Beetlejuice

Now, I haven't watched this movie since I was a kid, and since Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was going to be out in theaters, I wanted to watch the original to see if it still holds up. And I think it does hold up well. It's still as funny as enjoyable as it was when I was a kid. There are some things that I didn't remember happening in the movie. Like I had no memory of there being a whorehouse in the movie lol. I also kinda forgot that Beetlejuice himself doesn't really show up that much until the halfway point, but of course when he shows up, he steals the show. Michael Keaton is just excellent as Beetlejuice. Actually, I think the whole cast is excellent. The practical effects are still great. I love the use of stop-motion for the sandworm, and the makeup used to change Barbara and Adam's faces are iconic. Even the makeup used for Beetlejuice's look is iconic. It shows the amount of effort into giving it a kooky, spooky feel. This movie is an essential watch for those who want to get into Tim Burton's films, and to me, it's still considered a classic.
