THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS

Topping my list is The Nightmare Berofe Christmas. Who could have seen this coming? This is by far the best Halloween movie ever made, but it's also the best Christmas movie ever made. Tim Burton's masterpiece, and one of the greatest animated movies ever made, is a film that can be viewed on both Halloween and Christmas, why? Because both are so clearly defined in the film, that it can be watched on both occasions. The whole film works, the casting is briliant, every voice is well suited for each character.and the animation is stuning. The fact that these puppets move with such life, but are not actually alive is so exicting and wonderful to experience. The music is also great, Danny Elfman's songs are probably some of the very best in the history of the animated film. The songs are so catchy and well fleshed out, no one can tell me they never got "what's this" stuck in your head. The look is so distinctivly Tim Burton, from the swril it the mountian right down to the leaves on the ground. This film is truly a groundbreaking film and continues to gain more and more fans every year. And now, being show in 3d in less than a week, it will reach a new audience and hopefully mezmerize them, as it did me.
