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.

Just in case you can't remember the scene, the link to the YouTube Video is provided and most of the videos have been included above.
This Chatty Duel or First Sword Fight (photo on right) is one of the classic sword fights of all time. Not only is the dialog between Inigo and the Man in Black witty and amazing, but the swash-buckling, sword fighting has become a true classic, in the style of Errol Flynn and Douglas Fairbanks.

More than 20 years later many of these one-liners have become classics. Inconceivable. I found myself trying to explain the "mostly dead" concept to a friend a couple of weeks ago.

- This is one of my all time favorites. It's so funny - smart funny - that it's addicting and the lines and scenes have such nuances that you can watch it over and over and see something new each time.

- With a name like The Princess Bride, it is hard to believe that it is one of my teenage son's favorite movies. He only recently found a copy of the book. He will enjoy this lens!
