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.
Burton did not direct the stop-motion film he's most associated with, The Nightmare Before Christmas. That leaves this sublime Oscar-nominated effort, co-directed with Mike Johnson, as the pinnacle of his work in this form.
“Will be hailed for its macabre imagination and inventive farce. But it also elegantly renders an archetypal teenage tale.” —Michael Sragow, Baltimore Sun
