"'Twas a long time ago, longer now than it seems in a place perhaps you've seen in your dreams. For the story you're about to be told began with the holiday worlds of auld. Now you've probably wondered where holidays come from. If you haven't I'd say it's time you begun."

The Nightmare Before Christmas represents what one might argue to be the most famous and well known stopmotion film of all time. It's one of the few films that generally receive annual viewings, and it's often raved as Tim Burton's best film (despite actually being directed by Henry Selick). Even if this is a case of style over substance, I couldn't help but be enchanted by this visually stunning ... read more

My Collection, Part 1 - Animation (60 movies items)

"This is a wonderful film, directed by Henry Selick, and based on Tim Burton's darkly wondrous Christmas story. Henry Selick creates a world very similar to Tim Burton's own world, and succeeds greatly with this film. This film is accompanied with wonderful, original music written by Danny Elfman. The atmosphere of this movie begins as Patrick Stewart's voice narrates the opening words to Burton's rhyming tale. This is a wonderful film that should be seen by all."

Even if this is a case of style over substance, I couldn't help but be enchanted by this visually stunning picture, and I feel this is truly worthy of its cult classic status.

Jack Skellington, the hailed leader of Halloweenland wraps up yet another successful Halloween. The entire land loves him, and though Jack receives much adoration, he feels bored with his job, and wants something different.

Watched in 2013 with Commentary (57 movies items)

" Note: I know it's random to watch this movie in April, but I had to do a book report on the movie. It's still a great movie after nearly 20 years later. Not much I can say about this movie has been said other then I did feel the battle with Oogie Boogie was a bit short. "
