Johnny Depp: Movie Top Ten

One of the most enigmatic and uncompromising actors of recent years, famous for a wide variety of movies ranging from Tim Burton's gothic fable "Edward Scissorhands" and lurid pulp movie tribute "Ed Wood", to Terry Gilliam's psychedelic, paranoiac drug epic "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas".

Series editor Jack Hunter (author of film studies Inside Terradome and Eros in Hell) has selected his own chronological Top Ten of Johnny Depp's most engaging or offbeat movies, roles or performances, which are analysed in illustrated, in-depth essays by some of the best cutting-edge film critics of today. The result is both an incisive overview of Johnny Depp as an actor, and an anthology of films by some of the leading cult directors of recent decades such as Tim Burton, Jim Jarmusch, Terry Gilliam, John Waters, and Wes Craven.

Feature films include: "Edward Scissorhands", "Donnie Brasco", "Ed Wood", "Cry-Baby", "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", "What's Eating Gilbert Grape", "Nightmare on Elm Street", "Arizona Dream", "Nick of Time", "and Dead Man".
