In the 1980s, a young, aspiring director named Tim Burton got his start in the storied animation department at Disney, and the filmmaking world has been changed for the better ever since. After making a series of short films and directing Paul Reubens' Pee-wee's Big Adventure, Burton burst onto the scene with Beetlejuice, and from then on, he made his mark in film by creating otherworldly universes, unforgettable characters, and fantastical elements, cementing himself as a completely unique and visionary filmmaker.
Burton has had plenty of huge hits that have become classic films and defined generations, but as with any filmmaker, he's also had some misses. Putting aside The Nightmare Before Christmas -- which, despite popular opinion, he only produced -- his filmography has plenty of highlights, but there are some dark spots in there as well. All daring directors like Burton are bound to flounder from time to time, and throughout his incredible career, he's successfully balanced his flops with his successes. From vampire flicks and lackluster remakes to biopics and modern-day fairy tales, we've ranked Tim Burton's films from worst to best.
