I'm sure you had me in mind when creating this, right? Everybody on here knows I can't resist a Johnny Depp thread. And I can only pick 5? But he has so many good ones! I'll have to go with the mainstream ones, since they're what introduced me to the rest of his work, and they have the most unique characters:

1. Alice in Wonderland
Reasons: I love all of the characters (esp. Alice and the Mad Hatter) and the awesome CGI.

2. Edward Scissorhands
Reasons: I strongly identify with Edward (on top of finding him absolutely adorable), and I hold the belief that the story is an allegory for autism or other neurological disorders.

3. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Reasons: I love how creepy and socially awkward Willy Wonka is. He makes me laugh a lot. As with Alice, I love the visuals.

4. Pirates of the Caribbean
Reasons: I love the setting, clothing and music, and of course the characters (esp. Jack, Will and Elizabeth).

5. Sweeney Todd
Reasons: Basically the same reasons as PotC.

he hee, yep when i saw this thread i thought: "so where's idahorose?"

my top five, too lazy to type full titles or whatever right now.

fear and loathing
ed wood
pirates of the caribbean
benny and joon
either from hell or edward scissorhands

oh, how i could forget! The Astronaut's Wife, of course...gosh i'm sleepy. no seriously never watch that movie. it's painful to sit through.

Pirates of The Caribbean all three
Benny and Joon
Edward Scissor Hands

"Dead Man" is my fav.

The first three are among my favourite films ever, and it was too difficult to rank them, so they're all joint first. The last two are nowhere near as awesome, but they're still wonderful:

1. Dead Man
1. Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas
1. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
4. Sleepy Hollow
5. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

I've seen Benny&Joon, Edward Scissorhands, Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, All 3 Pirates of the carribean, & Alice in the Wonderland. Yes I'm seriousloy a Johnny Depp fan.

alright i need to see dead man again apparently. i liked it but maybe there's more to see the second time around.

I've been wanting to see Dead Man. Too bad iTunes doesn't carry it.

Fear and Loathing is a great movie. It even turned an ex-stoner friend of mine into a Johnny Depp fan! you_are_what_you_is, your avatar always reminds me of Dr. Gonzo for some reason.

Benny & Joon's a pretty cute movie, I like it.

Before seeing "Dead Man" it is good to know who William Blake is. Google him, the English poet , artist. The Doors did song using one of Blake's poems: the one the indian quoted in the movie. "Some are born to sweet delight. Some are born to endless night"
Neil Young's score is great too and he follows the movie well.
I find new details. philosophies, and motives throughout. I've grown to believe that this was how the west really was.

AND....it's black and white like me !

1: The Libertine
2: Pirate movies

First one is excellent acting and bringing a true story to life. Great filming too.

Second is bringing a fun character to life.
