No. 13 Sleepy Hollow
Plot Outline: Ichabod Crane is sent to Sleepy Hollow to investigate the decapitations of 3 people with the culprit being the legendary apparition, the Headless Horseman.
Tag Line: Watch your head!
Trivia: Christopher Walken's character has no speaking lines, aside from a couple of "HAA"s to his horse and "shhhh."
The dress worn by Katrina Anne Van Tassel (Christina Ricci) in the last shot of the movie has the same pattern as Michael Keaton's outfit in the climactic scene of Beetle Juice (1988) also directed by Tim Burton.
Star Johnny Depp adopted Goldeneye, the horse that played Gunpowder, Ichabod Crane's horse in the film, when he heard it was going to be put down.
Ichabod Crane faints six times in the movie.
Ichabod Crane and Katrina Van Tassel were, reportedly, real people
Quotes: Ichabod Crane: We have murders in New York without benefit of ghouls and goblins. Baltus Van Tassel: You are a long way from New York, constable.
Young Masbath: Is he dead?
Ichabod Crane: That's the problem. He was dead to begin with.
Ichabod Crane: It was a headless horseman.
Baltus Van Tassel: You must not excite yourself.
Ichabod Crane: But it was a headless horseman.
Baltus Van Tassel: Of course it was. That's why you're here.
Ichabod Crane: No, you must believe me. It was a horseman, a dead one. Headless.
Baltus Van Tassel: I know, I know.
Ichabod Crane: You don't know because you were not there. It's all true.
Baltus Van Tassel: Of course it is. I told you. Everyone told you.
Ichabod Crane: I... saw him. [faints] 
Tim Burton's vision is flawless. There really is not a lot more to say other than watch it, love it.
