Beetlejuice has long been one of Tim Burton's most iconic films, and for just cause -- packed to the brim with the over-the-top comedy that Burton is known for, as well as an excellent cast of characters, the movie does everything you could ask of it. There are just a few moments where things drag for a bit, but it has enough charm and captivation to keep you glued to the screen throughout its rather brisk runtime. Michael Keaton steals the show as Betelgeuse, but the rest of the cast is nearly as perfect as he is in the film. The special effects do appear quite dated, but for a 1988 film, I think it's something that you should be able to overlook in spite of the film's genius. And, as always, Danny Elfman comes up with the perfect score to pair with Burton's work to tie a nice bow on the package.
