Genius scene πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚





Bad roof. Goooood parking. (Beetlejuice)

What d'ya say we all sit down for a little of the ol' face-to-face, eh what, Reub?

The delivery of that "NO!" makes it one of the best lines ever spoken in film lol. My friend and I used to laugh hysterically at it every single time.

"If I find one more, just one, I'm gonna catch him and staple his ass shut!!!"

"There go the Godd@mn brownies!"

Can't be too careful with all those weirdos running around.

In Southeast Asia we'd call this kind of thing bad karma.

Just got through watching this again this time in HD, man Rumsfeld has some funny mannerisms he does in scenes one near the end where Art is about to go after Ray an the cop bumps Rumsfeld an he just crosses his arms across his chest an looks like he is wincing in pain😁

Channel Six News, they'll finger anything with a pulse!

LOL! I especially love that line and the one where he makes fun of Hans.

"Hans Christian Anderson. That's a fine Christian name. What are you? Catholic?"

reply

The scene when he falls off the roof is hilarious.

You keep on reminding me of a darkness only I can see

The more I watch this movie, the funnier his performance gets. He outshines Tom (who is pretty great in the movie) and steals almost every scene he's in.


You want something corny? You got it!

It was weird seeing Dern doing comedy!! I remember him from all the old Westerns and he was never funny, he always played the part of a jerk!! He played the part of a jerk so good that I hated him!!
