| The
Princess Bride, starring Cary Elwes and Mandy
Patinkin. Based on the book by S. Morgenstern and
William Goldman. Music by Mark Knopfler. |
| The
Princess Bride is considered by me and many of my
friends to be the best movie ever made, for good
reason. It has everything: action, adventure,
love, and smashing comedy. |
| Fred
Savage is sick in bed, so his grandpa starts
reading him a story...about the lovely Buttercup,
who falls in love with a servant boy, Westley.
But when Westley is reported dead at sea,
Buttercup agrees to marry the powerful Prince of
Florin, who really just wants to use her to start
a war with Gildor. So he hires three kidnappers
who can't manage the job, thanks to the Man in
Black following them....After swordfights and
battles of wits, Westley is reunited with
Buttercup for a trek through the Fire Swamp,
where dwell the Rodents of Unusual Size. Upon
emerging, the two are again separated, but only
until Westley can rescue her yet again. |
| The
Princess Bride is an incredible film, featuring
great perfomances by Elwes, Patinkin, and their
supporting cast, as well as a hilarious cameo by
Billy Crystal. Passing up this film would be
"incontheivable!" |
