LOVE IT!!
Added 8/24/2009
This is one of my all time favorite movies.I saw it years ago on vhs and instantly feel in love with it. This movie you either love it or hate it within the first 10 mintes.I've had a few people compare the movie to Grease,as far as charecters(the typical Danny & Sandy romance) but this movie has soooo much more depth and humor.Its not as picture perfect and the sense of humor in this movie is hilarious.Helloooo this is a John Waters film so if you know his work than this movie of course a hit.I love this movie.It's a classic!

A Camp Musical Delight !

Don't foget to crank up the Surround Sound when you pop this cult gem into your disc player! The director's cut is not the version you saw on local broadcast TV but you will be able to forgive the four explicatives uttered in the courtroom scene as you wipe the tears from laughing out loud from your eyes.
How John Waters assembled this stellar cast, plus the trials and tibulations of making the film are all covered in what is about the best bonus features I have yet to see.
Johnny Depp rules (need I say more?), Iggy Pop inspires, Tracie Lords smolders, Ricky Lake is adorable, and every cast and crew member put 1000% into this film with every bit of it showing up on the screen.
Every song is perfect and I dare you not to hit the back button to watch the scene again after the rendition of "Please Mr.Jailer"
I'd give this movie SIX STARS !

Pretty decent Blu Ray for old movie title
Added 11/16/2009
I love this film and I thought they did a pretty decent job with this blu ray DVD. I've seen a few films that look their full of pixels. This one does have it moments when the scenes get really dark, but the day scenes are pretty sharp. Once again, I think they did a good job with this film, but I'm a little biased since this movie is one of my all time favorites.

Classic Burton
Added 10/2/2009
This movie really is a fascinating classic story. Recently I saw this on Amazon for pretty cheap in Blu Ray and having fond memories we decided to pick it up. I was curious if I would still enjoy this one so many years later or if it would just feel too dated. To my enjoyment that was not the case.
The movie seems to be a blend between several decades. The houses all look straight out of the 1950's or 60's as well as many of the styles yet the cars and some clothing looks more 70's but then there is mention of things like CD players which really make it even harder to figure out the time frame since those are from the mid to late 80's. I believe this was an important aspect of the film as it tries to show a simple life and a throw back to a supposedly simpler time until Edward comes in and turns things upside down.
The town feels so 'plastic' and cookie cut with bright colors that it really does a good job contrasting with Edward's world which is dark, gritty, with lots of grey while his clothing is anything but simple and ordinary.
Blending the two worlds is done really well as Edward tries to adapt. But the seemingly simple community is full of back biters who are all just fair weather friends with the exception of the family that takes Edward in and a few others.
I especially loved a semi minor character in the police officer who seemed to not only understand how fickle the community was but also understood some of the challenges Edward faced and was sympathetic and genuine to him.
Oh and Vincent Price is well... priceless as the creator of Edward even though he does not get much film time, he plays a critical role flawlessly.
Overall after all these years I still love this film, perhaps even more than before since I feel I understand it more. Highly recommend this one to anyone and it looks great on Blu ray.
