Favorite movies that have had an impact on me - #28 - Ed Wood (1994) - Johnny Depp has been Tim Burton's male muse for a long time, and this film, I believe, is their best work together. An affectionate biopic of Hollywood's "worst director," Ed Wood manages to capture its subject's unconventional life as well as his love of films and filmmaking. Martin Landau portrays a touching Bela Lugosi nearing the end of his career, but the whole cast is amazing. Did Ed Wood know that he had meager talent? It doesn't seem to matter. As Depp plays him, he is enthusiasm and loyalty personified. Filmed in glorious black and white, Ed Wood has plenty of laughs, a little pathos, and tons of style. And it never ridicules its subject. A brilliant film.
Ed Wood (Johnny Depp) loves the feel of a angora, "My girlfriend still doesn't know why her sweaters are always stretched out."
