JOHNNY DEPP’S TOP 10 MOVIES

“Black Mass” (2015): Though he has uniformly solid acting support, a riveting Depp stays the centerpiece of this portrait of Boston crime boss James “Whitey” Bulger.

“Alice in Wonderland” (2010): Depp proved an inspired choice as the Mad Hatter in frequent collaborator Tim Burton’s take on the classic tale.

“Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” (2007): In an adaptation of the stage musical, Depp yielded another superbly macabre portrayal via director Burton.

“Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” (2005): Expectedly playing a darker Willy Wonka than Gene Wilder did, Depp reinvented the role, helped in no small measure by filmmaker Burton.

“Finding Neverland” (2004): An appealingly gentler Depp helped tell the story of how author James M. Barrie devised “Peter Pan.”

“Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” (2003): If Depp didn’t seem to have the makings of a Disney character, his first outing as Capt. Jack Sparrow proved otherwise.

“Donnie Brasco” (1997): Depp and Al Pacino made a great team in the fact-based story of an incognito FBI man and a mob underling.

“Ed Wood” (1994): Depp and Burton struck again in a stylish portrait of the “B”-movie maker.

“Benny & Joon” (1993): A tricky role was pulled off beautifully by Depp, playing a street mime who became the salvation of a deeply troubled young woman (Mary Stuart Masterson).

“Edward Scissorhands” (1990):A long- and sharp-nailed Depp evoked empathy for the ultimate outsider in the project that cemented the actor’s association with Burton.
