Try Sweeney Todd

[@princeoftonga]

Sleepy Hollow is one of those quiet masterpieces! Tim Burton at his best, Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci doing stellar work in the main roles and all of the support cast just killing it! Not one sub-par performance anywhere!

[@TheCrayonMaster]

This is my go to Halloween movie. It just has the perfect feel for this time of year.

[@razorfett147]

agreed. i watch it every year on Halloween

[@Little1Cave]

This movie was nominated for the Best Costume Design and Best Cinematography Oscars, as well as winning Best Art Direction and deservedly so. The set designs are so gorgeously American Gothic. And that tree is iconic. ❤️

[@LordVolkov]

Johnny Depp makes a great cowardly protagonist. Hiding behind his sidekick is one of the funniest moments. And Burton squirting him with goo at every opportunity is too good 🤣🤣🤣 And blonde Christina Ricci? Be still my heart 😍

[@jeremyfrost2636]

Burton also squirts him with goo in Dark Shadows.

[@digidv85]

When Burton and Depp collaborate, sparks fly in a wondrous combination. Sweeney Todd was another fabulous feature between the two. Johnny also received his third and most recent Oscar nomination for that role.

[@RhettPlanas]

I watch this film every Halloween season. It’s become my tradition. This year will be the 20th since I started it. Glad you enjoyed it. It’s one of my favorites. 🎃

[@christophercurtis4131]

I saw this when it originally came out in theaters, and it was instantly one of my absolute favorite films. The storytelling, the acting, the set design, how it was filmed and, most especially, the film's score. I loved the music for this film. Just the whole atmosphere the music brought to the film. I loved the backstory of Ichabod's childhood and how it shaped who he became. Christina Ricci was amazing as Katrina. And I love the mystery of trying to find who is controlling the horseman and why he seems to be targeting specific people. I never tire of watching this film. There were two stunt doubles for the horseman, one for the horse-riding scenes and one for the fight scenes. Ray Park, who played Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace, was the double for the fight scenes.

[@robertjewell9727]

The work by Washington Irving is a short story and in it Ichabod is a schoolteacher so Burton hugely expanded on the story, but he did a great job giving it his particular goth blend.

[@TitanWar93]

Christopher Walken is the best actor you will ever witness. He is so awkward and strange that you want to learn how to be him.

[@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps]

Oddly some of his best performances are where he's not awkward e.g. Deerhunter.

[@LordVolkov]

His body movement is very influenced by his dance and theater background. The more you watch him, the more you pick it up.

[@williamburnham3659]

Good actor, Simon Russell Beale is better

[@deadcatthinks6725]

Have you seen him in Things to do in Denmark when your Dead? He's basically just a talking head but steals every scene.

[@williamburnham3659]

Things to do in Denver when you are dead is a somewhat chaotic film. Walken's performance is OK Have you seen Death of Stalin , Russell Beale's performance is stupendous

[@Heritage367]

[@ThomasMongare15]

Don't forget Corpse Bride

Watch Johnny Depp again in Edward Scissorhands. That's another Tim Burton movie that everybody loves 💘.

[@WhiskyCanuck]

People should also check out the old Disney short animated film The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (1949). This movie references it a few times.

[@beamertoy]

This movie has had such an impact on me for the longest time. One of my OC's are hugely inspired by the headless horseman. I love every bit of screen time he gets. His conviction and presence, the music, the high-key lighting and color palettes that brought out rich colors on screen, making the movie age so well. Everything is perfect.

[@AdLed]

it's crazy when you think about it, Palpatine and Dumbledore in the same movie :)

[@mcgilj1]

And Sauraman or Count Dooku.. Depending on which way you want to go . Also Darth Maul

[@shainewhite2781]

YES!! LOVE THIS MOVIE!! Originally it was going to be a slasher film involving teenagers getting stranded in Sleepy Hollow and encounter a guy dressed up as The Headless Horseman but later learns that it's the REAL Headless Horseman. Before Johnny Depp was cast, Liam Neeson, Daniel Day Lewis, and Leonardo DiCaprio were considered for Ichabod Crane. Winona Ryder was going to play Katrina but turned it down. Marlon Brando was going to play the Headless Horseman before Christopher Walken was picked.

[@jeremyfrost2636]

That slasher film version was actually made, on a shoestring budget by Anthony C. Ferrante years before his breakout film Sharknado. Headless Horseman (2007), check it out.

[@manleychenoweth8144]

Aaand you lost me at Sharknado. Intentionally awful is still awful

[@axr7149]

Please see FINDING NEVERLAND when you get the chance. Brilliant combination of biopic and fantasy. Tells the story of what inspired JM Barrie to write PETER PAN, with Johnny Depp playing Barrie. Kate Winslet also appears in it.

[@shainewhite2781]

[@eddawg79]

Sleepy Hollow is one of my favorite movies this time of year, From Hell is another great Johnny Depp Halloweenish movie.

[@anthonyvasquezactor]

The original Washington Irving short story is COMPLETELY different from Tim Burton's adaptation. It's been one of my favorite stories since I was a child. If you haven't read it, I can't recommend it enough, especially for this time of year.

[@SB992REBORN]

No it's not!!

[@anthonyvasquezactor]

@@SB992REBORN Yes it is.

[@danielreid3476]

I saw this when it came out in the theater and loved it! It really only slightly resembles the original story, but it's still very entertaining.

[@futuremovieactor]

Lady Van Tassel's fate is that when the Horseman got his head back and returned to Hell, he took her with him. So her soul went to Hell with him and her body was left behind inside the tree where he's buried. It essentially IS death in every sense of the word.

[@jukio02]

I watched this movie like 8 months ago for the first time. Loved it.

[@cliffchristie5865]

The first victim is played by Martin Landau in what is effectively a cameo. He had won an Oscar for co-starring, along with Depp, in Tim Burton's "Ed Wood". The magistrate is played by Christopher Lee, who has one of the longest lists of credits in film history. Though set in upstate New York, they found a more appropriately grim and gothic filming location in England. Also this production borrows elements from the 1949 animated Disney film "The Adventures Of Ichabod And Mr. Toad", ( not to mention the flaming windmill from "Frankenstein" ) and spotting those references is a bonus for movie fans. For his part, Christopher Walken, not an expert rider, was seen in his closeups atop a mechanical horse. And, across the board, you can't fault the casting. A assembly of very good actors who love having something dense and interesting to work with.

[@WolfHreda]

Right around this time, Johnny Depp put out a small string of absolute sleeper gems. This and From Hell are probably the best of them.

[@xejelah]

I love him in a "detective" capacity - From Hell was awesome, but I also loved The Ninth Gate.

[@MovementGraffiti]

I love this movie and am partial to it because I grew up in the Hudson Valley in New York which still looks very beautifully haunted with it's woods, fog, ancient cemeteries and typical woodland creatures to this day. We have a Sleepy Hollow taxi service up here in Tarrytown and the decal is of the headless horseman(always makes me laugh). Thanks for your cool reaction!

Tim Burton's my all-time favorite director, and this is one of my favorites of his movies. I love how this movie gave Ichabod and Katrina a happy ending. You know, the Disney version of _Sleepy Hollow_ traumatized me as a kid. Anytime I see a headless person riding a horse, I feel terrified.

Two underrated movies with Johnny Depp that I recommend for reaction: "Astronaut's Wife" - sci-fi thriller, Depp is amazing in it. "The Tourist" - he stars with Angelina Jolie and it's a romantic adventure in Venice. Funny and exiting. Jolie is so beautiful in this movie!

[@heather6668]

Oh I absolutely love both of those movies. I pretty much love all Johnny Depp films. The Tourist was excellent and definitely underrated. The Astronaut's Wife was so good also. Totally different characters show his versatility. It got terrible reviews but Once Upon A Time In Mexico worth a watch for Depp's character alone. He is awesome in that.

Van Garrett is a Dutch name as much of this region of New York was settled by the Dutch in the 1600's. Sleepy Hollow is located north of Manhattan near Tarrytown along the Hudson River. You can get there from Grand Central Station and takes about 30 minutes from Manhattan. New York was formerly called New Amsterdam (also New Nederland) until the British claimed it and renamed it in honor of the Duke of York.

[@canadianicedragon2412]

This is a great "rework" of the classic Headless Horseman. It is a very enthralling movie. enjoyed the reaction from you as well.

If you want some underrated Johnny Depp.. "Don Juan de Marco".. I don't want to spoil anything about it.. But it's great .

Delightful commentary, as always!! You may also want to take a look at the charming American TV series "Sleepy Hollow," which ran from 2013 to 2017 and featured the handsome English actor Tom Mison as Icahbod Crane, transported from the past to present day (making for some amusing fish out of water stuff) and enlisted by American policewoman (the funny and feisty Nicole Beharie) to fight supernatural crimes of a very clever and colorful sort while trying to get back. An entertaining and endearing series. Tailed off in the final season when Beharie left.

Halloween has a long history, actually. Even romans had Feralia, which was a day when souls of the dead were believed to walk the earth, and people used to bring offerings to the graves and tombs. Also, the fireworks on new year's eve were originally meant to scare away bad spirits by the loud bangs. The idea of spirits walking the earth on a certain day, and the need to scare them away, or please them by some offerings, probably exists as long as human civilization does.

[@aaronmumbles3202]

I love when the subtitles spoon-feed me lol

[@suddenlyfrogs1906]

This film has such a rewatch factor, I think I watched it to death when it came out, I still love it. Nothing to do with the actual novel but so different and deliberately so that it's fine. I'm glad Lola appeared to watch Sir Christopher Lee's scene, not sure if you noticed the plethora of big names, but Lola sure did :D Lee (Saruman, Dooku) Ian McDiarmid (Palpatine) Miranda Richardson (From Blackadder, us Brits worth our salt love her) Michael Gough (Batman 89 to Batman and Robin, as well as the first hammer Dracula with Christopher Lee :D ) Ray Parks was the Horseman for most of it, Darth Maul/Toad ((X Men)

[@jeremyfrost2636]

That's Ray Park, without an S, and Miranda Richardson is actually best known as Rita Skeeter from the Harry Potter movies as Blackadder didn't get that big an international release (I was actually not aware until today that the erotic 3D/CG artist had named himself after a series).

[@charlesderosas5577]

another movie with Depp/Burton collaboration is "Ed Wood" an underrated classic.

[@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy]

Having not seen this film in maybe 20 years, I forgot how gory it was -- much more so than "Sweeney Todd." And, yes, the fact that you have Emperor Palpatine, Professor Dumbledore, Vernon Dursley, Principal Rooney, and Alfred Pennyworth all in one scene makes this film all the more epic (not to mention Saruman/Count Dooku in another).

When this came out, I said to my gf at the time. "This is my favorite Halloween story." Her response was to ask how I found out about the story, to which I told her when I was young there was an animated Disney movie which inspired me to read the actual book. She didn't believe that Disney did the story. In fact, she refused to believe point blank. That Christmas, I bought her her very own copy of "Ichabod and Mr. Toad." She told me years later that it was the best gag gift she ever received. She now uses it in her work as a teacher, showing it around Halloween to act as a relaxation before the actual day to possibly motivate a student to seek the source material. Wow, it's hard to believe a quarter century has passed. I think I still might love that lady...
