The visual distinctive dark style of the many movies of Tim Burton is inspiring, engrossing and memorable to experience. Often directing dramatic horrors with a little bit of black comedy here and there, he continues to be noticable from other directors.
Beetlejuice is a great example of how twisted the world of Burton can be, as that picture delved into themes of visual madness, nightmares, a blend between natural and supernatural, cheesy but effective humor and those bizarre settings, man!
Batman and Batman Returns have great looking Gotham Cities oozing with atmosphere and the feeling that crime can be found on every street. Combined with the darker, more serious tone of the movies, they remain classic next to Nolan's trilogy.
Edward Scissorhands is a magical but tragic tale about the misunderstood titular character of blending into normal society. With a pleasant romantic development inbetween, this is another story with powerful imagery.
But perhaps one of the most unique films directed by Tim Burton remains The Nightmare Before Christmas, a stop motion musical fantasy flick which is majorily themed with Halloween. The sheer amount of immersion to be found here is remarkable.
Sleepy Hollow is perhaps the last qualified "darkish" style of Burton before directing in my opinion lesser titles such as Corpse Bride, Sweeney Todd and Dark Shadows. There is no question about it that Burton's movies can be easily recognized, aside from the usual casting of Johnny Depp.
