Corpse Bride, but those two Batman’s are crazy immersive.

100% the first thing that came to mind. God do I love Ed Wood, just f***ing brilliant

Yep,it Pee Wee's Big Adventure and Mars Attacks are the only TB films I own. There are a few others of his I like but those three I want to be able to see them whenever I feel like it.

Batman Returns for the look of Gotham in Winter.

[Milkman Norm]

Big Fish, because he shot the current timeline sequences in a non Burton way, which gave the fantastical sequence a totally detached feel which worked from a narrative perspective.

[Hit Girl]

Batman Returns

[ace]

Well…Ed Wood (which is a masterpiece) is the only one I ever want to look at. Does that count?

[Kalmia]

Bit of an outside pick, but I really loved the look and vibe of Sleepy Hollow.

But yeah, I think it's Edward Scissorhands and the Batman movies overall.

[andrew8798]

While everyone usually picks Batman 89 or Edward. Sleepy Hollow is such an underrated pick. Great cast, awesome music just a great movie

[A Platypus Rave is Correct]

I do love Edward Scissorhands look.

I always felt his Gotham was too cramped and small. Since it was a soundstage and only had like 3 street corners.

I think Schumacher improved upon the style he was going for while also making it feel like a sprawling metropolis.

No one has said Beetlejuice yet??

Ok well here's me saying Beetlejuice to give it some love!

[yokohamacpfc]

Sweeny Todd because I'm a sucker for anything Victorian London related.

I don’t really understand how people think the first Batman looks good. It has some nice designs…but the movie itself is cloudy, cluttered and largely looks like shit

[Limity (BLM)]

Big Fish!

[Raskovnik]

Sleepy Hollow is my favorite, for sure visually and maybe overall.

[Mainia]

Nobody else say Beetlejuice again just in case... ah crap...

Looks like shit is an opinion.

Cloudy and cluttered could be argued but I would agree with it as a fact. But that was a deliberate design choice for Gotham and opinions will vary. I would argue it works. Shows Gotham as a once mighty but now dirty and run down.
