Beetlejuice
(Tim Burton, US 1988, 92 min., 35mm)
SOLD OUT
A pair of newly dead newlyweds (Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis) returns to their country home to discover unwanted guests: an obnoxious yuppie family whom the spirits want evicted at once. The crude "bio-exorcist" Betelgeuse (Michael Keaton) seems to be their only hope, but the self proclaimed "ghost with the most" proves to be an even bigger burden. This funny, creepy, and wildly imaginative romp -- one of the quintessential movies of the 1980s -- was the first to earn Michael Keaton worldwide fame and acclaim, and it remains his favorite among his own films.
The Beetlejuice screening will include a brief introduction by Michael Keaton. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased online starting June 1. Advance ticket purchase is strongly recommended. In addition to online, tickets may be purchased at the museum’s Lipson Welcome Center during regular museum hours. Pending availability, tickets will also be available the day of the screening at the Dryden Theatre box office when it opens at 6 p.m. Please note: No passes or discounts will be accepted. General admission; no reserved seating. No autographs.
