Corpse Bride

Where to Stream: HBO Go

Released: 2005

Starring: Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Emily Watson, Tracey Ullman, Albert Finney, Richard E. Grant, Christopher Lee, and Deep Roy.

Corpse Bride might not fully rekindle then magic of The Nightmare Before Christmas, but it is a fun and charming movie none-the-less. Certainly, no one would include it on a "worst" list.

Big Fish

Where to Stream: HBO Go

Released: 2003

Starring: Ewan McGregor, Albert Finney, Billy Crudup, Jessica Lange, Marion Cotillard, Steve Buscemi, Helena Bonham Carter, Matthew McGrory, Alison Lohman, and Danny DeVito.

While Big Fish is often considered a "fantasy-dramedy", it is probably Burton's closest thing to a rom-com. While the basis of the film focuses more on a father and son attempting to mend their broken relationship, the narrative is very much more about the father's story of love.
