19. Sleepy Hollow (1999)
Tim Burton's reimagining of the classic Washington Irving short story marked his third collaboration with Johnny Depp, who portrays New York City police constable Ichabod Crane. Depp was always Burton's first choice for the role, though the director was compelled by studio executives to consider Brad Pitt, Liam Neeson, and Daniel Day-Lewis.
Burton had originally intended to shoot the gloomy film along the Hudson Valley, where the short story is set, but he ultimately settled in England, constructing spooky Sleepy Hollow from the ground up. At the time, it was the largest set built in the country.
