What are your favorite Johnny Depp movies?


He had some good ones early in his career that I missed. I need to watch some of those. :)

Secret Window
A Nightmare on Elm Street
Edward Scissorhands
What's Eating Gilbert Grape

1. Ed Wood. His performance as the B-budget King is spot-on hilarious. Also my favorite Tim Burton film!

2. Gilbert in Who's Eating Grape. An oddly down-to-earth "human" performance in comparison. Johnny plays him very earnest but with nuance. He's all subtle angst; kinda Brando-ish.

3. Edward Scissorhands...Arguably still his best transformative role. Some find him creepy, I on the other-hand find Edward very endearing.

I'm not a big Johnny Depp fan but I did like his movie Black Mass.

A Nightmare on Elm Street.
He was also pretty funny in that vampire movie with Chloe Grace Moretz. I can't remember what it's called.
