Every Tim Burton Movie, Ranked
If you didn't know Tim Burton's new movie Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children was based on a best-selling novel, you may have guessed it was written just for this director. Burton has made a career of celebrating outsiders, of both the living and undead varieties, in live-action and animated form.
In honor of Burton's 18th feature as a director, let's look back at his previous 17 efforts, which are ranked by Metascores from (relative) worst to (arguable) best.
Yes, it's shocking to see Burton's beloved 1985 debut rate as his "worst" film. But in its day, the Dadaist comedy was polarizing. Critic Gene Siskel, for one, found nothing about it funny—"absolutely nothing."
