The Princess Bride: fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles...
, 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 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. It was originally published in the United States by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich.
The book combines elements of comedy, adventure, fantasy, romance and fairy tale. It is presented as if it were an abridgment of a work by S. Morgenstern, and Goldman's 'commentary' asides are constant throughout.
It was made into a film of the same name in 1987 by Rob Reiner, and an attempt to adapt it into a musical was made by Adam Guettel.

A great movie for kids and adults alike. A gentle adventure with all sorts of flights of fancy. Genuinely funny.

It was dizzyingly good. Loaded with great moments. I went to see this with a group of friends in college having no idea how much i would end up loving it. My daughter is finally old enough to get some of the humor. Time to pass the torch.

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.

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.

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).
