    Tim Burton (1) really only directs dark movies (tonally, not luminously), and (2) went through a phase where everything he did either involved the actress Helena Bonham Carter (including his marriage, for a while) or the actor Johnny Depp (to whom he was not married), or both.

    The question for this Jeopardy answer could equally be any of five things:

    • What is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? (the 2005 film, not to be confused with the 1971 Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory)

    • What is Corpse Bride?

    • What is Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street?

    • What is Alice in Wonderland? (the 2010 live action one)

    • What is Dark Shadows?

    And if you add in his executive producer credits, you can toss in the Alice in Wonderland sequel, too.
