Susan This movie is an absolute classic. As the grandfather says, it has romance, pirates adventure, Magic, revenge, and justice! Beautifully shot, the actors are great. The dialogue is witty – no reason not to love this movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/25 Full Review Christina Not watching this in the theater isINCONCEIVABLE! ) Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/25 Full Review David D So unforgettable. The characters and light-hearted comedic approach to fairytales make it one of the best movies ever! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review Jace E This movie is the definition of a (semi) modern classic. The story, the humor, the cast, the dialogue, there is so much to love about The Princess Bride. Where this movie really shines is the fact that it doesn't take itself too seriously. There are clearly some emotional beats that grip you, specifically related to the love story between Buttercup/Westly and the rivalry between Inigo/The Six Fingered Man. However, most of the film is full of hilariously witty and purposefully dumb moments. Endlessly rewatchable, The Princess Bride truly is a classic. Best Character: Inigo Best Quote: "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." - Inigo Best Scene: Westly Challenging the Big Three Best Piece of Score: "Once Upon a Time... Storybook" Note: I don't know if I just never paid attention to the end of the film, but that last moment with the grandpa made me tear up. Brilliant writing! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/21/25 Full Review Gary K I'm sorry to say that unlike apparently everyone else I find this movie simply mediocre. The story is bland and it just doesn't move me the way it obviously does to everyone else. It's nice, but that's about all I can say about it. It's only redeeming value is that the grandfather is trying to teach his grandson a lesson. The story in the book...meh. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/17/25 Full Review A R Ever since I was in High School..I have continued to watch this movie over decades countless of times and IT.....NEVER.....GETS.....OLD. My kids even love it! Though it doesn't have the depth of the story from the book(so much more backstory...it's a must read), it is perfectly cast. I had the biggest crush on Robin Wright when I saw this movie. Billy Crystal was hillarious! The humor, sense of adventure, old fashion story telling, iconic dialogue, and just as important, a STELLAR soundtrack. The music will stick with you for decades! When I watched the reunion video, I can absolutely understand why Mandy Patinkin got emotional when he reflected on watching a rough cut of the movie. His wife asked him..."what's the matter? What's wrong? " "Because I never dreamed, that I would get to be in a movie like this." It's one of those movies that stands the test of time. A classic for any generation. That is incredibly difficult to accomplish and execute. BRILLIANT MOVIE! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/10/25 Full Review Read all reviews
