Beetlejuice (2/9) Movie CLIP - Netherworld Waiting Room (1988) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Barbara (Geena Davis) and Adam (Alec Baldwin) find themselves trapped in the bureaucracy of the Netherworld. It's a lot like the DMV.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Thanks to the carelessness of a cute little dog, newlyweds Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin 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 and Baldwin must occupy their old house as ghosts for the next fifty years. Alas, the house is now owned by insufferable yuppies Catherine O'Hara and Jeffrey Jones. Horrified at the prospect of sharing space with these obnoxious interlopers, Davis and Baldwin do their best to scare O'Hara and Jones 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). The problem: Beetlejuice cannot be trusted-especially when he falls in love with O'Hara and Jones' gloomy, black-clad teenaged daughter Winona Ryder. Beetlejuice producer David Geffen, director Tim Burton, and composer Danny Elfman were also involved in an animated TV-series spin-off.

HIT US UP:

[RamnaViaz]

I love the cigarette guy, that single scene was a better anti smoking PSA than anything I ever saw in school or on tv.

[UneedaMedicalSupply]

Later on in the film, Otho makes a comment about people who commit suicide end up civil servants in the afterlife. Pretty clever callback to Ms. Argentina and her slit wrists.

[jasonalba]

The type of people u actually see at the hospital when ur waiting to see a doctor lol

[JustSomeCanadianGuy]

"Trying to cut down, myself."

[greatgownsbeautifulgowns]

Geena Davis’ reactions/expressions were so entertaining throughout this whole movie.

[vartistry]

Never realized the "slit wrist" joke till now...

[ryanmartin]

If I knew now what I knew then, then I wouldn't have had my little accident - came here just to hear that bit again .

[carsilk]

As a six year old, this movie sparked my love for horror-comedy! Crazy to think that basically this whole cast is or was a huge star for most of their careers

[chukolance]

This whole sequence is one of the best Anti suicide messages ever. Condemned to all-time as a bureaucrat. A fate worse than death.

[StonedMeadowOfDoom]

The shrunken head guy is oddly terrifying.

[maybeidubbbzicanbeimightno]

“Thanks I’ve been feeling a little flat”
Best joke in Beetlejuice

[aprilinparisxoxo]

The shrunken head guy always makes me laugh lol

[daydreaminggeek]

The fact that one of the most iconic songs in the musical came from that tiny phrase "If I knew then what I know now, I wouldnt have had my little accident" is amazing

[Palerider]

Well the blue lady that was sawed in half was a magician's assistant. Looks like the trick went wrong. The guy in the hospital gown and cap died from open heart surgery. He has a gaping hole in his chest. Not too sure about the others.

[jw]

How do I look? There are no mirrors on this side.

Fine. You look fine.

Really?

Fine.

Thanks. I've been feeling a little flat. [Breaks out laughing]

Came here just for that.

[andreacoconuts]

"I wouldnt have had my little accident" slit wrist

[Palerider]

Oh and obviously the receptionist was a beauty pageant contestant who slit her wrists after losing. The flat guy got run over by a truck.

[seaserpent]

to be honest i actually think the afterlife looks like this

[Fraktacular]

I was 15 years old when this movie came out. Me and a friend saw it on a Saturday. When it was over we never left the theater and snuck back in for a second showing. Then again for a third! LOL

[alexisshaffer]

I love how the musical mentioned almost everyone in the waiting room
