• Edward Scissorhands

1990 | Directed by Tim Burton
A kind inventor is almost finished piecing together his latest creation when fate prevents him from completing his most important project. Edward may seem dangerous, with scissors instead of hands, but when a compassionate Avon lady comes calling, it's clear that things are going to be changing for Edward who has been alone in the large empty mansion. What they both don't realize is that the most important change of all won't be found in Edward but in the residents of the sleep suburbs he will be calling home, and a young teenage girl who's eyes will be opened.
