  Fun Trivia Fact: This film is the reason Michael Keaton got cast as Batman. At first the studio didn't think he could play a "dark" character, then they saw this.

  The wife, played by Geena Davis is amazing in "The Long Kiss Goodnight" alongside Samuel Jackson. Edit: I forgot about "A League Of Their Own". Awesome movie Starring her, Tom Hanks and Madonna.

  Most of Michael Keaton’s part as Beetlejuice was 90% ad lib. Tom Burton said go for it!

  Oh, and fun fact: the original ending of the movie had the Deetzes going back to New York leaving Lydia with the Maitlands. They ended up changing the end because parents abandoning their child didn't test well with audiences even back then. 😆

  As parents, you guys should check out Michael Keaton in "Mr. Mom."  Hilarious.

  I love so many of these early Tim Burton movies! This is one I can watch over and over. You’ll have to check out “Edward Scissorhands” too! And I agree with the people who recommend “A League Of Their Own” with Geena Davis…as a sports film I think J will enjoy it 😊

  If you didn't recognize the voice, the song during the dinner scene was "Banana Boat (Day-O)" by Harry Belafonte.    Beetlejuice was my first known exposure to both "Banana Boat (Day-O)" and "Jump in the Line".  When I hear them, I automatically picture the Beetlejuice scenes.

  NOW you can see why we all loved it when you reacted to Harry Belafonte's "Jump In The Line" a couple weeks ago! Great reaction!

  TIm Burton, the director, is the epitome of weird. You might also like Edward Scissorhands.<br>You guys are SO movie deprived, you&apos;ve got lots of work to do!

  So many actors that you will see in other movies in here! The incomparable Geena Davis from the later movie, Thelma &amp; Louise, playing Barbara. Alec Baldwin. The genius, Michael Keaton. Catherine O&apos;Hara from Home Alone and Schitt&apos;s Creek. Jeffrey Jones who was the principal in Ferris Bueller&apos;s Day Off. Winona Ryder, most recently from Stranger Things.
