I've read the book! They're both excellent and equally hilarious. I can't decide which I love better--the book or the movie.

Along with others like Willow and Labrynth it was one of those films you watched when you were wee all the time, and had memorised the whole thing before you were eight! Magic.

I love you...for the following reasons:

(1) You mentioned Willow
(2) You mentioned Labyrinth
(3) You love The Princess Bride

Anybody who has seen and liked those films, along with The Neverending Story and The Dark Crystal, I plan to worship. There's no getting around it.

Miss Shannon: I love your work [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]. I'll add it to the opener when I get myself situated and actually feel like it. I'm plagued with laziness... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

By the by, I just watched the flick again for the fifty millionth time, and it remains to be one of the funniest movie ever made -- it's just too brilliant. [img]smilies/sigh.gif[/img]

Buttercup: You mock my pain!
Man in black: Life is pain, highness...Anyone who says differently is selling something.


[img]smilies/lol.gif[/img] That's my next sig...without a doubt.

Great there are other people that understand how wonderful this movie is! This and The Neverending story were my favorites when I was younger. Watched them over and over. I also love the book, I read the book a couple of years ago and loved it too.

I love this movie - but much more for the humor than the romance.

The romance was kind of silly.

However, every time Peter Falk turns around to his grandson and says, "As you wish," I choke up. My grampa was like that! And that's the way grandfather's should be.

Plus, I really, REALLY love saying, "Hello. My name is Innigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die," just because. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

[img]smilies/lol.gif[/img] Aw thanks! I love you too...for these reasons:

(1) You agree with me
(2) You spelled Labyrinth, which I tried to do for about twenty minutes before I eventually just posted any old way. And yes, the correct way was one of the ways I tried that didn't quite look right. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Inconcievable!

The Princess Bride = one of the best movies ever. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Man, I love it! My whole family can practically quote it word for word. [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]

So true! I do the same thing when I meet someone who hasn't seen it. It's simply wrong to have never seen TPB. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I just watched the flick again last night...all I wanted to do afterward was shag Cary Elwes for being so damn sexy and charming -- he'd charm the clothes right off my ready and willing body, little hotass... [img]smilies/drool.gif[/img]

And of course, there's the signature affection and appreciation for the most classic lines in a film EVER. I feel a PB fanart wave coming on... [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]
