Beetlejuice

I certainly feel no need to ramble on about this classic dark comedy from Tim Burton. It is probably Michael Keaton's best role, Gena Davis and Alec Baldwin are simply great as are Winona Ryder and Catherine O'Hara. The late Michael McDowell, who also scripted THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, gave Burton a truly wonderful story to work with and though some of the effects, never mind that it took the Oscar for Best Makeup, appear substandard the film as a whole is still pure magic.
