Edward Scissorhands [Includes Digital Copy] [25th Anniversary] [Blu-ray] [SteelBook] [1990]

Every director probably has one movie that he pours part of himself into. For Spielberg, it was ET, Lucas had American Graffiti. Here, Tim Burton poured into the soul of Edward Scissorhands the world of an outsider, a creation of an old inventor (wonderfully played by Vincent Price) who passes on before he can finish Edward(wonderfully played by Johnny Depp). Edward is one day discovered by Peg Boggs, a curious Avon lady, who takes Edward home to suburbia, a community of multi-colored houses that could only come from the mind of Burton and production designer Bo Welch. Danny Elfman delivers probably his most moving score in this picture. The DVD looked like it would be incredile with what was announced, but it would have to lose starts for what I thought: 1)Audio commentary by Burton and Elfman: Both of these guys do not talk all the way through the film, (though it does sound a little better than Devlin and Emmerich on ID4's DVD & Barry Levinson and Tommy LEe Jones on Men In Black, who chatter on like inane movie theater patrons). But most of the time I found myself wondering when they would speak again. Burton probably speaks 12-15 times through most of the movie, but it sounds more like he's having little afterthoughts. Elfman's audio plays after certain music segments are done (his background music plays over the dialogue so we hear outright how it sounds). 2)Tim Burton concept art: after seeing The Tarzan Collector's Edition, this was a letdown, with only about 7 pieces of art (5 concepts of Edward, 1 of the Inventor, and 1 of Edward's place in the mansion's attic). 3)The featurette talking about the film is also a letdown, as there is nothing that was reall notable (I was really looking forward to hearing how Stan Winston Studios made the Scissorhands props). The only cool notable is the interactive menu, made like a pop-up book of the mansion Edward is found in. If you are looking to find a great movie, get this DVD. If you are into those that promise incredible extra features, pass this one up.

This is a classic movie that I enjoyed in my childhood. I love this steelbook, the artwork is handsome. I'm so glad I was able to get this for my collection. I grabbed the last one when I was at the store, so I felt lucky. YAAAAAAAY!

Danny elfman's masterpiece score makes this movie into a timeless classic

This is one of my wife and I's favorite Tim Burton films. We're also huge Johnny Depp fans, the two work together very well. This is a brilliant film that could only come from the imagination of Tim Burton. This film also has a good underlining message about our society. This a fantastic movie that I highly recommend! Also, some other great Burton/Depp films are Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and thier latest Alice in Wonderland.

Ordered and it shipped really quickly. I've watched it four times since getting it. Perfect condition

Tim Burton gives us a film that really starts off beautifully, but like so many of his productions, ends up just getting darker and weirder as it goes on. 'Edward Scissorhands' is a really good film that could have been outstanding, had Burton tried to keep his often 'dark' and 'bizarre' creative side a little more under control. The two highlights of this movie are Danny Elfman's musical score and Johnny Depp's performance as the title character. An excellent dvd presentation overall, with exquisite bonus features that are sure to delight fans of the film.

Nothing to be said of the movie. You love it or you don't. But the blu has NO, NONE AT ALL, dialogue track. Just the score. No matter how much you fuddle with it or look for settings, there is NO dialogue track. Maybe some blurays were produced correctly. But I got a cr*p batch.

I bought this as a gift for my wife, a big fan of the movie. However, I couldn't find the widescreen version of the movie in any brick and mortar stores, including Best Buy. Best Buy.com was the most reputable store that had the version I was looking for, for the best price. However, I was surprised that it took 8 or so days for it to be shipped from NJ to IN. All of that said, I'm still glad that I bought the version I did so I could avoid those weird camera movements used in Pan & Scan fullscreen versions.
