The cast of this is truly staggering. We have multiple Burton regulars, 2 Hammer actors, several Harry Potter alumni, 3 Sith Lords and so forth. (And yes, some of those roles overlap.)
That's why I always thought she was perfect as Katrina.. cause most people saw Christina Ricci/Gothic setting, and thought "Wednesday Addams".... So when you saw her although Blonde, and sweet natured... she looked like she COULD be twisted. Which fit Tim Burtons world perfectly.
Just fell in love with this movie a couple months ago. Watch it all the time now. Such an amazing cast and atmosphere. Can’t believe I lagged on this for 20 years lol.
Sleepy Hollow is a masterpiece that Tim Burton is proud of himself to make a pretty darkest film adapting from a Washington Irving’s novel. I loved this movie and it’s perfect to watch on Halloween. Even though it’s playing in theaters on thanksgiving. Lol! No matter. It’s awesome. RIP Michael Gambon you shall be missed.
It's easily one of the best Tim Burton films that has Johnny Depp as the lead character(Willy Wonka clearly being the worst lol) and a good bunch of supporting characters, including a lot of well known actors, and a great gothic visual design for the Sleepy Hollow world. It's a film that the whole family could enjoy, especially at Halloween.🎃
I think I have watched this 2 dozen times. What a great small town mystery of its own. TLOSH is essentially a missing persons case. But this is a slasher murder mystery. Smart.
I really enjoy this version of the classic short story. While I admire what Kevin Yagher wanted, it sounds too much like what was required of any ‘90s slasher; I’m glad they kept him for the effects as they are so gruesome. Burton’s quirky vision was a perfect match for this kind of tale, but he does it with his own flair. The cinematography is fantastic, Danny Elfman delivers an eerie yet lush score, the cast is quite fun & the Hammer film feel is a treat for any fan of those films
I Love Sleepy Hollow I Remember Watching This On Showtime Last Year. For The Record This Is The Best '90s Horror Film To Date Next To Scream And Halloween H20.
Sleepy Hollow 1999 felt like a beautiful tribute to Hammer Horror, but we wouldn't forget Christopher Walken's hilariously awkward performance as the Headless Horseman! Haaaaaaaaaaa~
In the grand scheme, this one really doesn't get its due. It has its own unique look and feel even among Tim Burton movies, and everything about it works. Christine Ricci is one of my all time favorite actresses, I've crushed on her since she was Wednesday Addams.
Absolutely love this film. It’s a masterpiece. Should never be called a perfect adaptation though, because it is completely it’s own story, ha. Excellent in so many ways though. Christina was totally perfect and a complete dreamgirl in this film. For a truer adaptation though, the Hallmark version is excellent. Nothing is more fun than the animated Disney version though.
Probably Tim Burton's best movie in my opinion because it plays to all his strengths, it's dark, weird, gothic, and without feeling out of place due to it's more colonial setting when things like superstition, paranoia, occultism and the like were more commonplace. Also Johnny Depp is perfect as this stories interpretation of Ichabod making him a man obsessed with science after superstitions destroyed his childhood forced to confront the supernatural is a nice spin on things.
This to me is Tim Burton’s best work. It’s everything Cinema should be. I just wish they made a black and white version which they were planning to do but never made it in. As they chose a dark tint, grey look which dose work very well with this.
Enjoy and love your guys content, thanks for making fun and intriguing videos. Someday I’d like to see you guys talk about The Voices and Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters on either Black Sheep series or The Greatest Horror Movie You’ve Never Seen.
Tim Burton's last great movie before his lame phase began. Watch this movie every October. I once rented a movie theater for $100 so my friends and I could see it on the silver screen at Halloween.
Several members of Star Wars would sign up to the film including Ian Mcdermad - Ray Park as the horseman and I believe Nick Gilliard handled fight choreography
I’ve heard Tim Burtons Sleepy Hollow is the definition of a slasher movie, I think of Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow movie is Mr. Burton’s first actual slasher movie
Who TF are "most people"??? I've have yet to hear more than 2 people say 1999 was the "best" year for movies. Every movie buff I know CLEARLY knows that the 80s are subjectively the best years to pick from. My personal choice is 1987: The Untouchables Predator Lethal Weapon Full Metal Jacket RoboCop The Princess Bride The Lost Boys ANES 3: Dream Warriors Hellraiser Evil Dead II Wall Street Plains, Trains, and Automobile SpaceBalls Dirty Dancing Fatal Attraction The Running Man Beverly Hills Cop II Good Morning Vietnam. Raisin Arizona Three Men and a Baby Over the Top Harry and the Hendersons Monster Squad Witches of Eastwick Creepshow II RAW Hamburger Hill Empire of the Sun. Many of these are top rated EPIC award winning movies or Cult classics. And that's not counting 1981, '82, '83, 1984, '85, '86, '88, or '89. I could name 20 movies from each year and still beat 1999... Compared to 1999: Sleep Hollow 🙄 The Matrix Fight Club American Beauty The Green Mile The Sixth Sense Magnolia The Blair Bit... I mean Witch Project. Boondock Saints American Pie Cruel Intentions Those are the only ones I can think of worth mentioning.
What I wish is that someone would explain the PLOT ! The wealthy landowner (Gabon) said in the Church that there was a conspiracy among certain members of the town. I know it had to do with the Will, but who were the members of the conspiracy and what was its purpose?
When I was about 30 I read The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow, frankly I was pretty disappointed by it. I did not find Ichabod Craine a sympathetic character. He was a teacher of the old school, he believed in the saying Spare The rod and spoil the child. Washington Irving must have shared that old school belief.Personally, I would have thought if you belt kids at every opportunity that would put them off learning! It makes teachers look like enemies and school feel like prison!
