Tim Burton created a cult classic with his release of Beetlejuice in 1988. Watching Beetlejuice for the first time was an experience unlike any other. I was 9 years old at the time, but I can distinctly remember feeling that this unusual movie was different from all others. I also remember having nightmares for a month after the Beetlejuice snake scene. In the 30 years since my first viewing of Burtons most unusual film, I still cannot think of a movie released that is in any way similar to Beetlejuice. Tim Burton's creation left a lasting impact on viewers, it's absolutely one of a kind. In talking to fans of the flick I've found there are mainly two things they have to say about the movie, #1 being "Beetlejuice has the best quotes" or "this is my favorite line from the film". The second most common happens to be a question, "when is the sequel coming out". Seeing as there is no firm answer on a Beetlejuice 2 release date, we'll enjoy some of my favorite Beetlejuice quotes! A quick recap of the film. The Beetlejuice cast consisted of Geena Davis, Alec Baldwin, and Winona Ryder. It was an odd tale of a couple that died but didn’t know they'd passed on. There was a great dinner/conga line scene accompanied by a perfectly fitting song, Day-O (Banana Boat Song). Upon a family moving into their home they realized their odd situation. Now enter Betelgeuse, a wonderfully dressed fellow played perfectly by Michael Keaton. Beetlejuice promises to make things better for the family by getting rid of the humans who moved in. If that summary hasn't refreshed your memory, you should probably just watch the movie again or say Beetlejuice 3 times!
