The Princess Bride: fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles...

 

I love The Princess Bride!  It has the rare and perfect combination of action, intellect, humor, and romance. Whether you prefer "murdered by pirates," or "the kissing parts," you'll find something appealing about this charming and memorable story! If you haven't seen it yet, get it right now, and watch it! (you can thank me later)

Is it possible you've never seen The Princess Bride???!!! 

Don't go another day without seeing this classic!

The Princess Bride (Special Edition)The Princess Bride has it all! Romance, intrigue, pirates, humor, giant rodents, and some of the most quotable lines in movie history. If you like movies like The Neverending Story, Willow, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and other fantasy-comedy type films, you'll probably like The Princess Bride.

The Princess Bride, from Wikipedia 

The Princess Bride is a 1973 novel written by William Goldman and presented as if it were an abridgment of a work by S. Morgenstern. It was originally published in the United States by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich. It combines elements of comedy, adventure, romance and fairy tale. It was made into a feature film in 1987 by Rob Reiner, and an attempt to adapt it into a musical was made by Adam Guettel.

The Princess Bride IS the best.

somebody says:

Princess Bride is the One of the best movies ever. There are two kinds of people: people who are obsessed with it and people who haven't seen it.

Gadgetry says:

one of my favorite indeed. Although saw it long time ago but still
can't forget it.

freelief says:

Hells yeah!

BFuniv.com says:

One of the best. About once a year my family will gather to watch it. We also quote it too often.

Aika says:

I am only 3 yrs. old when this movie aired. But, it seems a great movie.

Wrong! It's the worst!

khamis_04 says:

hehe..lets say..just play the you own DVD's and bet for the better line of this movie..i guest all part of this movie is the better line for me..:P~

fefe says:

I'll go with 'as you wish' now because Seth Godin makes a good point!

KCStargazer says:

(Caution - potential spoiler if you've not yet seen it) Princess Buttercup, "I died that day, and you can die too for all I care." (She pushes the Dread Pirate Roberts down the mountain side.) DPR, "As...you...wish." PB "Oh, my sweet Westley!" And she tumbles after him.

sethgodin says:

This captures, in just three words, the relationship of the two of them.

TammyDickinson says:

"Liar! Liar! I'm not a witch I'm your wife!"

Inconceivable!

Arizona-Snow says:

It has to be inconceivable, its not just the line or the word it is how he says it and the context it is used.

freelief says:

With this one word, you can detect a fellow PB fan in an instant.

Oliver says:

I liked Inconceivable more.

victoria_neely says:

You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

hmsweaver says:

They're both good, but "Inconceivable" makes me laugh more.

...It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead...

Miracle Max: Whoo-hoo-hoo, look who knows so much. It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do.

This is one of my very favorite movies of all time and the book is so fun to read. Nice lens.

Nice Lens. Saw this movie with my girlfriend once. Was forced to watch it. Turned out pretty good.

One of the best things about Princess Bride is the abridgement - the point that Peter Faulk is trying to over. It's a story with all the boring bits taken out (a thing they should of done with the extremely boring Lord of the Rings).

I could watch it a hundred times ... and have.

Anyone that reads this lens and doesn't watch the movie will suffer "Humiliations GALORE." They will also miss one of the greatest sword fights ever filmed.
