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.
