For Halloween video editor Kees Van Dijkhuizen[see past posts] has created a montage showcasing the films of Tim Burton. As he puts it:
Tim Burton is one of those filmmakers who tells stories unlike anyone else. Whether it’s about an alien invasion, the worst director of all time or a bride risen from the dead, Burton’s films are filled with unique and iconic characters and visuals that make his films unforgettable.

Danny Elfman has made some of the finest movie scores of all time, and most of the time it comes with collaborating with Tim Burton.

And since Tim Burton is into remakes these days, I am sure he is game.
The year was 1994. Kevin Smith took Sundance and Cannes by storm with his low budget and highly intellectual comedy Clerks. Miramax took on the film and it was smooth sailing from there. Awards and praise for the film and filmmaker with future rankings such as “number 34 on Bravo’s 100 Funniest Movies” [list]. It has since spawned comics, toys, a sequel and millions of fanboys for Kevin Smith.
