"I Don't Think We Survived That Crash!"

Rating: 7/10 (29 June 2012)

Michael Keaton, Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Winona Ryder, Jeffrey Jones and Catherine O'Hara star in Tim Burton's 1988 supernatural comedy. Adam (Baldwin) and Barbara (Davis) Maitland are a married couple who die from a car accident while on vacation. They become ghosts stranded in their house with an obnoxious living family, the Dietz's who've just moved in changing everything. They try scaring them out and decide to contact mischievous ghost, Beetlejuice (Keaton) to help them. When Beetlejuice gets out of hand, Adam and Barbara try to stop him. Ryder plays teen girl, Lydia Dietz who befriends the Maitlands and Beetljuice falls for. Jones and O'Hara play her parents, Charles and Delia. I've liked this since I was a kid and think it's one of Burton's best with a great cast, neat effects and excellent score by Danny Elfman as usual. I recommend this 80's classic.
