The Man Who Would Be King is about two Englishmen named Daniel Dravot (Connery) and Peachy Carnehan (Caine) who were officers in the British empire but are now getting into trouble with the law. So the two men decide to go to Kafiristan to become kings and conquer the country. The only man who knows about it is  Rudyard Kipling (Plummer) who is based on the writer of the novel.

Edward (Depp) is a person created by a scientist but the scientist died before he could make him hands so he has scissors instead. For many years he lived on his own but one day a kind lady named Peg (Wiest) invites him to join her family were he falls in love with her daughter Kim (Ryder). Unfortunately the townsfolk turn against him and he has to deal with them.

Edward Scissorhands is the weirdest and serial film I have ever seen. It was funny and sad at parts but the film is quite dated now.
