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 was a childhood fan of the same-titled gothic TV soap on which this 1970s-vibing film is based. But the director's passion failed to spark any fire in his languid 2012 vampire tale.
“What's missing overall is the sense of fun Burton once evinced in films like Beetlejuice.” —Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
