I just love Lester Burham in Beauty, Kevin acted the part to perfection. Its a powerfull film with some strong messages but at the same time it has some hilarious scenes that just get funnier every time you see it. Some people like to get wasted and watch Cheech and Chong movies, I'd rather get stoned off my face and join Lester!
Burton isn't in the same league as Gilliam. Burtons seriously overrated, his kiddie goth tones got annoying pretty fast. He basically makes the same film over and over. The Imaginarium Of Dr Parnassus is a brilliant film. Burton could never make a movie like that or Brazil in a million years.
Sean's Inferno said:To actually answer the topic's question well ... actually I can't! I can never say what my single favourite anything is, as it tends to change.
A few films which are always in my top 10 though:
Once Upon A Time In America (which I think probably is the best film ever made)
Pulp Fiction
Dead Man
Angel Heart
The Big Lebowski
Taxi Driver
The Holy Mountain or El Topo - can't decide
Mulholland Drive
and recently, The Imaginarium Of Dr Parnassus has been creeping up my list - it really is a great fantasy film. I've always said that Terry Gilliam is just like a better version of Tim Burton.
P.S. Psychoscot, my godfather works closely with Kevin Spacey at the Old Vic, so I've had the good fortune of meeting him a few times. He told me that he dislikes virtually every film he's done with the exception of American Beauty and The Usual Suspects - although I think he may have been neglecting Se7en!

Visitor Q is an awesome movie, I have a lot of Takashi Miike's movies on dvd, was nice to see him get a cameo in Hostel but then Roth did nick a hell of a lot of ideas off him lol
Sean's Inferno said:Agreed, American Beauty is a great film - the only problem I have with it is that it's a bit derivative (basically a modernised Death Of A Salesman with bits borrowed from Lolita etc.), but I think that was most likely intentional. If you liked that, you should check out Takashi Miike's Visitor Q, which is basically like an extreme, more disturbing version of American Beauty - with some shocking, yet really darkly humourous scenes!
100% agreed about Tim Burton. He really is a one-trick pony. It's really a shame that The Imaginarium Of Dr. Parnassus got such limited attention, whereas Burton's vastly inferior Alice In Wonderland was so huge.
I just watched Tideland yesterday - that's an extremely disturbing film! I found it very hard to watch, and I'm still not sure if I like it or not. But that was essentially a "real-world" Alice In Wonderland story - and I actually think Burton copied his "falling down the rabbit-hole" sequence from it, as it looks almost identical to a similar sequence in Tideland.

Have to agree, too many to list ... if the actors are convincing, cinematography, editing all good plus a reasonably thought out story ... then it's money well spent.
Will check out some of the one's list above that I haven't seen.
