/ Countries - USA / ratings - 8,7 of 10 / An elderly man reads the book "The Princess Bride" to his sick and thus currently bedridden adolescent grandson, the reading of the book which has been passed down within the family for generations. The grandson is sure he won't like the story, with a romance at its core, he preferring something with lots of action and "no kissing". But the grandson is powerless to stop his grandfather, whose feelings he doesn't want to hurt. The story centers on Buttercup, a former farm girl who has been chosen as the princess bride to Prince Humperdinck of Florian. Buttercup does not love him, she who still laments the death of her one true love, Westley, five years ago. Westley was a hired hand on the farm, his stock answer of "as you wish" to any request she made of him which she came to understand was his way of saying that he loved her. But Westley went away to sea, only to be killed by the Dread Pirate Roberts. On a horse ride to clear her mind of her upcoming predicament of marriage, Buttercup is kidnapped by a band of bandits: Vizzini who works on his wits, and his two associates, a giant named Fezzik who works on his brawn, and a Spaniard named Inigo Montoya, who has trained himself his entire life to be an expert swordsman. They in turn are chased by the Dread Pirate Roberts himself. But chasing them all is the Prince, and his men led by Count Tyrone Rugen. What happens to these collectives is dependent partly on Buttercup, who does not want to marry the Prince, and may see other options as lesser evils, and partly on the other motives of individuals within the groups. But a larger question is what the grandson will think of the story as it proceeds and at its end, especially as he sees justice as high a priority as action

RIP Andre The Giant ❤️.

People in masks cannot be trusted.

And I cant even get text back.

Well thats a conversation of Inigo and Wesley before the sword fight. I was listening to Carey Elewes audiobook about this movie, and he said “As You Wish” and he can still say it exactly the same way! And my heart went into a big puddle of mush and I was crying and swooning like I did when I was a stupid and silly little emotional teenager! I think I may have even clapped vigorously. Lol. Her heart was a secret garden but the walls are high. I love that quote from the book but the movie is so much better. Its nice to see the Grand Nagus when he was a young ferangi in disguise in Mid Evil Earth. Like if you knew Andre the Giant was the inspiration for the creation of the Street Fighter character Hugo. Littlefinger's great great grandfather. lmao. Whoever wrote the script for this garbage should be flogged without mercy. This is one of the most boring films I have ever watched, plus, it made absolutely no sense. The 'acting' was heavy handed and hammy; there was enough corn in this turkey to plant a new crop in 3 Indiana counties. The entertainment industry should start entertaining the idea of getting some new material, and stop foisting their rejects off on the paying public.

She passed out before he even touched her. The move at 6:12 is so slick you almost miss it. Dread Pirate Roberts switches hands for a block, and goes from right hand to left hand, back to right hand in less then a second. lol. Arguably the most underrated movie ever. 23 people are all dead. What movie is this. This scene is, without a doubt, one of the most fun sword fights ever put to film. It's nowhere near realistic and the actors are so obviously Flynning but it's very very good Flynning.

Corniest movie ever. This aside, it is also the best movie ever 😍. "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
I know, I picked the most quotable line of this epic fairy tale (sorry for being such a cliché) but it was honestly the scene I enjoyed the most in this movie. Rob Reiner's The Princess Bride is one of his most revered films and it has become a cult favorite over time. I didn't fall in love with it however, but I can understand the appeal this romantic fantasy has on so many people considering it has it all: a tale of true love, adventures involving pirates, sword-fights, fantasy creatures, and a princess who is forced to marry against her will. The premise is no different from that of your typical damsel in distress fairy tale, but the way the film seems to be mocking and honoring those familiar elements at the same time are what makes it stand out. It has a unique innocent quality to it while remaining funny, charming, and sweet. Perhaps I would've benefited from watching this at a younger age, but having waited so long to experience it for the first time was a bit of an underwhelming experience. I wasn't swept away by its magical and fantastic elements and the love story didn't stand out from other romantic tales. There are several fun scenes and unexpected character interactions, but during most of the film I felt a bit bored. The satire works in parts and so does the fantasy, but it just felt too familiar to win me over entirely.
The screenplay was adapted by William Goldman from his own novel of the same name. Although for this film he uses a grandfather (Peter Falk) to narrate the story as he is telling it to his sick grandson (Fred Savage. At first the grandson isn't too keen about having his grandpa read him a story, especially because it starts off with kissing, but once the adventure begins he's hooked. There are occasional interruptions that bring us back to the kid's room, but most of the film takes place in this fantasy land where we are introduced to a very beautiful woman named Buttercup (Robin Wright) who falls in love with her farm boy, Westley (Cary Elwes. The two have found true love, but having no money to marry he embarks on a trip and promises to return to her. Buttercup is shattered when she hears that Westley was killed by a fearful pirate named Roberts. With nothing more to look forward to, eventually she gets engaged with Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon) of Florin who promises to turn her into a princess. On the eve of her wedding, Buttercup is kidnapped by a man named Vizzini (Wallace Shawn) and his two hired henchmen, Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin) a skilled swordsman who has promised to avenge his father's death, and the strong but gentle giant Fezzik (Andre the Giant) who really doesn't know no better. While holding Buttercup ransom and fleeing from the site, they discover that they are being followed by a mysterious man in a black mask. He catches up with them soon and the adventure begins as these men face off with one another and new revelations are made.
Allowing for the story to take place through this narrative style was one of the better decisions because it gave the film its unique dreamy style and it wasn't necessary to deliver realistic visuals. It was all part of the fantasy, although I would've preferred less interruptions, but I guess they had to give Fred Savage and Peter Falk some more lines. The relationship between Elwes and Wright was believable, but it didn't stand out because it was too familiar. However, they were both the perfect casting choice for these roles. It was Mandy Patinkin as Inigo Montoya who stole the movie for me. I absolutely loved his character and the sword fighting scene was the highlight of the movie for me. It included a brilliant homage to Douglas Fairbanks (which I'm sure gave someone the idea that Elwes would be the perfect choice to spoof his Robin Hood character in a later movie. Montoya was probably the inspiration for Antonio Banderas as well when he was cast to play the Zorro. This character has become an icon and he was the saving grace of the film for me. The rest of the characters were OK, but he stood out. The exception and I think I'm in the minority here was Vizzini. I found Wallace Shawn's portrayal of him rather irritating and I couldn't stand him. There is also a hilarious scene with Billy Crystal playing a miracle doctor, who you'd only recognize due to his voice because he is heavily covered in make up to look like an old man. The Princess Bride had its strong moments, but somehow I never managed to fall in love with the fantasy and wouldn't consider it one of Reiner's best films. It does prove however what a versatile director he is because the film is very different from his other works. I'm still a bit shocked that the film is so widely loved, but I can't argue it isn't a good movie.

Those two should make a surprise appearance on Dancing With the Stars.

This guy is looking to get thrown through a wall

This is reminiscent of his role as the insuricare boss in The Incredibles. 1735 views and this is the first comment. Inconceivable. Still to this day I quote have fun stormin the Castle or Inconceivable. some get it others just move on, but I will always know and smile inside. The two best Rob Reiner's movies Stand By Me and The Princess Bride. During the Premier screening Mandy started crying. His wife asked what was wrong. He said it was because he would never be in a movie as good as this again. Best scene yet. I really liked this movie😘 it's a masterpiece of love, faith and bonding with humour 😃 great.

AS. YOU. WISH. Andre the giant was pretty proud of this movie. try to keep this in your mind before you shout inconcivable. It just get's better and better! I love this.
