I think there's a timelessness to it and their relationship. A classic romantic comedy I don't need to feel ashamed of liking. <br /><br />Out of all of Johnny Depp's roles, I think Edward Scissorhands is probably tops in quirk. That's still a strange movie to look back on, although it is technically fantasy. His portrayal of Ed Wood is hilariously quirky, I highly recommend that if you haven't seen it (Sarah Jessica Parker is in it as well, and although she usually annoys me, she's wonderful in it).<br /><br />My favorite Johnny movie of all (can you tell I'm a fan) is Cry Baby. It's another John Waters film (as is Ed Wood) and it's the most campy quirky take on 1950s teen life you'll find. And amazingly quotable.Stephscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328839483008086049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661314111464958638.post-73855065468001609132012-04-19T11:51:17.744-07:002012-04-19T11:51:17.744-07:00I have one character that is always running his ha...I have one character that is always running his hands over his eyes when he's upset or frustrated.
