Great Movie Which SCREAMS for a Special Edition DVD
I won't go into detail about the movie itself, which has been reviewed in much greater detail and much better than I can do at the moment (it is one of my all time favorite movies - 5 stars). I'd like to focus on the DVD for a moment.

This DVD was released in June, 1997, a scant three months after the initial rollout of the DVD format. As such, the inadequate menus and lack of functionality reflect a company just learning its way around the capabilities of the format. The early releases have standard menu designs (with the Warner Logo), standard extras (cast & crew, production notes, trailer (sometimes)), and are usually double-sided with a widescreen format on one side and a fullscreen format on the other. This was all quite adequate for 1997, but....

In 2006, Beetlejuice seems to have been forgotten by Warner. In a time when so many movies have "Special", "Extra Special", "Extra-Extra Special Extended", and "Ultimate" editions, this is one movie which has missed the bandwagon. What's it going to take, Warner? A bio-exorcist??

BEETLEJ.... SPECIAL EDITION, PLEASE!!

5 stars... actually 10 stars for the movie but 1 star for the DVD!
GREAT MOVIE! Tim Burton at his best, so what's up with the really really crappy DVD!? I mean you can't get crappier than this! All the other Burton movies have good DVD's if not fantastic and this one has the crappiest DVD release you can get! GET A SPECIAL EDITION OF BEETLEJUICE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Say 5 times Beetlejuice and hope that it appears again
I really hopes that Beetlejuice would appear again. At least on DVD. Because this is a very poor edition with no extras at all. Just the plain old transfer with no remastered sound or nothing new. The only good extra features in this disc are the spanish and french tracks that doesn't mean that there no spanish and french subtitles also. As with any Tim Burton title, I wish a special edition would come up with all the backstage and in the making footage that make us understand the dificulties of doing a complex (and simple) movie like Beetlejuice.
