From my understanding, he didn't direct it or anything like that, it was just "sold" as a Tim Burton film. So if were including it, I'm a sucker for Nightmare Before Christmas. I always have been
He wrote the story for it as well as produced it.
Ed Wood (1994) is my favorite, and it's probably his most slept-on Depp collaboration. It's a brilliant film about a terrible filmmaker. Depp and the rest of the cast are excellent but I think Martin Landau's performance as Bela Lugosi stands out. He does a remarkable job of playing a (past his prime) icon of the golden age of monster movies.
Beyond that, in no particular order, I'm a big fan of: Big Fish, Edward Scissorhands, Mars Attacks!, Beetlejuice, and of course, Batman + Returns.
Batman (1989), Batman Returns, and The Nightmare Before Christmas
Beetlejuice
Edward scissor hands
Basically any pre-cgi puke fest.
I like most of his movies.
Sleepy Hollow, and Big Fish might be my faves. I've watchd them both several times. Sleepy Hollow is my annual Halloween movie.
Big Fish was one of the first movies I watched when I started really paying attention to what I was watching. And to this day it remains one of my favourites. Sleepy Hollow doesn't get enough love either. Stellar cast.
Mars Attacks. Hands down.
Can't believe nobody else mentioned it.
Beetlejuice and Big Fish. Big Fish is low key one of his best works that for some reason doesn't seem to be remembered much.
