Collection of nine films directed by Tim Burton. In 'Pee-Wee's Big
Adventure' (1985) man-child Pee Wee Herman (Paul Reubens) loses his
bike and sets off on a cross-country adventure to locate it. Along the
way he encounters bikers, bums, convicts and a phantom trucker.
In 'Beetlejuice' (1988) Barbara and Adam Maitland (Geena Davis and Alec
Baldwin) are a happy couple who, when killed in a car crash, return as
ghosts to their beloved Connecticut home to wreak havoc on the ghastly
Deetz family who have moved in. Being novices at haunting, their
efforts go unnoticed by the house's new inhabitants, with the exception
of Goth daughter Lydia (Winona Ryder), who doesn't mind one bit. At
their wit's end, the ghostly couple call on a despicably disgusting
demon named Betelgeuse (MIchael Keaton) for help.
In 'Batman' (1989) the streets of Gotham City are no longer safe for
criminals, who are being picked off by a masked vigilante dubbed Batman
by the press. Reporter Alexander Knox (Robert Wuhl) teams up with
photographer Vicki Vale (Kim Basinger) in an attempt to discover
Batman's true identity - an investigation which leads them to the door
of mysterious millionaire Bruce Wayne (Keaton). Meanwhile, crime boss
Carl Grissom (Jack Palance)'s attempt to rid himself of untrustworthy
henchman Jack Napier (Jack Nicholson) does not go according to plan,
and after emerging physically and mentally disfigured from a vat of
chemicals, Napier reinvents himself as the psychotic clown prince of
crime known as The Joker and proceeds to terrorise Gotham.
In 'Batman Returns' (1992) 33 years after being abandoned as a baby,
Oswald Cobblepot (Danny DeVito) returns to Gotham City, bent on
revenge, as the Penguin. He begins a warped campaign to become mayor of
Gotham, helped by millionaire businessman Max Shreck (Christopher
Walken) and undertakes a mission to murder every firstborn son in the
city - a plan which will avenge his own beginnings. Meanwhile, Batman
emerges to stop him, but struggles with his dual identity after
becoming romantically involved with Shreck's former secretary Selina
Kyle (Michelle Pfeiffer), who takes up her own secret identity as
Catwoman to get revenge on Shreck.
In 'Mars Attacks!' (1996), when Martians arrive on planet Earth,
American President James Dale (Nicholson) is persuaded to extend the
hand of friendship. One of the President's advisers, Professor Donald
Kessler (Pierce Brosnan), has been studying the aliens, and is keen to
make peaceful contact. However, the Martians gleefully fry their
greeting party from Earth, and launch an all-out attack on the planet.
'Corpse Bride' (2005), set in a 19th century European village, follows
the story of Victor (voice of Johnny Depp), a young man who is whisked
away to the underworld and wed to a mysterious Corpse Bride (Helena
Bonham Carter), while his real bride, Victoria (Emily Watson), waits
bereft in the land of the living. Though life in the Land of the Dead
proves to be a lot more colourful than his strict Victorian upbringing,
Victor learns that there is nothing in this world, or the next, that
can keep him away from his one true love. 'Charlie and the Chocolate
Factory' (2005) centres around an eccentric chocolatier, Willy Wonka
(Depp), and Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore), a good-hearted boy from
a poor family who lives in the shadow of Wonka's extraordinary factory.
One day Wonka makes a momentous announcement. He will open his famous
factory and reveal 'all of its secrets and magic' to five lucky
children who find golden tickets hidden inside five randomly selected
Wonka chocolate bars. When Charlie finds some money on the snowy street
and takes it to the nearest store for a Wonka Whipple-Scrumptious
Fudgemallow Delight he finds a golden ticket.
The family decides that Grandpa Joe (David Kelly) should be the one to
accompany Charlie on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Once inside,
Charlie is dazzled by one amazing sight after another. 'Sweeney Todd -
The Demon Barber of Fleet Street' (2007) tells the tale of Benjamin
Barker (Depp), a barber who returns to London after spending years in
exile for a crime he didn't commit.
He soon discovers from pie-maker Mrs Lovett (Bonham Carter) that, in
his absence, his wife has taken her own life and his daughter is now in
the care of the man who had him sent away - the dastardly Judge Turpin
(Alan Rickman). Seeking revenge and filled with a murderous rage,
Barker sets up a barber's shop above Mrs Lovett's premises. Now calling
himself Sweeney Todd, Barker kills off all his customers with a razor
to the throat and sends their cadavers to the shop below to be used as
a tasty new filling for Mrs Lovett's meat pies.
What was once the worst pie shop in London quickly becomes one of the
city's most popular eateries, but Barker won't be satisfied until he
can lure Judge Turpin into the barber's chair... Finally, in 'Dark
Shadows' (2012), when playboy Barnabas Collins (Depp) breaks the heart
of the beautiful Angelique Brouchard (Eva Green), an old family curse
is released as Angelique, a witch, turns Barnabas into a vampire before
burying him alive. Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed
and emerges into the very changed world of 1972.
Returning to his former home at Collinwood Manor, he finds his estate
in ruins and the dysfunctional dregs of his family in tatters.
Matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Pfeiffer) has enlisted the
services of live-in psychiatrist Dr Julia Hoffman (Bonham Carter) to
help with her numerous family problems - but between Elizabeth's loser
brother, Roger Collins (Jonny Lee Miller), her rebellious teenage
daughter, Carolyn Stoddard (Chloë Grace Moretz), and Roger's precocious
ten-year-old son, David Collins (Gulliver McGrath), Dr Hoffman has
certainly got her work cut out.
