Edward Scissorhands
I am just about to watch Edward Scissorhands. It is one of my favourite films and tells us so much, I feel, about how people treat those who are different. It is also similar to Frankenstein, so a link to BC there.

Re: Edward Scissorhands
Great movie. Maybe Burton's finest film to date. There's a lot of Buster Keaton in Depp's performance and he showed even more Keatonesque moves a couple years later in "Benny & Joon". I love the way this movie has it all. Comedy, fantasy, silent film and tragedy. It makes you laugh and it makes you sad. I think Depp plays Edward so well that he really doesn't need much dialogue. His face and gestures say so much. My favorite scene is where Ed accidentally punctures the water bed with one of his scissors. So funny.

Re: Edward Scissorhands
That and when he is trying to eat the dinner! I love the hair cutting scene as well. jD recalls being violently sick after running up and down the street countless times in 'that suit' when they were filming. It's a real modern fairy tale.
