Book Description

2000 Movie Top Tens
One of the most enigmatic and uncompromising actors of recent years, famous for a wide variety of movies ranging from Tim Burton's gothic fable "Edward Scissorhands" and lurid pulp movie tribute "Ed Wood", to Terry Gilliam's psychedelic, paranoiac drug epic "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas".

Series editor Jack Hunter (author of film studies Inside Terradome and Eros in Hell) has selected his own chronological Top Ten of Johnny Depp's most engaging or offbeat movies, roles or performances, which are analysed in illustrated, in-depth essays by some of the best cutting-edge film critics of today. The result is both an incisive overview of Johnny Depp as an actor, and an anthology of films by some of the leading cult directors of recent decades such as Tim Burton, Jim Jarmusch, Terry Gilliam, John Waters, and Wes Craven.

Feature films include: "Edward Scissorhands", "Donnie Brasco", "Ed Wood", "Cry-Baby", "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", "What's Eating Gilbert Grape", "Nightmare on Elm Street", "Arizona Dream", "Nick of Time", "and Dead Man".

Movie Top Tens: A series of film studies which each focus on an individual actor/ actress, seeking to re-evaluate their screen persona and career by analysing their ten most engaging or offbeat films, roles or performances. With dozens of photographs, filmography, introduction and index.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent in depth look at ten of Depp's best film roles, September 19, 2005

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Johnny Depp: Movie Top Ten (Paperback)
This book gives one a succinct biography and then relates ten different essays on ten of Depp's most interesting roles and films. This is great source material if one is doing a Depp retrospective, as the background info and analyses of the films is for the most part - quite well done.

Recommended for Depp fans and fans of good film commentary.
