“He’s guaranteed to put some life, in your afterlife.” ~Beetlejuice (1988)

IMDB Summary: A couple of recently deceased ghosts contract the services of a “bio-exorcist” in order to remove the obnoxious new owners of their house.

Rotten Tomatoes rating: 81%

Why I love it: It’s got charm. Silly, funny, insipid charm.

OK, I admit it. I got behind, and I had a day to fill, and I waited until the last minute. And Beetlejuice was on. So voilà.

Let’s talk about the fact that Beetlejuice 2 has been written, 27 years after the first one. (Read Beetlejuice 2 is Really Happening, Says Winona Ryder on variety.com.) Someone on the IMDB comment boards said it should be called Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Dude. YES. Please do it, Tim Burton, cuz if you do it’ll be the greatest sequel name ever.
