Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Where to Stream: Netflix
Released: 2007
Starring: Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, Timothy Spall, and Sacha Baron Cohen.
Ultra-violent and probably Burton's darkest film to date, Sweeney Todd is not for the faint of heart or mere casual Burton fan, due to it's body count and volumes of blood.
Edward Scissorhands
Where to Stream: hulu
Released: 1990
Starring: Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, Dianne Wiest, Anthony Michael Hall, Kathy Baker, Vincent Price, and Alan Arkin.
Maybe the most classic and beloved Burton film of all-time, this is one that is easily filed in the "can't miss" folder.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Where to Stream: hulu
Released: 2005
Starring: Johnny Depp, Freddie Highmore, David Kelly, Helena Bonham Carter, Noah Taylor, Missi Pyle, James Fox, Deep Roy, Christopher Lee, and AnnaSophia Robb.
While many consider this film a remake of the iconic Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is actually more of a new adaptation based Roald Dahl's 1964 novel of the same name.
Alice in Wonderland
Where to Stream: Hulu + Starz add-on
Released: 2010
Starring: Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter, Crispin Glover, Matt Lucas, and Mia Wasikowska, and featuring the voices of Alan Rickman, Stephen Fry, Michael Sheen, and Timothy Spall.
Another one of Burton's remakes, Alice in Wonderland offers a lot for fans of the filmmaker's unique style and talent for whimsical visuals.
Sleepy Hollow
Where to Stream: Hulu + Live TV
Released: 1999
Starring: Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci, Miranda Richardson, Michael Gambon, Casper Van Dien, and Jeffrey Jones.
While not often considered one of the top-tier films in Burton's repertoire, Sleepy Hollow still maintains a respectable 68 percent Fresh critics score, and an 80 percent Fresh audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
Where to Stream: Hulu + Live TV
Released: 2016
Starring: Eva Green, Asa Butterfield, Chris O'Dowd, Allison Janney, Rupert Everett, Terence Stamp, Ella Purnell, Judi Dench, and Samuel L. Jackson.
Based on the fantasy YA novel of the same title, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children was a moderately successful film for Burton, earning nearly $300 million on a budget of just over $100 million.
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.
