Advantages: you know that you are getting the best
Disadvantages: i think he does work best with Tim Burton, so is't not a disadvantage here

...most remarkable aspect of the Edward Scissorhands score is its ability to tell a story in and of itself. The album takes you on the journey of this fable with masterful precision. Emotions are never absent --nor are the fairy tale thematic and choral elements. Rarely missing for longer than a few minutes, the boy's chorus brilliantly carries the innocence and imaginative elements of the story. Track 15, "The Grand Finale" is easily among the ten ...
...the chorus, thematic development, and a heart-wrenching emotional climax into a dazzling, magical experience. Danny Elfman is the best at what he does, combine him with Tim Burton and you have pure magic the list is to long to name but just take The nightmare before christmas and Corpse Bridse, these 2 minds togeter will continue too bring us the best that there is to offer. ...

Advantages: Elfman's most magical creation and a true masterpiece
Disadvantages: The Tom Jones song at the end

...Vincent Price as "The Inventor," Edward Scissorhands is a fairy-tale like fantasy about a strange artificial man with scissors for hands. From his lofty castle on top of a hill, he is whisked away by a cosmetic's saleswoman straight into the suburbs where he is greeted with interest and wonder. It won't be long however when people start turning against him due to his naïve trust in others and his sharp scissorhands that cause a few unintentional ...
...last entry of the year, Edward Scissorhands. In between his darkly gothic and quirky early style, Edward Scissorhands amazes you with its sweetly dream-like and gentle quality. It is music that is at all times hauntingly beautiful and lyrical, never really becoming unbearable or unlistenable. It is the most touching and personal of Elfman's scores, imbued with a nostalgic sorrow of great beauty. There are two elements in particular that really define ... Read review

Advantages: beautiful piano, wonderful soundtrack to the movie
Disadvantages: none for me!

Amélie is one of the most beautiful and uplifting films of recent times, and it soundtrack reflects that perfectly. This album has been on my favourites playlist since the second I heard it; certain tracks, such as Comptine d'un autre été - L'après-midi and of course the main theme, La valse d'Amélie (particularly the piano version) make my breath catch in my throat. Though it is the melancholy piano tracks that stick out for me, there's an eclectic ...
...accordion, which makes some tracks curiously joyous and makes the whole album very distinctly French - as it should be. If you love Amélie, you could not fail to love this album, as it immediately summons up the spirit of the film. But even if you are unfamiliar with it, it might be worth a look; the piano tracks alone might persuade you to watch it, and if you love French music it is sure to be a pleasure. ... Read review

Advantages: Dancing
Disadvantages: No organized plot

WOW love this DVD cannot get enough of it. It's quite different to the first though.More dancing, BETTER dancing. I was watching this with my sister and my friends I just can't get enough of it. It's one to watch if you're either at home with friends or partner. If you like films such as Oceans eleven and thrteen then you'll love this. Though the dacing is good, wait no good is an under statement it's FABULOUS but it's got no organised story plot ...
...Definitely one to watch. It's aimed at teenagers more than grown adults. I would most definitely recommend this to any on to watch either on a night in. all in all i love it for me the film is the one of the most compared to 'save the last dance'. ... Read review
