Tim Burton's favorite movie ``Beetlejuice''

There are many Tim Burton movies that I like, but `` Beetlejuice '' is my favorite. I watched it for the first time in a while and it was really good. Of course the worldview, art, and humor are great, but the sculpt of Beetlejuice, played by Michael Keaton, is the best.

The story of ``Beetlejuice'' begins when a young couple, played by Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis, die in a car accident. The couple become ghosts and are bound to the house where they lived before their death, but soon the house is put up for sale and new residents move in. Catherine O'Hara plays the troubled artist's wife, Jeffrey Jones plays her husband who is eager to make money, and Winona O'Hara, who would have become an otaku idol in this role (I think), plays Lydia, the strong goth girl who is the son of O'Hara. They are a family of riders.

The ghost couple tries to get the family out of their house in every way possible, but the rookie ghost's amateurish methods don't work at all. Therefore, he seeks help from Beetlejuice, a troublemaker in the spirit world and a ``bio- The Exorcist'' (The Exorcist for the living, not the dead). Michael Keaton plays the high-spirited clown character who also plays the title role. With his pale skin, green hair, and black and white striped suit, Beetlejuice looks like a walking box of surprises. He's a fun character to watch, with tricks popping out from all over his body.
