Collection of eight films from director Tim Burton. In 'Batman' (1989)
the streets of Gotham City are no longer safe for criminals, who are
being picked off by a masked vigilante in a rubber suit - dubbed
'Batman' by the press. Reporter Alexander Knox (Robert Wuhl) teams with
photographer Vicki Vale (Kim Basinger) in an attempt to discover
Batman's true identity - an investigation which leads them to the door
of mysterious millionaire Bruce Wayne (Michael Keaton). Meanwhile, crime
boss Carl Grissom (Jack Palance)'s attempt to rid himself of
untrustworthy henchman Jack Napier (Jack Nicholson) does not go
according to plan, and after emerging physically - and mentally -
disfigured from a vat of chemicals, Napier reinvents himself as the
psychotic Joker... In 'Batman Returns' (1992) Oswald Cobblepot (Danny
DeVito), who was abandoned by his parents as a baby 33 earlier, is bent
on revenge and returns to Gotham City as the Penguin. First he begins a
warped campaign to become Mayor, helped by millionaire businessman Max
Shreck (Christopher Walken), and then he undertakes a mission to murder
every first born son in Gotham - a plan which will avenge his own
beginnings. Meanwhile, he has two adversaries to contend with: Catwoman
(Michelle Pfeiffer), the embittered ex-secretary of Max Shreck, and, of
course, the old caped crusader himself - Batman. 'Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory' (2005), based on the novel by Roald Dahl, follows
eccentric chocolatier Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp) and Charlie Bucket
(Freddie Highmore), a good-hearted boy from a poor family who lives in
the shadow of Wonka's extraordinary factory. Most nights in the Bucket
home, dinner is a watered-down bowl of cabbage soup, which young Charlie
gladly shares with his mother (Helena Bonham Carter) and father (Noah
Taylor) and both pairs of grandparents. They all live in a tiny,
tumbledown, drafty old house but it is filled with love. Every night,
the last thing Charlie sees from his window is the great factory, and he
drifts off to sleep dreaming about what might be inside. For nearly 15
years, no one has seen a single worker going in or coming out of the
factory, or caught a glimpse of Willy Wonka himself, yet, mysteriously,
great quantities of chocolate are still being made and shipped to shops
all over the world. One day Willy Wonka makes a momentous announcement.
He will open his famous factory and reveal 'all of its secrets and
magic' to five lucky children who find golden tickets hidden inside five
randomly selected Wonka chocolate bars. When Charlie finds some money
on the snowy street and takes it to the nearest store for a Wonka
Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight he finds a golden ticket. The
family decides that Grandpa Joe (David Kelly) should be the one to
accompany Charlie on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Once inside,
Charlie is dazzled by one amazing sight after another. In 'Mars
Attacks!' (1996) Martians arrive on planet Earth and American President
James Dale (Nicholson) is persuaded to extend the hand of friendship.
One of the President's advisers, Donald Kessler (Pierce Brosnan), has
been studying the aliens and is keen to make peaceful contact. However,
the Martians gleefully fry their greeting party from Earth and launch an
all-out attack on the planet. In 'Beetlejuice' (1988) the Maitlands
(Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin) are a happy couple who, when killed in a
car crash, return as ghosts to their beloved home to wreak havoc on the
ghastly yuppie family who have moved in. Being novices at haunting,
their efforts go unnoticed by the house's new inhabitants except for
goth daughter Lydia (Winona Ryder), who doesn't mind one bit. At their
wit's end, the ghostly couple call on a despicably disgusting demon
named 'Beetlejuice' (Keaton) for help. The animated 'Corpse Bride'
(2005), set in a 19th century European village, follows Victor (voiced
by Depp), a young man who is whisked away to the underworld and wed to a
mysterious Corpse Bride (Bonham Car
