I mean it is the role that cemented his fame & leading man stature…..

The right** list should be… (in no particular order)

Edward Scissorhands
Ed Wood
Pirates of the Carribean #1
Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas
Finding Neverland OR What's Eating Gilbert Grape

He sounds amazing and he captures the character so well. It's a joy to watch him slitting throats lol.

wow, what's the rush? This movie is still filming and you know how it's going to turn out?

hey, I hear the movie he is doing after that — the one he hasn't even signed on yet! – will "cement" his status even more!!

I would have fit Edward Scissorhands in there somewhere, but I can understand your desire to only include one Depp/Burton performance. Either way, I'm glad that you included Dead Man and Donnie Brasco, which I feel is easily his best work.

Sounds better to me that way, but Dead Man, Ed Wood, and Fear and Loathing are definitely Top 3 material.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
2. Public Enemies (criminally underrated)
3. Sweeny Todd
4. The Libertine
5. Edward Scissorhands

That will be my all time favorite role of his.

Pirates Of The Caribbean, 2. Sweeney Todd, 3, Fear&Loathing In Las Vegas, 4. Edward Scissorhands, 5. Donnie Brasco

But in all seriousness the only film I haven't liked him in was The Libertine and that was because of the film itself not his performance

Edward Scissorhands, The Ninth Gate, Pirates of the caribbean #1,2,3,4, finding neverland, and dark shadows

I thought it was an excellent film with a great cast and direction.
My favorites are the 1st Pirates, Sweeney Todd, & Sleepy Hallow

He was amazing in that movie. He actually ad libbed a lot of the movie. He was also praised by George Jung himself.
