Beetlejuice isn't a demon. He's the ghost with the most, babe.
You just have to watch him turn up the juice and see what shakes loose.
He is a poltergeist. He explains this in the movie
Actually in The Broadway Musical he’s a Demon.
I saw a Halloween costume on Instagram that was called "Juice Demon," and it looked somewhat-but-not-exactly like Beetlejuice. So lawsuit-evading costume designers think he's a demon, at least.
Beetlejuice totally a demon. I can't remember exactly when but he does mention that in the movie.
*_Watches the whole film_*
Ashleigh: " So which one in this whole film is Winona Rider?"
Me: *_blink blink_*
What? Lol who doesn’t know Winona? One of the most famous movie stars of the last 40 years. 🤦♀️ this girl is just to damn young
I knew the whole movie by the fact she kept calling her the daughter she had no idea it was Winona. I was just like wow! However, i laughed my ass off when she said shrimp was ruined for her during the possession scene
Winona hasn't changed so much, either. My God she was so pretty
That is problem with this generation, they know Winona only because of Stranger things.
@Mike Supr lol, i knew about Winona waaaaaaaaay before I watched Stranger Things, and I'm gen z.
This was one of my favorite movies as a kid and still is as an adult. Michael Keaton's acting and makeup is phenomenal. He's totally unrecognizable.
The cartoon too and the toys, me and my brother watched this as little kids and honestly I thought it was a kids movie back then
Micheal Keaton was also staring in Clean and Sober in theaters at the same time as Beetlejuice. I think he showed incredible range as an actor.
He said this was his favorite character.
....the fact that you keep talking about Schitt's Creek and NOT Home Alone when talking about Catherine O'Hara tells me that you desperately need to watch Home Alone!
The fact you keep talking about Catherine O’Hara in home alone and not in SCTV tells me you desperately need to watch SCTV.
@@richardforgetcanada No one knows WTF SCTV is.
@@Totenglocke42 hahahahaha omg well then maybe you should research it because everybody from Catherine O’Hara, Martin short, John candy, Eugene Levy and more starred in it.
@@Totenglocke42 that's an incredibly ignorant thing to say on the internet. More like everybody over 40 knows what it was
@@georgekappos3222 LOL, no. I'm 36 and I'm the youngest in my family by a decade. None of my older relatives have heard of it.
Ashleigh: "I didn't know Winona Ryder was in other things."
Me: *chokes on drink*
She was mean to Edward Scissorhands so I did not like her for 25 years but then she died in a horrible transporter accident in Star Trek (2009) as Spock's mom Amanda Grayson, so I forgave her.
@GozerTheTraveller The most understand coment ever
She was the "It" girl from 1989 to around 1992. Then, after Hollywood chewed on her for awhile, she went partially Lohan and faded.
GozerTheTraveller - not to mention be arrested for drunk driving and or other drug related incidents.
@GozerTheTraveller Blame this two-sided shit where it belongs....The media.
Ashleigh: I don't even know who's in it.
Keaton: I'm Batman.
(with Batman growl) I'm Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, BEETLEJUICE!
Even his eyebrows make the bat symbol of course he's Batman
You get the reference, right? Batman 1989, starred Michael Keaton and was directed by...TIM BURTON!!!
"I've seen The Exorcist 167 times, and it keeps getting FUNNIER! EVERY! SINGLE! TIME! I SEE IT!"
Not to mention the fact that you're talking to a dead guy!!!
Now what do you think? Do you think I'm qualified?
One of my favorite lines!
"A young Catherine O´Hara, she´is gorgeous!"
Me: Oh, that girl knows cinema. :)
A young Winona appears: "Whois that?"
"old movies"
*cries in Gen X*
hahahhaa
@@awkwardashleigh "laughs in millennial"
Yeah, that sent a bit of a jolt through me as well.
😭😭😭😭. I feel you my fellow "slacker" 😭😭😭😭
We watched this for my 10th birthday party on VHS it had recently come out
“a lot of chaotic energy” That’s a great way to describe Beetlejuice.
I'd venture a guess that he's a Chaotic Neutral in the old D&D alignment categories...
@@barefootanimist I'd go with chaotic evil considering the attempt to marry a teenager against her will, among other things. Also Juno implied worse would happen if he got loose.
One of my favorite things about this movie is that it came out in the pre-CGI days... stop-motion effects are so much trippier
As well as practical effects! And the make up design! Beetlejuice is amazing
Top pics for other Winona Ryder films to watch are:
- Heathers
- Edward Scissorhands
- Girl, Interrupted
Reality Bites
Bram stoker's Dracula
great balls of fire
Mermaids! w. Cher and Christina Ricci
Heathers was a good movie
Holy Crap! A reactor just coming out and saying "I didn't care for it." I like it. Most reactors just lamely love everything, a frankly I'm sick of it. Good for you! You like what you like, and it's not like you have unrealistic expectations.. Keep it up.
That's one thing I'll never do - lie about something if I didn't like it.
@@awkwardashleigh
Never lie about your bad taste :) I love the movie.
Yeah, I love this film, but at the same time I also hate mindless group think where it seems like a lot of people say they love a movie just because of popular opinion (cough***Star Wars***cough!)
Or they just appreciate more movies? This is a great movie because it's a great movie.....not just because other people say it'a a great movie.
@@fuckamericanidiot but it's not a great movie.
There is something essentially heartbreaking about hearing a film you grew up with being described as 'an old movie'!
Betelgeuse is hilarious. It’s not meant to be taken as a serious scary movie.
They call it comedy horror, Gremlins and Ghostbusters are in the same genre.
@@andrewft31 Exactly.
Scary funny, me and my little brother watched this all the time as little kids
I consider it a dark comedy.
Let's be bluntly honest, both "ET" and "Betelgeuse" came out in years that provided very little in quality competition.
Note that this is Tim Burton's first time working with Michael Keaton (Beetlejuice) before he had him as Batman, and his first time working with Winona Ryder (Lydia) before she was in his Edward Scissorhands. And that "I myself am strange and unusual" needs to be one of those movie quotes that everyone says.
Now, since you're a confessed fan of Schitt's Creek, after October you need to check out "A Mighty Wind". It's part of a collection of movies made by Christopher Guest (also including "This is Spinal Tap", "Waiting for Guffman", and "Best in Show"), and besides the people Guest always puts in his films it has Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara as a one-time folk-singing duo brought back together for a tribute concert. Levy's eyebrows have never been more insane.
You need to check out all of the Christopher Guest Movies. You will love Best in Show.
Later this movie was turned into a Saturday morning cartoon with a few changes, the main couple was removed and the relationship between Lydia and Beetlejuice is more of friendship with them entering each others worlds and having crazy adventures.
Irember that show :) Loved it :) favorite scene, Betelgeuse gets eaten then spit out by a moat monster .. He hits the ground then quips "WOAH! I didin't expectorate that!" The puns ran thick :)
@ebulating well, that is the thing with puns.. the worse they are, the better they are.. :)
I like that you admit when you don’t like something. I feel like a lot of youtubers lie and say they like everything.
I like to keep it real!
I'll echo Jay's kudos- you don't fake it for us, Ashleigh, and that's just awesome.
And I tend to agree- there are some great bits- 'Day-O' and that last scene- but they're too few to make the whole worth my effort.
That said- Gina Davis used to babysit one of my best friends when Gina was a teen on Cape Cod. And she's just adorable; check out 'A League of Their Own' some time
For the record I freaking love beetle juice.
Glad she's honest about it, don't quite understand it but that's cool. People look at me like I just admitted to enjoying clubbing baby seals as a hobby when I tell them I'm not a fan of Unforgiven; love the actors, like the cinematography, the story was ok, but combined it just didn't work for me. Each to there own. LOL
I haven't come across those. Everytime I watch a react channel the person puts on a fake "performance", throughout the film, and then trashes the movie and talks about how bad "old" movies are, although I happen to agree on this one...never liked _Beetlejuice._
They _Do,_ however, always lie and say the _Star Wars_ movies are good, because they're afraid of the backlash they would get, when everyone knows all those movies sucked ass.
It is a product of it's time, I was 11 when this came out, a Beetlejuice was the catch phrase factory for me and my friends for the entire year. Not a day would go by and someone would turn to the other and say "It's Showtime!"
I was 4 when it came out but I still remember watching it as a 7 or 8 year old, and kids at school would quote nice fukn model honk honk, plus the cartoon and toys which u might have been too old for kept the franchise going
Keaton is fantastic in this. I think 90 percent of his lines were improvised.
Beetlejuice is one of those "you had to be there" movies. When it came out it had a unique energy and was like nothing else. It really made an impact on viewers. As it is now, with everything that has come since, it is fun nostalgia for those who saw it Oiginally but I can see how it fails to impress a modern viewer. The effects are dated, the best bits have been done a million times over and what remains unique to this movie is not enough to leave a big impression.
However, being of a generation that saw this in theaters and loved it, the recycled aspects are fondly remembered for starting here, the effects remind me of a simpler time and then there is the fact that Day-O (The Banana Boat Song) and Jump In The Line will forever bring back fond memories of this movie.
Thank you for sharing your review. I wish it could have had the same impact it had on a 12 year old seeing it for the first time in 1988, but it is perfectly understandable that it didn't, and realistically couldn't. Never worry that when your opinion differs from the requestors. After all, if everyone had the exact same opinion on a movie there would be no point in seeing what other people thought of the movie. It is your unique take that people are interested in, even if it might not match their expectations. Anyone who complains just doesn't get the point of this whole exercise. We are here for your opinion, not theirs.
Keep up the good work.
True
Not gonna lie, the only reason why I have The Banana Boat Song in my collection is because of this movie.
Yeah, I really liked Beetlejuice as a kid/teen, but I rewatched it recently and I didn't feel like it held up very well.
👍👍
@@SuddenReal That and the Muppet Show did it in one of their episodes. Every time I hear it I flash back to one or the other.
I was 12 when this movie came out. I didn't even know there were girls like Lydia, I was completely enamored.
I was too! I remember walking to the theater to watch it. I thought Lydia was the best.
Winona Ryder was a childhood crush for many born in the early eighties.
My type of lady 😍
@@whatsawhizzerwebnovels4927And the mid-70s and the late 60s.
I felt exactly like you the first time I saw Beetlejuice. But I gave it a 2nd watching and absolutely fell in love with it. I got so much more of the humor the 2nd time I watched it and now it's one of my all-time favorites.
Edward Scissorhands, Reality Bites, Girl Interrupted, Heathers, Autumn in New York, Little Women, and Mermaids are all good movies or cult classics that you should see. All star Wynona Ryder.
Big Daddy
Oops I meant Mr. Deed's
Bram Stoker's Dracula!
I've seen the first 4 multiple times. But then, I'm an 80s kid all grown up lol
Mermaids has Cher, so she'd be all over that. She loves Cher.
I have to share my Beetlejuice story. I was 14 and a group of friends all went to the movie theater together to go see Beetlejuice. After watching it, all of our reactions to it were exactly the same as yours. Several years later and after appreciating several other campy movies, my appreciation for Beetlejuice grew. I now love watching this movie and watch it whenever it's on. So, in my opinion Beetlejuice is a movie that subverts expectation and once you accept it for what it is, it's a fantastic, enjoyable movie to watch.
100%
It's a creative explosion. Burton introduces a lot of strange ideas with no explanation in successive scenes. The first time you watch it is confusion, but it sort of morphs into appreciation that the movie doesn't waste time explaining anything or talking down to the audience.
Edward Scissorhands is another Tim Burton film starring Rider and Johnny Depp
Ben Whitney Great suggestion. I think Ashleigh would like that one a LOT more.
@@berkeleygirllaserbeam just gotta get past that one scene with the hair dresser sexually assaulting Edward lol
....I would have put Edward Scissorhands above this one in the list of must-see. ;)
One of the most beautiful movies ever!
Beware! Edward Sissorhands is one of the saddest movies I've ever seen. I sat in the theater and cried for 15 minutes after that movie was over.
Bravo 👏Beetlejuice is 1000% a cult classic!
"Edward Scissorhands" is another Tim Burton classic for your "Spooky Season" viewing list.
Edward Scissorhands also has Winona Ryder
@@youngbloodk As a blonde, no less!
partially filmed at a Publix Supermarket in my home town
If she didn’t like this I doubt she’d like Ed
I’d say that’s a Christmas movie lol that and gremlins are my favourite Christmas movies
I really love this movie. The clueless parents, the teenage angst, the ghost normies trying to figure out how to be scary. And of course, Michael Keaton just being whole levels of extra! It's so much fun and the music is kinda iconic. You might want to give it another chance watching it with a fan. Sometimes movies are more fun with others than by yourself.
"...I've seen The Exorcist 137 times, and it JUST KEEPS GETTIN *FUNNIER,* EVERY time I see it! Not to mention the fact that you're talkin to a dead guy!"
Yes, and sometimes a movie can catch you off guard the first time. When you know what to expect, a second viewing can let it grow on you.
If you want more young Alec Baldwin check out ‘The Hunt for Red October’ from 1990.
Alec was perfect to play Jack Ryan.
One of my all time favorite movies and it was such a great book
Good Movie.
You must watch Miami Blues if you like to watch extremely sexy, young and crazy Baldwin.
"Red October" was exactly what I thought of when she said she liked her some young Alec.
"It just wasn't good."
Yes it was. The film is a classic. It just wasn't for you.
It is an awesome movie
So her opinion is not valid but yours is? If she says its bad? Totally fine. If you say its good? Totally fine too but dont act like your opinion is a fact
@@themiIes It is, though.
@@kurtrivero368 thats not how opinions work
@@themiIes Word.
OMG, you are so FUNNY and I love you!!! I love your reactions, and I connect with your discoveries of the movies. Please please please please keep making your videos, I am a lifelong fan! Lots of luv!!!
OH wowowow!! Thank you so much! 🥰
"Don't know what I was expecting, but I wasn't expecting THAT!" I about rolled out of my chair laughing.
I loved Beetlejuice, the chaotic energy of Michael Keaton was great, it was pure, off the wall, zany, shock value comedy and it's what made him so lovable. But I can see why you didn't care for him, since that shock value has decreased over the years. Don't worry Ash, we still love ya.
Note: your comment "could have gone my whole life without seeing this movie" is exactly what my girlfriend said about "Spaceballs" and I'm still dating her. So I'll stick around for you. LOL
thank you for your patience with me even though I ddn't like it! hahaah
Spaceballs......seriously. *I* could've gone my whole life without seeing that.....dog. lol
Keaton’s chaotic energy works here, but it is a complete misfire in the Branagh Much Ado About Nothing. Keaton as Dogberry is just cringeworthy.
@@awkwardashleigh Interestingly this is the role that got Keaton the role of Batman.
Please watch Little Shop of Horrors director’s cut. It’s a comedy musical horror movie. All the effects are practical so there is no weird claymation or CGI.
What about the theatrical version of little shops of horrors?
Nathan Cruz the theatrical version is fun too but the director’s cut has the ending that matches the ending of the original play.
Erica Weiner 👌🏻
I mean I just saw both versions of little shops of horrors last year and I liked it.
Watch both versions of the ending but react to the director’s edition. It is the director and cast’s preferred version. The theatrical version differs due to focus group testing that hated it, so they had to make changes.
Ashleigh: "Why did she just lick his nose?"
Me: Because if she kissed him, it would smudge her lipstick.
My husband told me about your channel and he has had to “shh” me from laughing so loud! 😂 👍🤓🙏😇❤️
You should watch Heathers if you want to watch a really good Wiona Ryder.
Don't forget Christian Slater
My Fiancee Loves the Musical
My sentiments exactly. A great dark comedy.
Efff me gently with a chainsaw
It's very
If you want to watch a great Winona Ryder movie you MUST watch “Heathers”.
Oh, yeah, that's got the guy from Star Trek VI in it (Christian Slater) :) :) :)
Heathers!!!
It's very
YES!!
God, I haven't thought of Heathers in years. Thumbs up.
Try Winona Ryder in Bram Stoker's Dracula. 1992 release and a great version of a gothic classic. Think you might like Gary Oldman as the young version of Count Dracula too.
This is one of my all-time favorite movies just love it can’t get enough of it!! Hell yeah!
Sleepy Hollow with Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci is a great halloween movie! Yes it's also a Tim Burton film 😃
Agreed
Agreed and seconded.
Excellent suggestion, I'd all but forgotten about that one.
@@johnfriday5169 how could you forget Sleepy Hollow!?!?
Blasphemy!
Be gone peasant!
Don't forget Casper Van Dien! (he had a small role) Starship Troopers FTW!
RE: Young Winona Ryder - check out Heathers for an absurdly dark and darkly comic take on a serious issue (I don't wanna give it away). Also, a young Christian Slater doing his best Jack Nicholson impression. The first half hour, in particular, is just such a tightly-edited delight.
Heathers: aw, HELL yes.
When I was in college I had an older friend (he worked as a dishwasher but had/has a genius-level intellect) who had Heathers parties usually one a semester. He'd get 60-70 people in his House and we'd watch Heathers in a Rocky Horror Picture Show environment. They were really fun. That was 30 years ago and I still, to this day, have the Sly and the Family Stone version of Que Sera Sera which played over the end credits, in my play list.
Heathers is definitely a must after spooky season. It’s dark, but not spooky.
I would also recommend "Pump Up The Volume" Christian Slater also tackling youth issues in an overlooked movie. (not for spooky season, although dark in many places)
Speaking of young Christian Slater, you might like "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" and "The Name of the Rose," (the latter film he costarred in with Sean Connery).
My all time favorite movie. It was so magical when I was a kid and it just takes me back. 🥰🥰🥰
I remember not liking this when i first watched it, but it grew on me over the years, and i enjoy it now.
Hopefully, you'll get to watch both "Clue" and "Young Frankenstein," before Halloween. Both have the late great Madeline Kahn.
I can only click "Like" once. Quel dommage!
Charles Lee "It's twoo!"
Young Frankenstein! So good!
Yes please to both!!!
Young Frankenstein also has Gene Wilder. Remember how you liked Gene Wilder? You'll like more in this.
Catherine O'Hara rules in Best in Show and A Mighty Wind.
came here to write exactly this!
She was also great on nightmare before Christmas.
Christmas is just around the corner!
Home Alone I & II!!!
If you like Catherine Ohara and Schitts Creek check out Christopher Guest movies starring some of the same cast.
@@tonymoyer2817 movie " Best of Show ".
Some Hitchcock for Hallowe’een? “Rear Window” “The Birds”? anyone??
"I feel so bad for this man"
That's Jeffrey Jones. DO NOT feel bad for him.
I just looked him up. I had no idea. HOW is this dude still working?
@@NESninja1982 it was 2003, he was on the sex offenders register and underwent counselling. In the 17 years since he hasn't reoffended. Looks like the counselling worked.
I was thinking the same thing. But he's back in hollywood?!?!
I'm sure she didn't know about his past transgressions. But even if she did, there are some people who can separate a movie character from the person who is playing that character. I think it's perfectly valid to feel bad for Charles Deetz.
Catherine O’Hara was the mom in home alone and Jeffery Jones the dad in this movie was the principle in Ferris Bueller .
Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
Also Sleepy Hollow (Tim Burton)
Just don't look up Jeffrey Jones in real life if you don't want to get depressed.
Edward Scissorhands... A classic. Johnny Depp and Winona. I fell in love with her in this movie.
Ashleigh, Beetlejuice is an acquired taste! It keeps getting funnier, every time I see it! BTW, my wife really hates it too.
Definitely an acquired taste, don't worry about not being a fan.
Beetlejuice not being what people expect is true even for people who've seen it before. I catch it on TV or otherwise stumble onto it every few years and it's never quite how I remember it.
@Craig Gibbons
I think it's hilarious, my S.O., not so much. Which is disappointing: I so want to use the line "I'm feeling a little...anxious" with her! 🙂
Yep, Tim Burton can be an acquired taste, his movie's or either really loved or meh to people. I liked Edward Scissorhands but I just can't get behind The Nightmare Before Christmas.
You should watch Tucker and Dale vs Evil, you'll probably love it.
YASSSS! YOU REALLY SHOULD WATCH THIS!! OMGITHINKYOULLENJOYIT!!!
That's an epic movie. Love Alan Tudyk
Really well done movie. Seems to be highly underrated.
This is such a good film.
Yes! So f'n good.
I recommend the Frighteners - Michael J Fox stars, Peter Jackson directs
Frighteners is great! Jeff Combs deserved an Oscar for the role of "Milton Dammers".
i wish i could like this comment 100 times
Yes. Frighteners flew under my radar for years because I dismissed it as one of those really cheesy slasher flims, don't know why. My older brother made me watch it and I instantly loved it Jeffrey Combs knocks it out of the park, and I loved him as Weyoun on Deep Space 9.
"You are violating my territorial bubble!" Frighteners is so underrated.
100% need to do it
I just discovered your channel, and I really appreciate that you perfectly play the role of "friend I'm showing a movie I love". You react exactly how you'd want someone to react, and it makes this so enjoyable. My new favorite react channel.
You don't need to love every movie! We're here for YOUR reactions. Fun facts: Tim burton's first big movie was Pee Wee's Big Adventure (crazy silly). Tim burton directed Michael Keaton in the Original Batman movie (1989). Beetlejuice was wearing an outfit very similar to Jack Skellington when he broke out of the table to save the Deetzs' during the exorcism scene.
"This is why I watch those OLD movies"
And another piece of me dies.
HAHAHAA
Right?? I’m like “it’s not old it’s in color” 😂
It's better than some of the crap them youngins' got.
...wait, why the hell am I talking like that? I'm not even in my thirties yet.
@@joshuagross3151 Now, get off my lawn!
@@lito6062 turn it DOWN! That isn't music!
I think you’d like “Edward Scissorhands” better, more layers and romance for your “heart” haha
absolutely!!
Young Johnny Depp! With knives.
I showed Edward Scissorhands to my kids not too long ago. My wife wasn't thrilled about that, but they liked it.
That movie was freaking awful. soooo boring.
There will be ugly crying.
This is a favorite movie from my childhood but I completely understand your reaction. Though I will say, this is one of those movies that gets better each time you watch it. The first time you miss a lot. I like that you say how you really feel, even when it breaks my heart 😉💚
I think your movie reviews are probably the most entertaining on CZcams...I'm constantly laughing 🤣👍
So you don’t know Catherine O’Hara from Home Alone...? One for the Xmas season!
Richard Dreyfuss, Bill Murray in
"WHAT ABOUT, BOB?"
It starts with baby steps, then Richard's character get crazy. It is a comedy
Such a good movie
Richard Dreyfuss: Who's Life is it Anyway
I've said it before and I'll say it again. One thing to love about Ashleigh, is she's very down to earth and will not pretend to gush over a movie she doesn't like just because everyone wants her to do that. You don't feel like she's acting in her videos. Just her being her. I have nothing but respect for that.
My favorite scene is the one at the dinner party! I could rewatch that over and over and over again!
I hardly ever leave a comment, but Mel Brooks did a reanimated monster movie Young Frankenstein, and you should definitely watch it. There's also Dracula: Dead and Loving It...
I love those movies. great suggestions.
Dracula dead and loving it wasn't that good there is a reason it was the last mel Brooks movie
Young Frankenstein is definitely on the way!
@@ingibingi2000 The Producers. 2005 musical.
@@Alexeya13 far, FAR better than the original movie with Gene Wilder, and I love Gene. But the movie wasn't kinda slow and didn't carry very well, while the musical was hilarious, Nathan Lane was fantastic, didn't care much for Matthew Broderick. But he had a few moments. So yeah. Definitely go with the remake. In this rare case, it's way better than the original.
Young Frankenstein. Please! It’s Halloween themed AND it’s Mel Brooks.
ITS COMING!!! :)
Werewolf?
There!
What?
(Pointing) There wolf!
So is Dracula: Dead and Loving it
@@awkwardashleigh Young Frankenstein was one of Mel Brooks' best movies. On the other hand, Dracula: Dead and Loving It was a flop and I don't know why people are recommending it, so, please don't waste a reaction on that turkey.
For whatever reason, my friends and I really dug this movie, I believe I saw it at least 10 times in the theater. Danny Elfman"s score is amazing and there are just so many quotable lines in it, it really captured my imagination. I'm sorry you didn't like it, but I'm not flaming you over it, people have different tastes. If I didn't stop watching your content over not liking Monty Python and the Holy Grail, I wasn't gonna stop over this.
“A lot of chaotic energy!” Like a testicle with teeth! Or like me when I’m drunk! Love and adore this movie it is my all time favorite! Just a one of a kind, very creative special effects without the use of cgi, pretty imaginative, Danny elfmans score is awesome, Michael keatons performance is extraordinary, because of the success of beetlejuice we got Batman one year later even though I was only 3 years old and don’t remember until Batman returns came out in 92. Respect you’re opinion but you’re wrong! :) and I would love to be the podcast guest for beetlejuice!
Key Winona Ryder movies from her younger years (a bit older than here): Edward Scissorhands, Heathers, Mermaids, Reality Bites
Mr Deeds! Winona is HOT despite being a klepto.
Really quite a contrast seeing her in this movie and seeing her in Stranger Things. Was funny that Ashleigh didn't even recognize her at first.
@@adamdarmstaedter1256 not really her youth. I think he meant prior to adulthood.
Best Winona Ryder movie is “Heathers” from 1989. The funniest teenage suicide movie ever!
Big Fun!
I definitely agree. As well, Ashleigh's manic energy would certainly get a lot of mileage out of that movie's high-school hijinks. "Heathers" may not be Halloween-themed, but it is a DARK comedy that's well-cast and eminently quotable. Recommended for a non-Monday screening.
Thank you! I was just going to suggest that... Heathers is a must.
And it has Otho from Beetlejuice in it too!
Better off Dead is in the mix
I was eating food when watching this. When I heard your comment “Is this what acid is like?” I legit spit out my food from laughing so hard. Your videos are epic.
Beetlejuice is a masterpiece! Best movie from 1988. A year with a lot of great movies.
Don't even trip. I personally LOVE Beetlejuice, but, yo, different strokes for different folks.
Thank you for at least giving it a shot 💞😊💞
I tried! :)

FYI - Young Frankenstein is Mel Brooks' best! Must watch - perfect for Halloween
YES!
It's coming! :)
@@awkwardashleigh As mentioned above, try to watch the "original" Frankenstein first. Your reviews are entertaining! Good job!
@@awkwardashleigh You'll enjoy YF a LOT more if you've first seen all three original FRANKENSTEIN movies with BORIS KARLOFF.
Young Frankenstein makes reference to all three. In order, they are:

Young Frankenstein is practically a third sequel!
This is one of my favorite movies ever. I love Beetlejuice. It's just so damn weird.
Ashleigh: So they just realized they're dead and they haven't shed a tear.
You just made me realize something I really appreciate about a lot of Geena Davis' characters, is that she never takes a lot of time to have emotional breakdowns, she always seems to have more of any analytic mind about her and spends more time problem solving her situation, as opposed to being upset over things that are out of her control.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. Just really appreciate that about her characters.
Beetlejuice is the title and the most remembered character...but he's only on screen for like 17 minutes in the movie.
They cartoon was good if you were a kid, it was more Beetlejuice centered, all the crazy toys too
Tim Burton has his own style and for some people is a love-it-or-hate-it situation. But I´d recommend Edward Scissorhands, Big Fish (my favorite), Ed Wood and, of course, Batman (1989) and Batman Returns.
Sleepy Hollow?
Big Fish is hands down the best Tim Burton movie, IMO too! I would love to see her reaction to that one, good call!
Nightmare before Christmas is the crown jewel
@@2chaskell which he didn't direct 😂
My favorite is probably Edward Scissorhands. But I also love Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Beetlejuice, Ed Wood and Batman of course.
Prince Valium isn’t actually a Mel Brooks reference. It was a slang term for the drug of the same name. It was often used to treat anxiety, withdrawal syndrome and insomnia.
Alec was in his late 20's when he did this movie, so the movie released just prior to his 30th birthday
"I thought Beetlejuice would be different"
From what? A Tim Burton movie? It is what it is. LOL
Well... I have never watched any other Tim Burton movies so 🤷🏼♀️
@@awkwardashleigh ...not even Batman?!?
@Ashleigh Burton If you do watch anymore classic Tim Burton movies, you really need to drop your typical expectations. It's a style and once you have figured it out a bit, you might get more enjoyment.
@@wantutosigh1117 Or you figure it out and get bored of it.
@@unominous4759 Just going by her history. This has happened a few times. Of coarse you could be right. But there is so much creativity and bizarre tone in this movie that "boring" is not a typical way to describe it. It's not like any other movies. Beetlejuice himself only being in it for 17 minutes could throw someone off ad well.
Lol, I don’t remember Beetlejuice being anything breakthrough, but it did spark a bit of a craze back in the day. Even had its own cartoon for a while. It’s just fun and I’m sure Michael Keaton had a blast.
The Ashrook cartoons? Ugh.
I know this is old, but this was such a joy to watch. Seeing you discover actors I grew up watching, it was so wholesome and adorable.
Her- “ I could’ve gone my whole life without seeing this movie“
Me- I could’ve gone with my whole life without seeing this video
Midweek Millennial Movie, you're welcome.
@Scott Halloween either or, I'm not picky
OH MY GOD. YES. THANK YOU
@@awkwardashleigh You're welcome hun, keep up the good work.
@Scott Halloween Dang it. You beat me to it by 5 hours.
Hey, they ain’t all gotta be winners. Every movie that ever got roasted was someone else’s favorite, and in my experience, people are pretty chill about that.
As a wise person once said, you do you boo boo.
"Beetlejuice has a lot of chaotic energy."
Dear, Beetlejuice *is* chaotic energy.
Even though I like this movie, I appreciate you saying you didn’t. It tells me you’re not just positively reacting to everything for more clicks. My loyalty to your channel just increased quite a bit!
if you want more Catherine O'Hara: for Christmas watch: Home Alone, for dogs watch: Best In Show, for something musical: A Mighty Wind
Best in Show is so hilarious! But you have to know that the whole movie is improvised.
She’s also Sally and Locke in Nightmare before Christmas
No, no, no. Schitt's Creek. Thank me later.
I loved Best in Show!
SCTV episodes.
I'd love to see the reaction to the Rocky Horror Picture Show, if you want absurd.....
Oh, Lordy, I’m not sure if she’s ready. If she didn’t like this one? I don’t know...
But I do a Tim Curry double feature every Halloween. Rocky Horror and Clue.
@@TheCatandCrystalWitch great combo. If you like clue, watch murder by death. A poke at all the old dime novel detectives
Oh yes! Yes! YES! :D
@@EiriUesugiKun OMG Clue would be nice
I've just watched a few of your videos and enjoyed them, but this made me a sub because of your honesty.
Catherine O'Hara was also in the "Home Alone" series of movies...
And she was also in a sweet little Silas Marner-based movie called "A Simple Twist of Fate".
She was only in the first 2 Home Alone movies.
Have you ever seen “Thelma & Louise” or “A League Of Their Own”? They’re both good Geena Davis movies (Barbara).
Tom Hanks hitting the kid in the face with a glove will never stop being funny to me.
"Earth Girls Are Easy" is one of my favorite movies. It's so cheesy and so funny. Geena Davis, Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey..
@Bacta Work LOL all y'all adding "Thelma & Louise", "Earth Girls are Easy" and "The Fly" and I'm just waiting for her comments about seeing young Brad Pitt and young Jeff Goldblum.
She's fantastic in _The Long Kiss Goodnight._
Yes, she has but not at the time you wrote this, lol A league of their own was the first Ashleigh video I watched, she really like Gina Davis in it so I was disappointed when she didn't recognize her in this
"Which one is Winona Ryder?" ASHLEIGH!!! Also, breaking my heart again with the E.T. hate. ;)
IM THE WORST. I've just never seen her young!!! :D
@@awkwardashleigh You're forgiven.
@@awkwardashleigh a great young Winona Ryder movie "Heathers" with another sexy leading man for the times, Christian Slater
It's ok, I saw ET in the theatre release and to this day, it's just meh....
Girl interrupted was wynonas best movie
Girl Interrupted is a really powerful movie and my favorite of Wynona Ryder’s roles. It’s a good movie to watch in fall time so it would make a good November movie between the Halloween and Christmas Season.
I think most people here know Catherine O’Hara from Home Alone as Kevin’s mom
Or from SCTV.
On the movie poster: "'As good as E.T.!' -Ashleigh Burton" :D
There can be no higher praise. :'-(
When movies get advertised as being "as good as [enter name of well known movie here]", they usually suck big time
Them dancing around at the dinner part is the only part that stands out for me lol other than that the Beetlejuice cartoon is what I remember the most which start off where this movie ends. With Lydia living with 2 ghosts for foster parents and Beetlejuice as her companion.
Ive seen the exorcist 355 times and it keeps getting better EVERY TIME I SEE IT - one of the funniest lines from that movie.
Valium is an anxiety medicine that was also prescribed for insomnia and panic attacks. It's also known as Mother's Little Helper. In the late 60's- early 80's it was the most widely prescribed drug. Most commonly given to housewives to help take the edge off their day. Due to it's wide use the idiom, "sleeping with Prince Valium" came to mean someone popped (usually more than recommended dosage) valium and has basically passed out from it.
