Edward Scissorhands | Available to Rent on Prime Video
Plot: An artificial man with scissors for hands, leads a solitary life until a kind lady called Peg discovers him and takes him into her home. At first, everyone welcomes him into the community, but soon things begin to take a change for the worse.
Our Take: Edward Scissorhands marked the first of the eight quirky film collaborations between Johnny Depp and Tim Burton and is (scissor)hands down my favorite of their work together (though Sleepy Hollow and Ed Wood tie for a close second.) Thirty years on, Depp’s endearing embodiment of the melancholy Edward (alone in his house on the hill) still makes me sad, which is perhaps why I continue to love it. — Vanessa
