Our suggestions
Ambitious but troubled movie director Edward D. Wood Jr. tries his best to fulfill his dreams, despite his lack of talent.
"If there's one movie that's a true ode to grassroots cinema, made on a shoestring budget, it's 'Ed Wood'. Here, Tim Burton delves into the real-life story of the filmmaker who gives his name to the feature - considered by many to be the worst director of all time, with films like 'Plan 9 from Outer Space' and 'Glen or Glenda?' on his resume. It's a delicate and funny, often emotional film, which pays attention to detail in telling Ed Wood's difficult journey to make his movies happen. Although Johnny Depp (‘Pirates of the Caribbean’) is good as the protagonist, it's Martin Landau (‘Crimes and Misdemeanors’) who steals the show as an aging Bela Lugosi. A must-see for movie fans."
