Given that it was the weakest box-office performer of their collaborations, I was surprised to see "Ed Wood" come in 2nd place. Had I voted, this would have been the movie I selected because I'm a sucker for movies about the movie industry (esp. if it's set in a previous time period). Also the fine acting throughout the movie and Tim Burton's attention to detail made this a winner in my eyes.
Another surprise was the showing of "Sweeney Todd" in the poll. Because it's the most recent of their teamings and it's box-office success, I thought that it would do a little better.
Thanks to all of you who participated!
Here are the final results:
Edward Scissorhands- 58%
Ed Wood- 13%
Sleepy Hollow- 10%
Charlie & the Chocolate Factory- 8%
Sweeney Todd and Tim Burton's the Corpse Bride- 4% each
Below is the trailer of Edward Scissorhands, followed by an interview with Johnny and Tim on "The Arsenio Hall Show".

Yeah! Love it!
I haven't seen any of them, but how can you not like the scissorshands guy! I think that's just an awesome costume!
Barbara: Is this the first time that your pick finished first in one of my polls?
Rock Chick: If you have The Fox Movie Channel, they show "Edward Scissorhands" on a regular basis. One of the reasons I like Johnny Depp is that he takes roles like Edward Scissorhands when he easily could have gone the pretty boy route and played only sex symbol-type characters.
Edward was such a wonderful movie, plus it had the most stunning music by Danny Elfman :)
Hey wonderfful overview of your JD/TB poll.
I love movies about movies too..in fact, that gives me a bit of an idea for a TT list. Maybe we should plan a mutual TT list of our top fave movies about movies for a couple weeks in the future without telling each other what we are using in our lists? I have my TT list for next week...so if you feel like doing this...in a couple weeks let me know...
