The Nightmare Before Charistmas would certainly qualify as one of his better projects. I just limited myself to the worthy films he directed during the 90’s (Batman Returns could’ve also been mentioned). I think very highly of Sleepy Hollow. Its gothic, foreboding milieu is contrasted very well with the presence of an almost-feminine detective played by Depp. I still vividly remember the numerous awe-inspiring sequences with the likes of Christina Ricci and Christopher Walken. (On the other hand, that’s not the case with Irreversible, a film which you just reviewed. I guess time does destroy bad films.)

Anyway, there's no doubt in my mind that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory won't last as long as the old version did since it faces much tougher competition. As you know, quality children films aren't in short supply nowadays. I also haven't yet seen Corpse Bride, but I certainly will shortly.
