"Nightmare Before Christmas" is actually more for the art-scene than for the goth-scene, but I suppose there is some crossover.
Movies popular amongst goths (that I know of):
Ghost World
Nosferatu
Mirrormask
The Hunger

DR490N the matrix, though mostly cybergoths. Very true. It's soundtrack also appeals to rivetheads.

The Crow, yes.
Also, I'd say most vampire movies could be put under this category.
Although it is a sad fact that 90% of these Suck something large and disturbing.
I like "interview with the vampire", though, and on some days "Underworld".
(The first one, as the sequel has to die.)

I get the feeling Interview With a Vampire is a move you have to be goth to enjoy.

I concur. Not a huge fan of Queen of the Damned, though. They got it all wrong! At least as far as Lestat goes. Can't pick out anything besides that. Didn't read the book. But I read The Vampire Lestat.

The only Anne Rice book I've read in entirety is The Vampire Lestat, and my parents won't let me see any of those movies except TNBC, although I did see the first Matrix movie when they weren't around. whee ONE MORE YEAR!

TNBC isn't goth. It's a kid's movie, for crissakes. But I still love it ^.^
Corpse Bride would actually be considered more goth than TNBC...
So...Donnie Darko, the Hunger, Underworld, Mirrormask(more of an art-film than goth, though), Edward Scissorhands, The Crow, any Anne Rice film(and no, you DON'T have to be Goth to enjoy it. You just gotta like vampires), The Matrix, Lady Death(pretty well done for an animated film), Night Watch(I LOVED this movie.)
And then, they're not really "goth", but a lot of goths I know enjoy them: Tank Girl, From Dusk til Dawn, Highway to Hell, Domino, Constantine, Rocky Horror(hehehe), the NoES series, Halloween series, Saw, Hard Candy, stuff like that.
Basically, a lot of dark and controversial films with a taint of horror.

The style in Tim Burton films seems to be very gothic... for an example of a not-so-popular Tim Burton movie, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow had a scene of a torture chamber and the dead forest seemed very much in tune with that.

I like "interview with the vampire", though, and on some days "Underworld". (The first one, as the sequel has to die.) I will agree with that statement. I haven't wanted to watch Interview With a Vampire at all, for I loved the book to much and I do not want the movie to ruin it for me, by any means at all. I haven't watched Queen of the Dammed either, for I never felt the need too.... And the second Underworld, Underworld Evolution I think it is, should indeed be demolished. Horrible acting, over powered the vampires, made werewolves look like a bunch of kittens, and upset me at the fact I paid 8$ to see it. >.> Oh, and Legend of Sleepy Hollow happens to be a movie I had memorized, one of my favorites by Burton, along with Batman.

Senchou Ari Mizuko GilAskan Very true. It's soundtrack also appeals to rivetheads. An avid fan of industrial music (or related genres, such as EBM, industrial-dance, and industrial-metal) and supporter of the industrial scene.
