Funnier every time.

Rating: Null/10 (3 April 2005)

This movie is like Barton Fink or Miller's Crossing to me. --It gets funnier every time I watch it. When I first saw this film in 1999 I was NOT expecting comedy. I didn't know the story of Sleepy Hollow and didn't expect Ichabod Crane to be a fool. I wasn't sure I liked the movie. Watching it again tonight I have a whole new take on it. Now I think Johnny Depp's cowardly and ridiculous Ichabod Crane ("Look! A chemical reaction!!") is one of my favourite movie characters in recent memory. I laugh at almost every line he delivers in the first half of the movie.
Silly, lots of fun, and beautiful sets.
Tim Burton's best after Ed Wood.
