Sweeney Todd
The movie is very good. Tim Burton's done some ill-advised things in recent years, but this is not one of them. I think the rule with Burton films is that you can usually tell whether or not he should be messing with a given project from the one-sentence pitch. Tim Burton Planet of the Apes? No. Tim Burton Sweeney Todd? Do you even have to ask?

I have to say, though, that if you are at all squeamish about blood or knives, you should not see this movie. I would have thought that such a warning would be unnecessary, but evidently not.

I did not know until now that the story predated the musical (some claim it originated as a true story, but that sounds as questionable as these types of claims usually are). The basic elements of Sweeney Todd the demon barber, Mrs. Lovett making his victims into meat pies, and even the mechanical trapdoor chair and Toby and some form of Joanna were all there early on, though the revenge plot with the monstrous judge is a 1970s addition.
