Oh this is one of my favourite films ever! I saw it as a teenager and we went back to the cinema again and again to the point we knew every line in the film! It's a brilliant comedy/drama about a young stable boy who falls in love with the boss' daughter so he goes away to seek his fortune and is lost at sea. She is then chosen by the Prince, a vile man, as his bride and he is going to force her to marry him when suddenly the Dread Pirate Roberts appears and kidnaps her. All sorts of mayhem ensue on the road to true love, which cannot, it would seem, be stopped by death, only delayed.

This film is odd, sarcastic, comical and sweet in equal measures, played to perfect comic timing perfection by a cast which includes Mandy Patinkin repeatedly saying "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

Brilliant!

This simple movie is simply brilliant. I thought it did the amazing book justice, and I found myself laughing the whole way through. The characters in The Princess Bride were picked perfectly, and I loved Andre the Giant as Fezzik. You will laugh your head off, and it is actually a good love story too. Go and watch it and enjoy.

The Princess Bride is a great film and a good fantasy. A true love film. One of the greatest films ever dreamed up.

The Princess Bride - Just reading a plot summary of this corker of a film you would think (if you were a grown up male) that this is going to be TOTAL garbage; just some rubbish fit only for duping uncritical minors into silence for an hour and a half. Fantasy princesses, rescuers, villains, etc., don't usually make for a good film.

HOWEVER - you would be MISTAKEN. This film is a wonderful and enjoyable entertainment-fest. Sleeping beauty meets Errol Flynn is the best summary of the film. Go ...
