Pee-wee’s Big Adventure
Tim Burton's feature debut took the quirky TV character Pee-wee Herman and gave him a surreal road trip adventure. Filled with absurd humour, oddball characters, and dreamlike visuals, the film hinted at the fantastical worlds Burton would soon master.

Beetlejuice
This supernatural comedy by Tim Burton follows a recently deceased couple who hire the mischievous “bio-exorcist” Beetlejuice to scare away their home’s new inhabitants. Michael Keaton’s wild performance, combined with Burton’s offbeat visuals, made this a cult classic.

Batman
Long before superhero movies dominated box offices, Burton’s Batman brought a brooding, art deco Gotham to life. Michael Keaton’s Batman and Jack Nicholson’s unforgettable Joker redefined comic book adaptations for a generation.

Edward Scissorhands
A lonely, gentle man with scissors for hands (Johnny Depp) becomes an unlikely suburban celebrity. With its pastel suburbia, Gothic mansion, and tender romance, this remains one of Burton’s most personal and poetic works.

The Nightmare Before Christmas
While directed by Henry Selick, this stop-motion masterpiece sprang from Tim Burton's imagination. The tale of Jack Skellington discovering Christmas is both spooky and heartwarming, with music and visuals that have earned year-round devotion.

Sleepy Hollow
Tim Burton's take on Washington Irving’s legend turns the Headless Horseman story into a fog-drenched murder mystery. With Johnny Depp as Ichabod Crane and stunning period visuals, it’s a lush homage to classic horror films.

Big Fish
A heartfelt departure from Burton’s usual darkness, this whimsical drama follows a son piecing together his father’s life through magical stories. It’s both visually enchanting and emotionally resonant, showing Burton’s softer side.

Corpse Bride
Returning to stop-motion, Tim Burton delivers a bittersweet romance between a shy groom and a ghostly bride. Its haunting visuals and Danny Elfman’s music create a delicate blend of macabre charm and melancholy beauty.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Adapted from the Stephen Sondheim musical, this grisly tale of revenge stars Johnny Depp as a murderous barber and Helena Bonham Carter as his pie-making partner. Equal parts horror, tragedy, and musical theatre spectacle.

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children
A young boy discovers a hidden world where children possess extraordinary abilities, protected by the enigmatic Miss Peregrine (Eva Green). Burton’s flair for the unusual shines in this mix of fantasy, mystery, and mild horror.
