    Definitely Nightmare Before Christmas. 100%. I did, though, enjoy his alice interpretation.

    I like them all, to be honest.

    At least, the ones I've seen and I can't really name them all either.

    I for some reason like the musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. And I'm not one for musicals. The only musical in all my life I'd watched and liked before this one was the Lion King xD

    I have a lot because I LOVE Tim Burton. So my favorites are The Nightmare Before Christmas, Alice in Wonderland(2010), Corpse Bride, Beetlejuice, Edward Scissordhands, Big Fish, 9, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Sweeny Todd. In short films, I like Vincent and Frankenweenie. Personally, I don't think that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was one of his best movies but it was still really good. And whenever I say Beetlejuice, I have to say it two more times (like Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice) because that was one of the funniest things that they did in the movie and I secretly hope that Beetlejuice would come... :)

    Ah, Sleepy Hollow. Good times.

    My favorite is... Hard to decide. Edward Scissorhands was awesome, but so was The Nighmare Before Christmas. And you cannot forget Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I will leave up in the air for now, with... Oh, no, wait. I will flip a coin over it. If it is Heads, it is Edward Scissorhands; if it is Tails, it is The Nightmare Before Christmas.

    And there you have it. My favorite is The Nightmare Before Christmas.

    Either Batman, Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands or Sweeney Todd.

    Although I did put two things Tim did not make(create the original story) in my favorites I have to say he needs to start being original again. I am aware he is making Frankenweenie now but the remakes/re-imaginings suck, just don't get me started on Alice in Wonderland, I got such a big headache from watching all the unnecessary and bad CGI, I mean who seriously needs to make a CGI horse? just use a real goddamn horse. Narnia did ALOT more better on the talking animal deal, and that movie came out 5 years before this.

    Definitely The Nightmare Before Christmas. Though Edward Scissorhands is a close second.

    ^ I love that movie, but I' m afraid hearing "This is Halloween" over and over in four KH games was overkill, now hearing it gives me murder intents.
    My favourite Tim Burton movie is Beetlejuice, maybe because it' s the first Burton I' ve ever seen. Ah, nostalgia ! The special effects are totally outdated, but the music and story haven' t wrinkled one bit. Danny Elfman is a god by the way.

    Gonna have to go with Edward Scissorhands on this one. Close behind would be Bettlejuice and Nightmare Before Christmas. But, I haven't seen Sweeney Todd yet.

    What to say about Tim burton films...

    Starting off with Vincent back in 1982,
    It was narrated beautifully, and fit together like glue
    Moving on to Peewee, who's a kid who's way to old,
    His journey just to find a bike was never better told.
    Beetlejuice, what can I say? the name is in itself,
    even now, I see the DVD up on my shelf.
    Both of the batman movies were played out very well,
    Though I may like dark knight better, the films both still excel.
    Next is Edward Scissorhands, Johnny's first acting shtick,
    I'll bet you didn't know the King of Pop was Tim's first pick.
    The Nightmare Before Christmas, made the holidays so fine,
    The plot was funny, the end was thrilling, and I loved the set design.
    Sleepy hollow gave me chill's watching the horseman's diversions,
    Though I loved this film and thought it was great, I've never seen the Disney version.
    Corpse bride was very interesting, the characters were supple
    It teaches kids that even death can't break apart a couple.
    Sweeny todd, What a show! I give it total tops,
    You won't see a more gory film featuring a barbershop.
    And now I await Frankenweenie (It used to be a short)
    It's a classic retelling of Frankenstein that's creative in all sorts.


    I'm in a rhyming mood, so my hands typed this.

    After reading these posts I just found out I watch Tim Burton movies. Nightmare Before Christmas defiantly. Any movie they show to kids in the cafeteria during school at a catholic school definitely is the best.

    The Nightmare Before Christmas, often promoted as Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, is a 1993 American stop motion musical fantasy film directed by Henry Selick and produced/co-written by Tim Burton.
    I really wish they'd stop writing "TIM BURTON'S" across the top. It's not really his. It's partially his yes, but it's a collaborative effort. Henry Sellick who also directed "Coraline" did a lot of hard work on the film. also Michael McDowell and Danny Elfman deserve huge recognition.

    Anyway, I'd have to say "Beetlejuice" or the short film "Vincent".
