Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street
Director: Tim Burton
Cast: Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, Timothy Spall and more
Plot outline: A barber is framed for a crime he didn't commit by a judge who is after his wife. After many years in labour camp, Benjamin Barker returns as Sweeney Todd to take his revenge.
Everything about this movie screams Tim Burton, from the cast to the lighting to the make up and the story itself. This alone would be enough for me to adore it, but it is even more than just a Burton-Depp movie. I had never seen the musical prior to seeing the movie, and I was enthused by the music and lyrics, not to mention the acting accompanying that! I am completely taken from the first note in the opening credits, and the scene where Sweeney first enters Mrs Lovett's shop made fall instantly in love with the characters. After that , it's an almost two hours long fest of colourful characters and wonderful music. Another favourite added to my list!
