As a massive film buff from a rather early age, this was one movie I had never even seen. One of those “everybody knows it obviously and I’ve watched random scenes from it numerous times,” yet I had never really watched the movie. 

Then, as a bit Tim Burton fan, I decided to do a thorough analysis of his films and themes that stretched across his work in film school, and so I went through and watched all of his movies. Sat down with a crew and watched it for the first time in my 3rd year in college… could not believe how great it was. Instant classic. Now we watch it every Christmas.
