I have always loved this one.
Tonight at 9 when my daughter went to sleep I put it on and she said "Johnny Depp............I love Johnny Depp!!!!" (I told her tomorrow I would go online and find pictures of him from 21 JUMP STREET. ROWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!)
We watched about 45 minutes and then I made her go to sleep. We'll watch the rest tomorrow.
Any other fans?
And, yes, I cry at the end.

Great movie, if not a sad movie. I wonder why the little girl at the beginning had such a ridiculously HUGE bed?

I liked Diane Weist in that one, especially how she's so nice and casual with Edward. His contrast with the bright world of the suburbs is nice. Plus, kudos for the new spin on the Frankenstein story. And Vincent Price, hurray!

I noticed that too...the bed was huge.,..but then again it was Tim Burton, and he likes to do weird stuff like that. I mean the whole neighborhood was pretty damn odd looking, right????
I'll go out on a limb and say that since the movie was about opposites like dark (Edward and the castle) and light (the whole sunny pastel colored town) he was trying to show the difference between how old the old lady was and how tiny the and young the little girl was (huge bed). But thats just a guess.
I did laugh when I saw the bed though. My whole family could fit in that thing!

Definitely oen of Burton's best. He does a great job cramming a load of emotion into the film. I enjoy Edward's adventures with the water bed.

My daughter is not letting me have the tape back! So it must be good, right?
I cryed my a** off.....again.
She got upset when Jim was beating Edward up...but she didn't actually cry. She was thrilled when Jim got killed. She called him a "B hole" (She's 6)

Ha, that's pretty funny. [Smile] Jim was such a jerk.

I thought it was hilarious when the lady making the moves on Edward walks over to hand him some lemonade and her dog is following her and barking, so she kicks him and all you hear is this whimper.

Kookie and fun film. I love the sets in this with the houses and cars all in the same colors and such. What I like about movies like this is that you really cannot tell what year they are supposed to be set in. Certain things make you think 60's, but then with certain technologies that you see you go no way!!

Excellent film with Burton, Depp and Ryder at the top of their game, a modern day fairy tale that works on a variety of levels.

What a great movie this is!! I love to watch it around Christmas time for some reason. My favorite part is when Winnona's mother brings him home and tucks him into to bed. She says something to the effect of I know everything is really confusing right now but it'll be okay. She then leaves the room and Edward looks over to the side and there is this creepy a$$ little clown doll laying next to him. His eyes and facial expression are priceless. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

yeah Cindy I remember, it was followed by the whole water bed debacle, this is a fantastic movie and Depp wrote a hilarious foreword to Tim Burton's biography about the first time they met to discuss the role, how Tim was a bleary eyed mess and how he (Depp) didn't think he had a chance in hell of getting the role (after his stint on '21 jump street'). Great stuff.

Depp and Ryder were engaged at the time, but alas, 'Winona Forever' was rathur cruelly (but appropriately?) trimmed down to 'Wino Forever' and that was that, I only recently discovered that Ryder's a blonde in real life, and dyes her hair for every movie besides this one.

it was around about the time of EDWARD SCISSORHANDS' release that I was crazy for Winona Ryder - I had a wall in my bedroom covered with posters and pages torn from my girlfriends' teen magazines of her. but man, that blonde wig she wore in ED SCI was just wrong!
