I have watched the following Johnny Depp movies:
Public Enemies - the new one about John Dilinger
Cry Baby - a musical where he plays a juvenile delinquent
Pirates of the Caribbean - where he steals the movie from Orlando Bloom
Edward Scissorhands - with a blond winona ryder
Don Juan Demarco - where he plays a mental patient/Don Juan
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Gene Wilder wins
The 9th Gate - Depp goes satanic.
Finding Neverland - Where he plays the author of 'Peter Pan'
Chocolat - I think he was a gypsy
Sleepy Hollow - with a blond Christina Ricci
Donnie Brasco - from my brief sojourn into gangster movies
Benny & Joon - I loved this movie in high school.
So I think I am qualified to make some judgments here. And I say that anyone who doesn't think twice before watching a Johhny Depp movie is nuts. That being said, out of the movies I've watched, these are the ones I really really liked:
1. Benny & Joon
2. The 9th Gate
3. Cry Baby
I would add 'Finding Neverland' but its too damn sad.
note* the amazing loml took me to a movie theatre tonight that had the *best* popcorn. Thanks honey!

So how is public enemy? I have been contemplating whether I want to see it in theatre or later.

I don't think this is a very good movie. The character development is very poor and the story line is about what you would expect. Jon thought it was boring.

WHAT you haven't seen Sweeney Todd!?!? It's fucking fantastic; stop what you're doing, go to the video rental store, and watch it right away. Seriously, I have a feeling you'll love it.

You have an excellent point on this one. I'll see if netflix has it now.

I agree. I've seen all but two of those movies and parts of another. I've found that people either really like him or really don't like him. Not a lot of in-betweens. Were you a 21 Jump Street fan? I saw pieces of it occasionally, but I didn't get into JD until his movies.
P.S. The Alamo Drafthouse sometimes has good popcorn. I think they are opening one in Winchester, VA.
