Edward Scissorhands, selected by Richard Woods

Dir. Tim Burton, 1990, 1 hr 45 mins (PG)

A modern day fairy tale starring Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder and Vincent Price that tells the story of Edward, the man created by an inventor who died before finishing him and left Edward with scissors where he should have hands…

"One of the things I love about Tim Burton’s films is the way he mixes extreme fantasy and the everyday. Edward Scissorhands is a wonderful example of this. The panning shots of the hyper suburban backdrop root the film firmly in middle America and give the audience a belief system where the love story that follows remains as much "kitchen sink drama" as "comic fantasy"."
