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.
This homage to cheesy 1950s sci-fi (and an early-'60s trading-card series) was one of Burton's biggest box office busts—earning back barely half of its reported $70 million budget domestically—though it remains a bit of a cult classic with fans.
“A movie like this should be a lot better, or a lot worse.” —Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
