From 2016-08-23 00:00 UTC to 2016-09-03 23:00 UTC we're challenging you to all your great questions about Tim Burton and the films written or directed by him.1

Once the challenge is over, we'll tally the results and winners (by question score) here. Also don't forget to suggest and vote for new topics for our next possible challenge.

  • Does it also include movie he appeared in? Though he has cameo appearances only. I only watched two movies (one as director and another as actor).

    @Thunderforge Sure it is. Why wouldn't it be? Every birthday is a milestone to celebrate. Also, movie channels such as HBO will run the director or actor's films on the week that their birthday falls on, at least in the U.S. HBO has been running his films for over a week, now. Doesn't matter if it's his 58th birthday or not.
