About the Films:
Pee-wee's Big Adventure
Two of the most original talents in recent decades – Pee-wee Herman and director Tim Burton – teamed on what was to be their major breakthrough in this riotously funny movie about Pee-wee’s cross-country search for his stolen bike. As Pee-wee encounters bikers, cowboys, crooks and a phantom trucker and passes through the Alamo and Warner Bros. Studios, any resistance is futile: unstoppable laughter always follows. Celebrate the one-of-a-kind magic that this mirthful, colorful, bountiful movie still packs.
Special Features:
· Commentary by Paul Reubens and Director Tim Burton
· Additional Scenes
· Production Sketches and Storyboards
Beetlejuice
What are a couple of stay-at-home ghosts to do when their beloved home is taken over by trendy yuppies? They call on Beetlejuice to scare off the family – and everyone gets more than she, he or it bargains for from the afterlife’s freelance bio-exorcist! Tim Burton guides this PG-rated comedy ‘monsterpiece’ whose stars include Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Winona Ryder and Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice, the ghost with the most who just can’t leave the ladies (living or dead) alone while flinging one-liners and spinning into grotesque forms.

Batman (1989)
Tim Burton’s direction and Michael Keaton’s performance combine perfectly in this first film to capture the sinister atmosphere of Gotham City and the brooding nature of Batman. Jack Nicholson almost steals the movie as the maniacal Joker and Kim Basinger is Vicki Vale, the beautiful and resourceful photojournalist desired by both men. Featuring songs by Prince and a score by Danny Elfman, Batman won the 1990 Oscar® for Best Art Direction/Set Decoration (Art Direction: Anton Furst; Set Decoration: Peter Young)*.

Batman Returns
Gotham City faces two monstrous criminal menaces: the bizarre, sinister Penguin (Danny DeVito) and the slinky, mysterious Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer). Can Batman (Michael Keaton) battle two formidable foes at once? Especially when one wants to be mayor and the other is romantically attracted to Bruce Wayne. Like the groundbreaking 1989 original, Batman Returns is directed by the wizardly Tim Burton. And like the first blockbuster, it’s a dazzling adventure that leaves you breathless.

Armed with insta-fry ray guns, and enlivened with state-of-the-art special effects, watch as Earth fights back with an unexpected weapon. Take that, Martians!

Set in a 19th century European village, this stop-motion, animated feature follows the story of Victor (voiced by Johnny Depp), a young man who is whisked away to the underworld and wed to a mysterious Corpse Bride, while his real bride, Victoria, waits bereft in the land of the living.
