Beetlejuice (film)/YMMV

Crowning Music of Awesome: Aside from Danny Elfman's title theme, the use of Harry Belafonte, including "Day-O", which is also a Crowning Moment of Funny.
Designated Protagonist Syndrome: The Maitlands, which may be why they were left out of the cartoon.
Die for Our Ship: A large number of the fandom actually supports Betelgeuse/Lydia. This has a lot to do with people watching the TV series when they were kids, which portrayed The B Man as having strong feelings for Lydia bordering on romantic, but this gets gross when you remember she was aged down to roughly 12 for the show. (See the corresponding entry in the cartoon section.)
Funny Aneurysm Moment: Sylvia Sidney plays a smoking ghost with a hole in her throat which emits smoke. Sidney died from throat cancer in New York City at the age of 88.
I Am Not Shazam: Due to their being homonyms, people make the mistake of thinking the character is named Beetlejuice as well, rather than Betelgeuse.
- His name is officially "Beetlejuice" in the animated series - hence Lydia calling him "BJ."
- The Maitlands have difficulty summoning him at first, as Adam thinks it's pronounced "Bay-tell-gice."
  - Additionally, despite the poster, the film credits make it clear that the title is Beetle Juice, not Beetlejuice.
Memetic Mutation: "I'm the ghost with the most, babe."
Squick: Betelgeuse trying to marry Lydia.
True Art Is Incomprehensible: Delia's sculptures.
- Much of the film itself, to an extent.
Wangst. Lydia's suicide note is a little over-the-top.

"I am...alone. (Scraps, starts over) I am...utterly...alone. By the time...you read this...I will be gone...having jumped (scratches out jumped) having...plummeted...off the Winter River Bridge."

- Lydia's whole role in the film is a deliberate invocation of this. The Maitlands (and even Betelgeuse himself) essentially talk her out of this attitude, and by the end she's a changed girl.
