The Best Film of the Year

Rating: 10/10 (26 November 1999)

Sleepy Hollow proves once again that Tim Burton is one the greatest directors alive today. This should be considered a true masterpiece not only for him but for the history of film. If he doesn't get any recognition for this movie i will be really shocked.
Sleepy Hollow is a more gorier re-telling of the story of the Headless Horsemen. Icabod Crane(Johnny Deph) is sent to the town of Sleppy Hollow to find a killer who severes his victims heads and takes them. At first icabod doesn't believe in the horse-man until he sees him for hisself. He also meets a young girl named Katrina(Christina Ricci) who he becomes very attracted to. A lot of things follow and this becomes one of the best movies i have seen in a long while.
The acting is really superb in this film. Johnny Deph is my favorite actor as of now. He is the most versatile actor in recent memory and he is always willing to take chances. he should really get something for this film because he trully brings icabod to life. Christina Ricci is also good as the innocent Katrina. She is one of the best younger actresses in hollywood and this is one of her best performances.
Tim Burton again, i bow in your prescence. He is a true visonary and fora lack of a better word a cinematic genius.
The Music is also superb. Danny Elman is a wonderful composer. i really loved the music in this film. i smell an oscar in the air.
All in all a great film that left me speechless 10 out of 10
