With Lucas, I like American Graffiti. That's about it.
With Burton, Beetlejuice is an occasional passing fancy, and anyone who doesn't love Pee Wee's Big Adventure hates fun and happiness. Everything else, I could take or leave, though Alice in Wonderland made me ill.

George Lucas is a better writer and producer than he ever was as a director. That being said, I think what he accomplished with the first Star Wars film was nothing short of amazing. I also think that is why "The Empire Strikes Back" is the best of the series, because Kirshner directed it. He was a more story driven director and was George's film teacher, someone he could trust. The Indy films worked because Spielberg handled the direction and Lucas wrote it. Each played to their strengths and had a hit.
