"Tim Burton is a master of the offbeat, a visionary director who finds the whimsical in the macabre. His movies usually put an endearing spin on horror tropes, like monsters, the undead, and freaks of all kinds. Not all of his projects are masterpieces, but his best movies - like 'Edward Scissorhands,' 'The Nightmare Before Christmas,' and 'Sweeney Todd' - have a distinctive aesthetic and charming gothic sensibility. Like most great directors, Burton is also an avid film fan. Over the years, he has spoken a lot about the movies that shaped him most. He has recommended a ton of films, many of which share his grim yet humorous style. Odds are, Burton's fans will find a few gems to enjoy among his recommendations." - collider.com
