CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton) tries to get Lydia (Winona Ryder) to say his name three times so he can escape into the world of the living.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Thanks to the carelessness of a cute little dog, newlyweds Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin are killed in a freak auto accident. Upon arriving in the outer offices of Heaven, the couple finds that, thanks to a century's worth of bureaucratic red tape, they're on a long celestial waiting list. Before they can earn their wings, Davis and Baldwin must occupy their old house as ghosts for the next fifty years. Alas, the house is now owned by insufferable yuppies Catherine O'Hara and Jeffrey Jones. Horrified at the prospect of sharing space with these obnoxious interlopers, Davis and Baldwin do their best to scare O'Hara and Jones away, but their house-haunting skills are pathetic at best. In desperation, the ghostly couple engage the services of a veteran scaremeister: a yellow-haired, snaggle-toothed, profane, flatulent "gonzo" spirit named Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton). The problem: Beetlejuice cannot be trusted-especially when he falls in love with O'Hara and Jones' gloomy, black-clad teenaged daughter Winona Ryder. Beetlejuice producer David Geffen, director Tim Burton, and composer Danny Elfman were also involved in an animated TV-series spin-off.

    When he said "why"? That part really stood out to me.
  • @EATIT41
    I just love how even beetlejuice is like "why ? " when lydia wants to die. I mean it's a kinda subtle moment that maybe he actually does care
  • “Why” That line delivery always got me. It’s not mocking, it’s not sarcastic, it’s not even demeaning. It’s soft, almost whispered. He’s genuinely confused, and the way he says it makes me believe if it had been a different circumstance he would have wanted to keep on that topic.
  • Beetlejuice:"TURN AROUND & LOOK BEHIND YOU!!!!" Beetle:"Hi how are ya?" Gets me everytime. I can't stop laughing. God I love Beetlejuice.
  • @mochimorina7042
    “...why?” this line always stood out to me. the delivery is fantastic. he’s not mocking her, or joking, or being sarcastic, or playing a character. it’s the only genuine thing that beetlejuice says in the entire movie. this dead man, obsessed with the idea of being alive, is mind-blown at the fact that a living girl wants to be dead. in just one word, he communicates that death isn’t something to wish upon yourself, and that life is a precious thing that shouldn’t go to waste. it’s incredibly powerful.
  • @B1izzardHawk
    I think he was being sincere when he had said, "this whole dead thing grabs and eats a bug it's just too creepy"
  • @TeamRemForever
    "Just say it!!" "Um.. I'm gonna talk to Barbra" "No you dont need to talk to Barbra!!"
  • @kimlockman9390
    Lydia: I wanna get in. BJ:....Why? That part always sounded so odd. I feel like Beetle Juice was genuinely facinated by Lydia. She's the only character in the entire movie that actually wants to die while everyone else is so adamant about living.
  • @KarlaHolland
    I'll always appreciate Minute Maid for allowing their product in such a great moment.
  • @James-Ram
    "Turn around and look behind you!" "Hi, how are you?" Hehehehe! I've always loved that scene with the beetle
  • “Why?” That line delivery is amazing. I wish the broadway musical kept it, but the musical is still good
  • @moshomaniac1
    I don't know if anybody has mentioned this yet, but the original director for this film was going to be Wes Craven. Of course, back then, the film was going to be far darker and less comedic. The Maitland's death was going to be more graphic, the deetzes were to have a second younger daughter named Cathy, which Beetlejuice was going to horrifically mutilate while in the form of a rabid squirrel, and he was going to want to rape Lydia instead of marry her. I'm actually glad they changed it and made it funnier.
  • @emily7103
    No you don't needtotalktobarbara just SAY IT! Lol
  • @funkeystudiostv
    I love how everyone else is thinking about the “why” line.
  • I always took that “Why?” Beetlejuice gave as a “Are you insane? Have you seen the afterlife? You think living sucks, just wait until you see the afterlife” Which is why he wanted to marry Lydia is because he wants to be alive again.
  • @Kitama23
    "...why?" That's a really good line.
  • I first knew this guy from the cartoon, I then saw the film and didn't realize how maniacal beetle juice really was. He is a full on antagonist.
  • @B1izzardHawk
    "I gotta say, this dead thing is- [grabs beetle and eats it] -it's just too creepy..." can't argue with that logic.
  • @Lammy4ever7
    Man, they cut if off right before the end of "You don't need to talk to Barbara!" line.  That's the funniest delivery the whole movie.
  • @latymz
    Every time he gets close to getting out, he gets too aggressive and blows the opportunity 🤣😂🤣. Hilarious 😂😆.
