Family adventure based on the novel by Roald Dahl. The film centres
around an eccentric chocolatier, Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp), and
Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore), a good-hearted boy from a poor
family who lives in the shadow of Wonka's extraordinary factory.
Most nights in the Bucket home, dinner is a watered-down bowl of
cabbage soup, which young Charlie gladly shares with his mother
(Helena Bonham Carter) and father (Noah Taylor) and both pairs of
grandparents. They all live in a tiny, tumbledown, drafty old house
but it is filled with love. Every night, the last thing Charlie
sees from his window is the great factory, and he drifts off to
sleep dreaming about what might be inside. For nearly fifteen
years, no one has seen a single worker going in or coming out of
the factory, or caught a glimpse of Willy Wonka himself, yet,
mysteriously, great quantities of chocolate are still being made
and shipped to shops all over the world. One day Willy 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.

When Martians arrive on planet Earth, American President James Dale
(Jack Nicholson) is persuaded to extend the hand of friendship. One
of the President's advisers, 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. Various
celebrity faces including Michael J. Fox, Danny DeVito and Martin
Short appear briefly before being zapped by the Martian baddies in
director Tim Burton's quirky spoof of alien invasion movies.
Box set containing four films from the popular 'Batman' film
series. 'Batman' (1989) was the first big screen outing for Bob
Kane's caped crusader. The streets of Gotham City are no longer
safe for criminals, who are being picked off by a masked vigilante
in a rubber suit - dubbed 'Batman' by the press. Reporter Alexander
Knox (Robert Wuhl) teams 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
millioniare Bruce Wayne (Michael Keaton). Meanwhile, crime boss
Carl Grissom's (Jack Palance) 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 Joker. In 'Batman Returns' (1992), Oswald Cobblepot was
abandoned by his parents as a baby. Thirty three years later, bent
on revenge, he returns to Gotham City as the Penguin (Danny
DeVito). First he begins a warped campaign to become Mayor, helped
by millionaire businessman Max Shreck (Christopher Walken); next,
he undertakes a mission to murder every first born son in Gotham -
a plan which will avenge his own beginnings. Meanwhile, he has two
adversaries to contend with: Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer), the
embittered ex-secretary of Max Shreck, and, of course, the old
caped crusader himself (Keaton). In 'Batman Forever' (1995), former
District Attorney Harvey Two-Face (Tommy Lee Jones) is terrorising
Gotham City, when a new villain appears on the scene - the Riddler
(Jim Carrey). Together they plot to discover Batman's (Val Kilmer)
identity, using a device which can probe the human mind. Meanwhile,
the caped crusader has been joined by Robin (Chris O'Donnell),
whose trapeze-artist family have recently been slain by Two-Face.
'Finally, in 'Batman and Robin' (1997), Batman (George Clooney) and
Robin (O'Donnell) have to stop the vengeful Mr Freeze (Arnold
Schwarzenegger) from taking over Gotham City by using his new ice
weapon. To make matters worse, the venomous Poison Ivy (Uma
Thurman) decides to join forces with Freeze, so making an almost
undefeatable double-whammy of a team. Luckily for the caped
crusader and his rebellious ward, they can team up with a new tough
and courageous new partner - Batgirl (Alicia Silverstone).

Animated adventure from popular director Tim Burton. Set in a 19th
century European village, the film follows the story of Victor
(voiced by 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.
Two film versions of Roald Dahl's classic children's novel
collected together in one set. In 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate
Factory' (1971), directed by Mel Stuart, young Charlie Bucket
(Peter Ostrum) wins one of the coveted 'Golden Tickets' from a
Wonka Bar that allows its holder to take a trip around the
eccentric Willy Wonka's (Gene Wilder) Chocolate Factory. Charlie
and the rest of the winners find themselves in a magical world of
chocolate rivers, Oompa Loompas, everlasting gobstoppers, lickable
wall-paper, golden egg-laying geese and chilling tales to warn
children not to misbehave. Roald Dahl wrote the screenplay from his
own book. In Tim Burton's expansive remake, 'Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory' (2005), Freddie Highmore plays Charlie, whilst
Johnny Depp takes on the role of Wonka.
Twenty-three illustrated gothic tales from the dark corridors of
the imagination of Tim Burton. Burton - the creative genius behind
Batman, Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow and Nightmare Before
Christmas, among others - now gives birth to a cast of gruesomely
sympathetic children: misunderstood outcasts who struggle to find
love and belonging in their cruel, cruel worlds. His lovingly lurid
illustrations evoke both the sweetness and tragedy of these
hopeful, yet hapless beings.

Tim Burton directs this biographical drama starring Christoph Waltz
and Amy Adams. The film follows the story of American artist
Margaret Keane (Adams), who, in the 1960s, allowed her husband
Walter (Waltz) to claim credit for her artwork, believing that a
female artist could not find success through painting. The Keanes
acquired huge amounts of wealth through Margaret's work and the
paintings were in high demand throughout their time living together
as husband and wife. However, when they later became separated,
Margaret announced to the world that she was in fact the true
author of the paintings, sparking a long-drawn-out legal battle
between her and her estranged husband... Adams won a Golden Globe
Award for her performance.

Tim Burton directs this fantasy drama-horror based on the cult
1960s television series. When playboy Barnabas Collins (Johnny
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 (Michelle Pfeiffer) has enlisted the services of
live-in psychiatrist Dr Julia Hoffman (Helena 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 (Chloe Moretz), and Roger's
precocious 10-year-old son, David Collins (Gulliver McGrath), Dr
Hoffman has certainly got her work cut out.
