Cinema Under the Stars: "Beetlejuice"

_The Goonies _(1988) Director: Tim Burton Genre: Fantasy Run Time: 93 minutes Rating: PGThanks to the carelessness of a cute little dog, newlyweds Geena Davis [https://www.allmovie.com/artist/geena-davis-p17342] and Alec Baldwin [https://www.allmovie.com/artist/alec-baldwin-p3515] 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 [https://www.allmovie.com/artist/davis-p17342] and Baldwin [https://www.allmovie.com/artist/baldwin-p3515] must occupy their old house as ghosts for the next fifty years. Alas, the house is now owned by insufferable yuppies Catherine O’Hara [https://www.allmovie.com/artist/catherine-ohara-p53463] and Jeffrey Jones [https://www.allmovie.com/artist/jeffrey-jones-p36137]. Horrified at the prospect of sharing space with these obnoxious interlopers, Davis [https://www.allmovie.com/artist/davis-p17342] and Baldwin [https://www.allmovie.com/artist/baldwin-p3515] do their best to scare O’Hara and Jones [https://www.allmovie.com/artist/jones-p36137] 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 [https://www.allmovie.com/artist/michael-keaton-p37277]). The problem: BEETLEJUICE CANNOT BE TRUSTED-especially when he falls in love with O’Hara and Jones [https://www.allmovie.com/artist/jones-p36137]‘ gloomy, black-clad teenaged daughter Winona Ryder [https://www.allmovie.com/artist/winona-ryder-p62446]. Beetlejuice [https://www.allmovie.com/movie/beetlejuice-v4624] producer David Geffen [https://www.allmovie.com/artist/david-geffen-p91221], director Tim Burton [https://www.allmovie.com/artist/tim-burton-p83666], and composer Danny Elfman [https://www.allmovie.com/artist/danny-elfman-p88821] were also involved in an animated TV-series spin-off. ------------------------- ABOUT CINEMA UNDER THE STARS: Every Tuesday night at sundown we’ll be screening a free film as part of our summer series _Cinema Under the Stars [https://www.ciaatcopia.com/cinema-under-the-stars/]. _Screenings will be held outdoors in the Copia Gardens in front of The CIA at Copia, so bring a blanket and cozy up with friends or loved ones!
