I'm probably in the minority, but I've always liked Benny & Joon

I like Depp's performance in [italic]Benny & Joon[/italic], although I hated it's treatment of people with psychiatric problems just needing a lot of love and understanding. The first [italic]Pirates[/italic] movie was fun. He created that character, which was memorable and led to a profitable, if annoying, franchise.

Ed Wood was funny and kind of sweet.

I've hated Depp since his BH 90210 days, but I enjoy "Ed Wood".

I like the subject matter (old Hollywood/Bela Lugosi).

Donnie Brasco and Blow.

In general all his high camp projects which then became repetitious and variations on a theme more or less were nearly all a hard pass for me.

I didn't mind his big part in the Branch Orient Express remake just recently. It was refreshing for NOT being what's become known as a Depp type role.

That said, he was made for the Hunter S Thompson Fear and Loathing role, although Rum Diaries by contrast was a let down for me.

I really like What's Eating Gilbert Grape, though not necessarily for his performance.

Blow, Gilbert, Scissorhands, and the first Pirates. Actually Don Juan de Marco was charming, too.

Me too R8. I'm glad he's not in the new reboot.

All the ones where he's young, he is an eye sore now

None, actually. Could never stand him.

Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood & Sleepy Hollow I can watch over and over again. His chemistry with Dianne Wiest in "Edward" is stronger than it is with Winona Ryder, and he's very touching in "Ed Wood" with Martin Landau. "Sleepy Hollow's" best moment is when Richard Griffiths is decapitated and his head rolls down the hill, landing right in Depp's crotch with its mouth open.

R13 The only thing I liked about the "Dark Shadows" movie is how they made Helena Bonham Carter look exactly like Grayson Hall.

I like that Kusturica movie that was the hit of all of Europe and Cannes.

Johnny Depp is still one of my favorite movie stars. I haven't seen all of his movies but two of my favorites that haven't seen mentioned yet on this thread are Dead Man and The Ninth Gate
