Yup. What was his last good movie, Ed Wood? Sleepy Hollow, Planet of the Apes, Charlie & the Chocolate Factory...all insanely CRAPola.

Everything up to including Ed Wood is phenomenally NOT CRAP.

Wait, was Mars Attacks! before or after EW? That movie is just barely NC for the camp value. Barely.

Ed Wood is fantastic.

The original Charlie seems so sacred to so many (another thread covered this), but not to me & I really liked Burton's version. Sleepy Hollow was just okay -- Planet of the Apes -- didn't see it, heard too much bad about it.

The first Pee-wee movie is great.

I have a bit of a soft spot for him because of Batman, Edward Scissorhands and Beetle Juice, all of which I loved as a kid, but Big Fish was a good one too.

Ed Wood's probably his best. So many damned quotable lines...

Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Why if I had half a chance, I could make an entire movie using this stock footage. The story opens on these mysterious explosions. Nobody knows what's causing them, but it's upsetting all the buffalo. So, the military are called in to solve the mystery.

Editor on Studio Lot: You forgot the octopus.

Edward D. Wood, Jr.: No, no, I'm saving that for my big underwater climax.



Georgie Weiss: So, what was the important news you couldn't tell me on the phone, again?

Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Well, I started thinking about what you were saying about how your movies need to make a profit. Now, what is the one thing, if you put it in a movie, it'll be successful?

Georgie Weiss: Tits.

Edward D. Wood, Jr.: No, better than that. A star.

Georgie Weiss: you must have me confused with David Selznick. I don't make major motion pictures; I make crap.

Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Yes, but if you take that crap and put a star in it, then you've got something.

Georgie Weiss: Yeah. Crap with a star.
