His wide variety in characters shows how versatile he can be, and how many different types of moviegoers he can appeal to.
Out of his 60 films, I have only seen 37 of them. I will rank all of ones I have seen, and give a short review for each of my top 10.
Sadly, I have not seen all of the successful films that Depp has been involved with. The ones that I have yet to watch that could potentially enter this top 10 are: Arizona Dream, Benny & Joon, Dead Man and Before Night Falls.
With all those movies for me to watch, I can see this current list being altered. So for now, here is my top 10:
37) The Tourist
36) Alice Through The Looking Glass
35) Dark Shadows
34) Into The Woods

10) Sleepy Hollow - Depp plays a professor sent to a town where three people have been decapitated, and the culprit seems to be the legendary Headless Horseman.
Directed by Tim Burton, this well presented horror mystery looks to have remained faithful to the classic tale with Burton's terrific gothic look to it.
9) Corpse Bride - One of Depp's very few voice roles in Burton's stop-motion animation spectacle.
Despite the film being mainly dominated by its striking visuals, the performances are still key in making this another of Burton's classics.
8) Edward Scissorhands - One of Depp's most well-known roles in another Tim Burton spectacle.
Depp plays a strange boy who quite literally has scissors for hands.
Depp creates such a lovable character who embarks on quite an adventure where he learns about life and being seen as an outcast.
7) A Nightmare On Elm Street - The Wes Craven horror classic from the 1980's. It sees a group of people be hunted by a serial killer who was known to be dead. The killer has found a way of hunting them beyond death.
6) Ed Wood - A terrific biopic about of a film-maker billed as 'The worst film director of all-time'.
Depp plays Edward D. Wood Jnr, an ambitious film director who just wanted to make movies, no matter how bad they are.
It has great references of the film industry during the 1950's and the entire production looks terrific.
5) Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street - Based on the broadway musical. Depp plays Benjamin Barker who sets up a barber shop in London which has a sinister twist.
With the addition of the odd sing-song, director Tim Burton has created such a dark and gloomy looking London that gives it the perfect atmosphere for a story such as this one.
4) Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl - Depp gives us an introduction to one of the most popular characters of the last 10 years of film making, Captain Jack Sparrow.
With top-notch swashbuckling action, and terrifying villains, this feature from Disney has really put the Pirate genre back on the map.
3) What's Eating Gilbert Grape - Only recently saw this and completely blown away.
Depp plays Gilbert whose life has been stopped as he is having to look after mentally disabled brother and obese mother.
With a lot of great performances and a touching story, this is worth a serious look.
2) Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - Depp is back as Captain Jack in a thrilling sequel as the Pirates franchise is cranked up a few more notches.
With Sparrow on the hunt for the heart of Davy Jones, the man himself has put a debt on Sparrow's shoulders. The clock is running and Jack and his crew have race against time to find the heart.
1) Finding Neverland - Winner of 1 Oscar and nominated for Best Picture, Depp plays author J.M Barrie whose friendship with a family inspires him to write Peter Pan.
It is a touching drama that sends you into a world of expanding your imagination and fighting for what you believe in.
