Neither Keaton nor Burton have ever been better. Everywhere you look in this show you will see amazing performances. Winona is natural and weird, Alec and Geena are adorably confused, and Catherine OHara!!!!! The most wonderful!!!The creativity, originality and artistry make it so the effects don't seem dated even though they're old. If anything, it gets weirder with every passing year. This is the perfect Halloween movie for every age - so much fun!

How can anyone who has seen this movie not like it. Michael Keaton is perfect perverted creepazoid Beetlejuice who lives in the attic of a house along with a heap of other ghosts who have difficulty adjusting to the fact that they are dead. Beetlejuice is one of those characters in film you are either going to love or hate.I've long been a fan of Tim Burton. His movies are almost always weird, but there is almost always something endearing about his work. His films are almost always entertaining, and Beetlejuice is probably one of the more obvious examples.If you really think about it absolutely nothing happens in this movie. For those of you who've seen it, think about it. If you haven't yet seen it, just watch it for Tim Burton's really weird and wonderful imagination. It really is what makes the whole movie. This movie is a big departure for Michael Keaton. I found it really hard to believe he was actually a comic actor, but he is hilarious here and he is another thing that makes it worth watching.Just be aware this movie's story is almost nonexistent.

A thanks to all involved in this movie - its awesome in my opinion overall. Tim Burton I do believe in you - and Winona Ryder: Your spectacular and happy birthday from me to you!! --,-SYou could come and shoot a screenplay in Sweden sometime :). There are some Gothic buildings and various things from history lingering on and so on. Working with you people would be a ultimate dream AND vision come true I do declare.

From "Topper" to "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" to present day, we have had movies where ghosts occupy space with humans and even are in discourse with them (usually, only one of them). In this film, a couple of newlyweds purchase and old house and everything is fine until they are both killed in a car accident. In the afterlife, they continue to occupy the place, but, of course, the house is sold, and another couple moves in. This is disheartening as they now realize they are actually dead. We have a lot of potential here. They decide to drive the new owners out of the house, but they don't know what they can do, so they enlist an evil spirit, played by Michael Keaton, to do their dirty work. The problem is that he is totally uncontrollable and soon they are paying a bigger price than the new occupants. Of course, it's Tim Burton, so it's dark and oddly funny, but Keaton wears on one after a while, and the film slide into all sorts of gimmicky special effects. He is not the least likable, and that works against the charm of the story.
