A "ten" for the man from "Plan Nine"

Rating: 10/10 (20 April 1999)

Tremendously good natured and affectionate look at the life and times of Ed Wood, arguably the best loved bad film director of all time. Johnny Depp is a revelation as the cockeyed optimist Wood; Martin Landau is heartbreakingly good as Bela Lugosi and Bill Murray is sublime (and worthy of sharing Landau's best supporting actor Oscar) as Bunny Breckinridge. Tim Burton's best and most fully realized film, shot in glorious black and white.
