Best Johnny Depp movies

Here is my list of Best Johnny Depp movies. Many may disagree as Depp now has so many movies from his career, but in my opinion these are the best Johnny Depp movies:

Eduardo scissorhands
The movie that really launched Depp’s career. The message is clear and wonderfully inventive, a great parable about the alienation of the different and the misunderstood.

What is Gilbert Grape eating
Great movie about caring for misfits and fun to watch Leonardo DiCaprio before he turned into the bee’s knees. One of the best Johnny Depp movies.

Donnie brasco
This movie simply exemplifies Depp’s coldness. He definitely didn’t have as many lines as Al Pacino who spoke constantly, but he had a strong presence.

Fear and loathing in las vegas
Critics didn’t love this movie, but it’s so strange and wonderfully visual that it became an instant cult classic. If it becomes a cult classic, it has to go on the list.

Blew it
One of those super cool movies where the acting might not be great, but it’s a really fun story to follow. Critics didn’t love this one either, but they got rave reviews from the audience.

Pirates of the Caribbean – The Curse of the Black Pearl
The first Pirates movie and I think the best one, they should have stopped making them after this one or spent a little more time improving them.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
I love Johnny Depp in this movie. just a super weird character and Depp seems like the perfect person to play him. In many ways it is better than the original. Director Tim Burton adds his usual trademark strangeness to the film.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
One of the only musicals that I have liked, and that says a lot.
