A Gothic Tim Burton Classic!!!

I thought this was a really good movie! Since it's a film by Tim Burton, you get a dark, depressing feel, and Danny Elfman music, and stripes. Michael Keaton, Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, and Winona Ryder all did a perfect job! Michael Keaton is hilarious and awesome as Beetlejuice! Adam and Barbara Maitland die in a car crash, they are given a rule book to go by on how to be dead. The Deetz family moves in, but Adam and Barbara want them out. Somehow, they're hot gothic daughter, Lydia can see them. They become friends, but they still want to scare them out. They seek the help of Beetlejuice, who is extremely obnoxious, and a bio-exorcist who tries to help Adam and Barbara, but he's too scary and obnoxious to leave and stop. The Deetz's bring Adam and Barbara back from the dead, but Lydia doesn't want them to because it'll torture them. Desperately, she asks Beetlejuice to help. If you love gothic comedy, you'll love BEETLEJUICE!!!

Awsome Movie. Awsome 3-D box cover

Just got it in today an the first thing i noticed is the box cover is 3-d.
Has Beetlejuice with a shrinkin head and when you turn it. It has barbra and her husdand on each side of beetejuice with the husband head in beetlejuice's head. It has the soundtrack and the cartoons. So all in all you getting a great movie. Song songs and the cartoon.
Worth every dollar

"This is my art, and it's very dangerous!"

Review of the Blu-Ray copy (5 stars out of 5)

The Good Things
*Has good video/sound quality. The picture is a bit grainy and fuzzy, but is clearer than the regular DVD. It has good color and some parts are sharp.
*Includes three episodes from the Beetlejuice cartoon show (brings back memories), a music-only track, and a trailer. It is a bummer that there aren't any more features, but this is still better than previous releases, which had practically nothing.
*Includes a CD sampler disc, containing six or so tracks. One of the songs is the "Bannana Boat Song" by Harry Belafonte. The others are pieces of the score by Danny Elfman.
*The movie is great. It is wild, zany, cartoonish, but never overly goofy or childish.
*Filming style and cameramanship is good.
*Production design is great. It is macabre (like any Tim Burton film), but also imaginative, funny, and sometimes really funky.
*Lots of great make-up effects and special effects.
*The characters are great and memorable. The acting is excellent all around. The writing is great, for there are lots of funny memorable lines.
*Excellent sound design.
*Excellent music.
*My copy came with a cool lenticular slipccover.

The Bad Things
*Special features are in standard definition.
*Don't know if I'd reccomend it to most young kids. Contains some morbid material (death, ghosts, monsters, etc) and some swearing (including one really bad swear word). Rated PG.
*I imagine that some people may be put off by the craziness.

I might be a bit biased, since I grew up watching this movie (and the cartoon show) relentlessly. Still, it really is great. The story is good, smart, well-written, and has an excellent cast of characters/actors. The dialogue is funny and memorable. Above all, it's highly imaginative, with its fantastic settings, costumes, special effects, and creature effects. Highly reccomended to anybody who is even remotely interested in Tim Burton or horror/comedies in general.

Great Movie...But NOT Given DELUXE Treatment

Why oh why do studios stamp "Deluxe Edition" on movies and then provide nothing to make it worthy of that title?????? I absolutely LOVE the movie Beetlejuice, and just about anything else Tim Burton has done. The Blu-ray version of this movie looks and sounds better than any version I've seen before. The colors are sharp and the sound is greatly improved over other DVD iterations I have seen before. The movie comes with a nice slipcover featuring the cover art in lenticular motion. That's about the only really special feature you are going to get on this disc. With it being the 20th Anniv. of this film, I thought that surely something would have been included about the making of the film, but there is NOTHING. There is no commentary track, no making of doc., no interviews with the cast.......NOTHING. Oh you do get 3 episodes of the Beetlejuice cartoon.....yaawwwwnn and the original theatrical trailer. I'm not complaining too much, because I do love this movie, and it is worth the price just to see it in High Definition. It just ticks me off a little when studios stamp the "Deluxe Edition" on the cover, when there is nothing Deluxe about it.

Tim Burton's imagination goes wild!

I'd have to say that this isn't really a top favorite from master filmmaker Tim Burton, but it's not at all horrible. It's a classic display of Burton's wild imagination and clever imagery. It's a great comedy, and it's not only Burton's directing that makes it a laughfest. Michael Keaton is perfect as Beetlejuice; I don't think no one else can equally play the character like he does. But it's too bad he only appears in the film in a total of ten minutes. Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis shine as the deceased married couple, who want an eccentric family out of their perfect house. Catherine O'Hara, Jeffrey Jones, and Winona Ryder give nice performances, and Robert Goulet's cameo appearance is a treat.

Oh, and let's not forget Danny Elfman's music score. This is awe-inspiring pre-Batman stuff right here; the main theme is VERY catchy. Art direction and costume design are a plus. The only flaw I can find here is the dance sequence in the end of the film. It's pretty corny, and I find it very annoying. But overall, this is a fun film for the older crowd.
