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.
Fun fact: Tim Burton has never been nominated for the best director Oscar. If the buzz on this 2003 mashup of fantasy and family drama had held up, maybe that wouldn't be so. But mixed reviews and middling box office sunk Big Fish.
“Simultaneously beguiling and frustrating—the product of an imagist and dramatist uncomfortably conjoined.” —Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
