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. 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.

The Princess Bride IS the best.

MindGuru says:

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

ParentCoachGTD says:

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.

Kevin & Elisha says:

Our wedding rings have 'True Love' inscripted inside them.

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.

Wrong! It's the worst!

khamis_04 says:

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!

MindGuru says:

I repeated Inconceivable many-a-time after seeing the flick.

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.

...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.

The battle of wits was one of the many memorable scenes. Loved the climbing up the cliff with just arms too.

Great lens for a great movie. Well done.

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).
