Disney animator turned legendary director Tim Burton is famous for making films that have a macabre whimsy, an absurd sense of humor, and a distinct visual style. Tim Burtonâs movies are sumptuous eye candy with exaggerated set designs and sharp juxtapositions between gloomy grays and vivid colors. And all of his films center on misfits and oddballs who defy social norms, whether it be real-life artists or ghosts stubbornly haunting a home.
To celebreate of the release of the highly anticipated sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, we figured weâd rank all of Burtonsâ blockbusters. This list ranks all 19 films Tim Burton has directed since 1985, honoring a decades-long career that celebrates the weirdos of this world. Halloween has come early this year, folks.
(Note: Burton did not direct The Nightmare Before Christmas, a common misconception as he is the creator of its memorable characters.)
