This is Tim Burton's wacky film about a dead couple (Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis) haunting their own house and trying to rid it of the new owners and their tasteless post-modern renovations. After their own attempts fail, they hire Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton), a deranged lunatic of a ghost with an overactive libido. Lots of good special effects and some hilarious scenes.

This film is a parody of "The Magnificent Seven," minus four of the heroes. Three silent-screen cowboys–Dusty Bottoms (Chevy Chase), Lucky Day (Steve Martin), and Ned Nederlander (Martin Short)–have been fired from the studio when they receive a message from Carmen (Patrice Martinez) begging them to save her Mexican town. They think that Carmen is paying them to perform their singing routine in a show, but she really wants them to rid her town of marauding El Guapo (Alfonso Arau) who is terrorizing her friends and neighbors. They do head south of the border and arrive in Carmen's town and then learn that Carmen has been kidnapped by El Guapo. What do they do? They perform acts of heroism–just like they have done on the screen–and save the town.
