Why people love it

People revisit Beetlejuice for the same reason it broke through in 1988: clear stakes, memorable faces, and a comedy rhythm that doesn't stall in the middle. Tim Burton keeps the ensemble pointed in one direction. The fantasy and comedy blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
