Summary: Sensational movie!
Review: This is Tim Burton's second movie and his second best movie next to " Batman", "Sleepy Hollow" and " Nightmare Before Christmas", it's about a kooky poltergeist named " Beetlejuice" ( Michael Keaton) who is helping a deseased married couple ( Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis) on getting rid of a family who has taken over their house.

A very entertaining and hilarious horror comedy with plenty of great laughs, great special effects, good acting and wonderful direction.

Pure genius!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just plain fun!
Review: I recently saw the DVD 5.1 version of this film and it is excellent. The picture quality is, excuse the pun, picture perfect. The sound is very good on the surround but not much on dialog separation if any at all. But Alec Baldwin makes up for the rest. I have always told my partner that Alec would be the only guy in the world that i would leave him for. I know it would never happen but each time i watch this movie my fantasy runs wild just like the movie itself. This is just pure fun, pure entertainment, no thinking involved, no serious plot, no hardship, non racist, non potical just pure fun. Get it,,,,,you won't be disappointed. If anything get it for Alec,,,,they don't get any hotter than him.

Summary: Great movie turned bad
Review: Just to let you know, this movie is one of my personal favorite ghost movies. That said, I feel I need to tell you some details about this terrible DVD. The packaging is fine, nothing great, but it works. The picture and sound quality are good and make it a good cinematic experience. However, the menu is complete trash, the extras are EXTREMELY embarassing, and to play the movie you actually have to click on scene selections and click on the first chapter because there is no PLAY button! What's the problem here? As I recall, this film is on AFI's top 100 funniest movies ever made, so don't you think they could make a better DVD than this garbage? I am so sick and tired of these movie companies getting away with selling us trash.

This double sided disk is no good. Pick what format you want the first time you watch it, and stick with that side the whole time...because if you switch each time, both sides get scratched! Personally, I think fullscreen is for idiots who think they're getting the whole picture when they're not. You people put no actual thought into making DVDs, you just slap some crap together and think its fine. No, it's not fine! Clean up your acts!

Summary: the best!
Review: This is a great movie about a young couple who die in a freak accident and want to remove the urbane yuppies who move into their house. The bored teenaged daughter of the house Lydia (a pre-shoplifting Winona Ryder) has a Goth thing going on and can't stand her parents either. With the help of an out-of-hand "Bio-exorcist" named Beetlejuice, they strive to make everyone leave using some very convoluted plots that make for good screen time (the classic "Day-O" dinner party scene).

There are great visual effects here (Beetlejuice's Head shrinking) as well as the kind of spooky music for which Danny Elfman is known and excellent dialogue. It was made 15 years ago and still remains the freshest, wittiest movie you'll see all year.

And, if nothing else, you've got to appreciate that great Calypso soundtrack. Shake your body, child!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good Tim Burton Flick
Review: I like Tim Burton movies in general. But this is a good one too if you're just into movies. It's funny, and has great visuals (for the time it was made).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Comedy
Review: Beetlejuice is the story of ghosts (Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis) who can't get along with the family (Jeffrey Jones, Catherine O'Hara, and Winona Ryder) that moves into their house. The ghosts enlist Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton) to help them, and the fun really starts. The movie is directed by Tim Burton. Robert Goulet and Dick Cavett make cameos. The score is by Danny Elfman. This movie has a great cast and a great director.

If you're a fan of Burton's other movies, you'll especially like this movie. Like all his movies, it has his distinctive look and feel to it. But anyone can enjoy this far-fetched comedy. Being PG, it should be appropriate for most members of the family. The DVD is lacking some of the special features that I would like to see though - like outtakes, behing-the-scenes, etc...

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Yes.....well?!
Review: One of Tim Burton's first movies, stars Michael Keaton in a lot of terrible looking make-up, bad acting and direction, and Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin looking like fools (which they were when they agreed to star in this movie). For people who like this movie, I don't think they know what they are saying.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great, but missing adaptation of the television show
Review: This is a good movie, but it is missing its adaptation on the cartoon "Beetlejuice." Beetlejuice shouldn't be called BeetleGeuse, There were no dead people, Lydia shouldn't hate Beetlejuice, she's suppose to like him, and Beetlejuice didn't live in a playhouse neighborhood, he lived in the netherworld, and didn't have a job, but this movie had a good cast: Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Christina Ricci, and Michael Keaton as "Beetlejuice." I give this movie **** (4 out of 5).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Love This Movie!
Review: This movie is a very odd movie but I love it because it doesn't follow that Hollywood way to make a movie. This movie stars Winona Ryder who plays Lydia Deitz, who is very sad and depressed. The movie is about a couple who dies and a new family moves into the house and the couple doesn't want them there because the mother wants to redecorate the house. this movie has an all-star cast Geena Davis, Alec baldwin, Catherine O'Hara, Jeffrey jones, and many others. This movie was released the 30th of March 1988. The DVD I think could have been so much better and they could have included deleted scenes and bloopers because you know there has to be some.
