No. 21- Edward Scissorhands







Film: Edward Scissorhands

Starring: Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder

Directed by: Tim Burton

Released: 1990


I first saw this movie...
Circa 1990, in theater

Why I love it...
It's romantic, it's funny, it's artsy. Johnny Depp gets a lot of talk of how great of an actor he is and how diverse his characters are, blah blah blah. Yeah, he's great but where he reaches that level of epicness is this film. He brings Edward such a subtlety and tenderness, you're instantly drawn in. And definitely the most under-rated character of any movie would go to Peg, the mother figure of the movie. She's so heart-warming and incredibly funny. She perfects the film.
It's Tim Burton's masterpiece, classic Burton through and through.
