How about some love for Edward Scissorhands?

[The Shape]

I know feelings on this film may be mixed here, but I just caught the ending on TV, and it reminded me of how much I love it.

To me, it's a haunting masterpiece, and it's tragically beautiful, with moments of comic relief. I see it as Tim Burton at his best, filled with great performances by the cast.

It hit me hard when I first saw it, and even just the ending hit me today.

What do you guys think about it? or :

How about some love for John Carpenter's "Starman"? Jeff Bridges is amazing in the film.

But yes, I love Edward Scissorhands. It's one of those films that has it all in terms of a little suspense, a little comedy, romance, and a bittersweet ending that you hope would turn out differently.

I remember seeing the ending as a kid and I cried like a little baby, it made me really sad to see Edward spend the rest of his life alone in the castle. In someway I was hoping Kim would've gone back to see him too.

Clearly one of Burton's best films.

Was Depp ever nominated for his performance?

I cried when I fist saw it as well, but I wasn't a kid. It was just so powerful. I mean, even though the story was unrealistic, it felt so real in the end.

And no, I don't think Depp was nominated. He was great, though.

I think there's already enough love for Edward Scissorhands. Not that he doesn't deserve it though.

 

["Iron Man"]

ES is one of the best films of the 90s', and particuarly the best Depp/Burton film.

I loved every minute of it.

 

[The Shape]

Vincent Price's death scene was pretty sad. Especially now, knowing that he died soon after he competed his role.

Edward was so close to being finished. That makes it all the more tragic.

 

[Bat Attack]

I love Edward Scissorhands so much. Danny Elfman's score is great too.

YES. I personally think it's probably one of his best, if not THE best.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

It's a fantsic movie!

 

[Cinemaman]

Great, beautiful and amazing movie

 

[U.S War Machine]

A man with scissors for hands certaintly has issues.

 

[boydston_14]

Edward Scissorhands is amazing, one of my favorite films of all time.

 

[The Shape]

Hmm....so far everyone seems to have the same feelings about it. That's cool.

I don't think the story was that unrealistic, but it definitely had a sense of reality that really created a powerful message.

To me it's one of those type of films that has a fairy tale quality about it.

Edward- Goodbye.

I swear when he says goodbye it gets me everytime.

 

[The Chairman]

I was watching some of it today, brilliant movie.

 

[jaydawg]

One of the few Burton movies I like. Hell, ES is the ****.

[Shuley]

Sleepy Hollow was better.
