i sorry but TIM BURTON SUCKS
HE STEAL OTHER PEOPLE WORKS LIKE HENRY SELICK!
Top 10 james earl jones moments
Edward Scissorhands is the most relatable. A misunderstood soul looking for a place to belong. 🎉
Tim Burton made me love movies. Creative, quirky, over the top, camp but always with a heart. And always on the side of outcasts. The nerds, the goths, the homeless, the dead, they all are the normal ones in his movies. And for someone who never feels that he belongs anywhere it is so nice knowing we have a place where we belong❤
Jack Skellington is iconic 💀💀💀
HE IS THE PUMPKIN KING!
🥉
How DARE THEY DO THIS TO HIM?!?!
Felt like he should have been #1
He could have been number one, but then where would Beetlejuice have gone? You’re not suggesting that Beetlejuice be lower than #1 are you?!
I saw Beetlejuice Beetlejuice opening day, and it was an absolute blast. Michael Keaton did not lose his touch as the trickster demon whatsoever
Same. Our local cinema had a costume competition, and my group won, so we got free tickets. It was great!
I love Beetlejuice Beetlejuice too
@@RavenousMaw that is awesome
@@sarahmcmann5253 It was fabulous
I did as well and it was great. I understand why some may not like it but I thought it was amazing and I loved that we got more Beetlejuice in the sequel.
I love this so much! I’m a huge Tim Burton nerd so this is right up my alley! My favorite characters are Jack Skellington, Edward Scissorhands, Emily, and of course Beetlejuice haha
Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorshands, & Jack Skellington are his most beloved characters.
Sooooo true
As well as the most iconic.
“Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice!”
ITS SHOWTIME!
Truthfully watching Sweeney Todd, he is not just revengeful, he is also misunderstood. I mean you have to feel for him. His whole life was taken away and he was lied to about his wife by Mrs. Lovett
Jack Nicholson did a great job playing the Joker in 1989’s ‘Batman’, one of my top 5 most favorite live action DC movies of all time.
James Earl Jones (the legendary actor behind Darth Vader and Mufasa) has passed away today at age 93.
RIP to a legend
May he rest in peace… 😢😔
RIP Darth Vader
I’m going to miss him 😢
May he rest in peace 😢💔
Burton has his selection of favorite actors and actresses, and i love that selection 😂❤
Tim Burton gave us the greatest version of Batman of all time. That's why I love rewatching Him,The Joker,The Penguin and Catwoman in both Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992). so much fun those movies are.
Yep. Mr. Burton made the Batman movies suitably dark. Batman' s an iron woobie if there ever was one.😢😊
The nightmare before Christmas is one of my favorite
I grew up watching both ‘Batman’ & ‘Batman Returns.’
🖤💛
Batman 1989 and Batman Returns and The Dark Knight(2008) are THE BEST!
It was a great to see actress Winona Ryder play Lydia Deetz (from teen to fully grown woman turned single mom) again in the 2024 sequel.
😁
Deetz, not Beetz, sugar.😅
@@ChibiProwl
Oh, my bad.
😅
Awkward.
😅
Why am I not surprised that Beetlejuice made number 1 on this list, Although it feels kinda fitting both because he's one of Tim Burton's most iconic characters and it's a good way to celebrate the release of the sequel.
Sooooo true
@@chasehedges6775 And to think, It took 36 years for the sequel to be made. lol
But, It was still a real treat to see Michael Keaton reprise the role of Beetlejuice. And even after all these years he hasn't lost it.
He made the list
Cat Woman will always be my number one! 🖤
Edward Scissorhands and Sleepy Hollow are my favorite Johnny Depp movies.
Sleepy Hollow is GOLD!
@@Samuel.Goodheart Edward scissor hands is fantastic . When it comes to it , it's been ages since I last seen it.
🎖
@@BlackHatCinephile nice
"From Hell" (about Jack the Ripper) sh!ts on both of them films 😂
Bruce Wayne/Batman from DC’s Earth-89.
Played by Michael Keaton.
Beetlejuice from the ‘Beetlejuice’ film franchise.
Played by Michael Keaton.
Michael Keaton nailed both those characters to perfection. 👍👍💯
Should’ve named this list Johnny Depp ft Tim Burton😂
Edward Scissorhands at #2?!! Outrageous!
At least he’s at # 2
Beetlejuice, Jack Skellington, Edward Scissorhands and Batman for me all the way 🙌🏻
My favourite, well Bruce Wayne/ Batman, then The Joker, Edward Scissorhands, The Penguin, Catwoman, Beetlejuice, Edward Bloom, Lydia Deetz, Willy Wonka, Victor Van Dort, Emily Van Dort, Ichabod Crane, The Headless Horseman, Jack Skellington and Sally.
Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter are iconic actors in tim burton films.
She is married to Tim!
@@marialemos1495 Tim Burton?
@@marialemos1495She was
You can always count on Jack Skellington to give a good fright, so he may have some heavy competiton with Beetlejuice.
19:37 At least he only said it twice
Jack Skellington for me!
Troll
@@ReallyJamesMurphy don't you mean yourself
Beetlejuice is hilarious 😂
@@ReynaReactsandReviews I argree and what do you think of the new one?
@@Reaperguy67 haven’t seen it yet
@Reaperguy67 Have you watched new one? I am planning to watch it on weekend
@@Samuel.Goodheart no I haven't. I just haven't had a chance because of being busy with work and other projects.
@@ReynaReactsandReviews got you. Thanks for the heads up.
All of them, fab list!

@@kamsismith Stop Trolling Me Please and Don't deny It either you're Trolling me I've seen this before with some TH-camrs I'm no TH-camr but I can write any comment I want and you can't stop me so leave me alone and Buzz off
@@Jamal-bl7yh : I think the point @kamsismith was trying to make is that no one on your list is a Tim Burton character. Of course, you are completely allowed to have your own list of favorites, just as everyone else does, but this video was favorite Tim Burton characters, not those from other franchises.
I’m kinda sad Pee-Wee Herman played by the late great Paul Rubens rip 🙏didn’t even get an honorable mention on here! He was the first iconic most loved Tim Burton character and this list honestly feels incomplete without him.
Beetlejuice has always been my favorite! His vision of Batman is the best in my opinion, and Jack skellington is a fantastic character! Cheers Tim! Thank you!
Great list. I love Jack Nicholson's Joker because of how underrated he has become, compared to Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix's performance.
Top 4 were easy to guess, but I’d have put Batman at 1 and Skellington at 2.
And you really expect me to think that anyone from PotA is better than Oogie Boogie?!?!?!
Micheal Keaton (And Burton) did a great job conveying the truth about Batman, that he is a vigilante pretending to be a billionaire. "Bruce" has always seen himself as Batman first.
I had a good Feeling Beetlejuice would be number 1
Love Lydia
Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. BEETLEJUICE!
(Maniacal Laughter)
It’s Showtime!
Dear Watchmojo. Could you please make a Top 30 roles of James Earl Jones to honor his memory? 😢
RIP James Earl Jones.
Excellent list WatchMojo! Very enjoyable. I vote for Jack Skellington as my favorite character. Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas is a masterpiece! I love how Disney has embraced it as a great film that covers TWO holidays. I also love all the Nightmare merchandise you can get. Shut up and take my money! 🙂🙃🙂🙃
All hail the Pumpkin King!
Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorshands.
Michael Keaton and Johnny Depp are LEGENDS!

@@BlackHatCinephile 💯
@@chasehedges6775black hat is a bully. He has accused others of being someone else and he has bullied people by calling them mentally handicapped or low IQ.
@@BlackHatCinephile pointless spam
Seriously! Catwoman should be WAY higher! Michelle is the most iconic!
Catwoman should be #1. Although Burton didn't invent Catwoman, he did invent this iconic version of the character.
Tim Burton has his favorite actor - Johnny Depp starred in most of his films
And this ignores all the wonderful and zany characters in Tim Burton's reimagining of "Alice in Wonderland", with Alice returning to Wonderland as a young adult and defeating the Jabberwock and the Red Queen?
big fan of tim burton's batman
While he isn't the most relatable, my all time favorite Tim Burton characters would have to Beetlejuice, Jack Skelington, and Willie Wonka! Beetlejuice is hilarious(same goes for Willie) and Jack is charisma incarnate!
I love ur videos the amazing ❤❤❤❤❤
Hey since Halloween is coming you should do one about Beetlejuice vs Jack Skellington.
Love all Tim Burton characters ❤
1:35 I just watched sleepy Hollow the other night it was so good it’s a good Halloween movie
Definitely one of my favorites of his
Jack Nicholson as the Joker was the closest to the Joker's origin story, and he did a good job (much better than I had thought he'd be, btw), and had him looking more like he looked in the comics with his white skin, green hair and blood-red lips.. Heath Ledger also did a good job, personality-wise, but the makeup was not canon to the original story.
Martin Landau, as Bela Lugosi, captured the man that I'd read about in his biographies, and the struggles (shall we say) he went through after his star faded.
In their own ways, each character was well done and were shown to be who or what Tim Burton meant them to be, along with the actors who performed or voiced them..
You should do most beloved Steven Spielberg character too and this is going to be awesome.
I'm glad to see Michael Keaton's Batman at #4, but Danny Devito's Penguin ranked above Jack Nicholson's Joker? Really?
So Victor and Emily finally become animatronics at Spirit halloween, yet is at 20 (least memorable) position on this list? 💀
I registered first name "Jack" and saw Jack Palance at 8:25 and briefly expected some unlikely insight on why Boss Grissom is compelling enough to make this list. 😂
This is an odd take but I liked Estella Warren as Daena in Planet Of The Apes(2001). She definitely deserved better as an actress and character and was very attractive.
You mean Johnny depp? The answer is Johnny Depp. 1-10 is all Depp.
He's a GOAT
You are correct, of course, but it says CHARACTER, not actor.
@@carlozabbia1157 : If you'll notice, Johhny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter (Tim's wife) are in many Tim Burton live-action movies and projects.
This video is chefs kiss.❤
Edward Scissorhands. That's who I relate to the most. Next is Batman. And Ichabod Crane
My Top five Tim Burton movies
Batman
Batman Returns
Alice in Wonderland
Beatlejuice
Edward Scissorhands
Tim Burton Batman is my favorite 🖤
Ed Wood is my favorite character in my favorite Tim Burton movie.
TOP 10 Wayne Knight Roles
Big Fish is the best Tim Burton films. ❤❤❤❤❤
Edward is by far my favourite.
My faves on this list are
1.Jack Skellington and Sally
2.Beetlejuice and Lydia
3.Victor Van Dort and Emily
4.Sparky
Also I went and saw "Beetlejuice,Beetlejuice" and I loved it as good as the original.
Sally,Lydia, and Emily would be total besties!!!❤ Jack could learn to play piano from Victor and Beetlejuice can learn from Jack and Vic!
Glad Depp’s Wonka got the respect he deserves
Top 10 roles of James Earl Jones
James Earl Jones was primarily a theatre actor, I've seen it suggested that in his prime he was the worlds greatest stage actor. I saw him at the theatre in 1978 and could well believe it. He was a good film actor
Definitely agree with the top three, but I think the order should be 1: Jack, 2: Beetlejuice, 3: Edward. Find me another movie with more merch out there than the Nightmare Before Christmas. I know that's not everything, but he's just easily one of the most recognizable and beloved characters.
I am a fan of every Tim Burton film except for Dark Shadows, which is sad because up until then i had especially loved the Tim Burton / Johnny Depp
collaborations
Hello good afternoon ❤❤❤
Edward Scissorhands will always be my favorite. Beetlejuice is fantastic too.
Fun fact: Today is the 35th anniversary of the Beetlejuice cartoon.
Beetlejuice
Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are a perfect match
"JUST SAY IT ONCE MORE! COME ON," said Beetlejuice in excitement after the girl spoke his name twice.
What's really funny is that I never remembered the title character of Edward Scissorhands actually speaking. I always remembered him as a mute character (quite erroneously, if the clips have anything to say about it).
Sally & JN’s Joker
would be in my top 10 high on my list. Great characters
My most loved Tim Burton characters are:
1. Beetle juice
2. Jack Skellington
3. Edward Bloom
4. Edward Scissorhands
5. Catwoman
I knew Beetlejuice would be number one on this list and I'm glad because Beetlejuice is my favorite Tim Burton character
Beetleguese beetleguese yes say it no yes no just say ittttt ok beetleguese
Tim Burton managed to create the darkest version of Penguin in the world in my opinion.
Edward is literally unhateable.
Favorite movie growing up
This Horror In funny Comedy Vallians the Perfect!😊
Obviously these lists are opinion based but Sparky surely deserved to be much higher on the list.
No. 1:
Beetlejuice, "Beetlejuice"
Hey, watch it narrator! One more time and you'll regret it.
I grew up watching both Tim Burton’s Batman movies.
I love how half these characters are played by Johnny Depp but there’s only one Helena Bonham Carter character. Also, Michael Keaton should work with Burton a lot more.
Edward Scissorhands 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I wish Tim Burton would bring back his Masterpiece Hansel and Gretal and release it on 4K and onto Disney+
So much Johnny Depp. I love it.
Emily top 5 but Sally the ragdoll 13? Sally should have been top 10
Joker DOES steal every scene from Batman. He practically dominates the movie’s screen time.
