The Princess Bride

"Hold it. Hold it. Are you trying to trick me? Where's the sports. Is this a kissing book?"

We soon discover that "The Princess Bride" is a perfect blend of fairy tale romance, swash buckling action, nail biting adventure and side splitting comedy.

This modern twist on a classic fairy tale, directed by Rob Reiner includes a princess in distress, a pirate, a giant, an evil prince, a miracle worker and several amusing sidekicks.

With the Princess Bride, you even get the happy fairy tale ending and the most romantic kiss in the history of kissing...

Since the invention of the kiss, there have only been five kisses that were rated the most passionate, the most pure. This one left them all behind.
