Edward Scissorhands is probably one of my top-five fartoive films of all time. If not top five, certainly top ten. I'm also a big fan of Batman and Beetlejuice. My affinity for those films probably has something to do with seeing them at such a young age. Batman Returns is one of the first movies I can remember seeing in the theater. (TMNT: Secret of the Ooze being the very first. Go ninja, go ninja, go! ) I like Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, but Burton's version of the caped crusader is still my fartoive. Beetlejuice established my first impression of the afterlife. During most of my childhood I thought that when I die I'd be unable to leave my house for fear of being eaten by a giant sandworm. And Winona Ryder in that movie, OMG. I think her character is the reason I've always had a thing for gothic chicks. Edward Scissorhands is just so fantastic, though. I don't see how anyone can NOT like that movie, although apparently some people do, judging by the comments. That film still breaks my heart to this day.
