Beetlejuice

3 Thoughts After Re-Watching ‘Beetlejuice’:

1. This is, without a doubt, Burton’s best. Wholly original and always destined for greatness. A weird and wacky masterpiece.

2. The MUSIC. The music feels like a character all its own. As perfectly cast as this film is, it would NOT be the same without the legendary mix of Danny Elfman and Harry Belafonte. Absolutely iconic.

3. These visuals could never, ever, ever get old. True blue Burton in all his oddball glory. He created a playground here that we all wish we could play in. I remember being a kid, drawing a door with chalk, and knocking three times.

This movie is a total classic!!!

I literally love this movie. And i know that Michael Keaton has not a lot of Screentime, but boy: When he is ther, he gives you a hell of a show.

And this setdesign is great -even to this day.

The overall tone of the movie is dark-ish but also uplifting. I loved it as a kid and had the best time rewatching it.

Fantastic comedy about ghosts that fail to scare.

i literally could not physically look away from this movie for a second. wow.

A nugget of precise mayhem that never seems to get old. With Beetlejuice, Tim Burton and Danny Elfman's partnership is at or near its peak, delivering a perfect blend of wildly original visuals and unusually appropriate musical cues. They also get plenty of extra help from the cast. Mixing and matching bit players from dozens of sources, it's an ensemble piece without a true focal point. Even Michael Keaton's unrestrained performance as the film's devilish namesake can't claim center stage for long, due to constant pressure from Catherine O'Hara, Jeffrey Jones, Geena Davis, Winona Ryder and a borderline-unrecognizable Alec Baldwin.

A genuinely hilarious script dances in awkward beauty from comedy to horror and back again, leaving plenty of room for scalding improvisation and keeping even the most tenured viewer guessing about what's around the next corner. I loved it growing up, when I didn't quite get every joke, and I adore it even more today.

classic.....looking forward to the new beetlejuice film

Didn't expect i would like it as much as i did
