Absolutely one of the best!

Rating: Null/10 (29 August 1999)

I first saw this movie in 1987 or 88. I watched it with a friend and his 9-year-old daughter. The film had been recommended by another friend, and I was only casting about for a film a 9-year-old would enjoy. I wasn't expecting to love it myself! I believe I've now watched this move more than 20 times, and part of my enjoyment comes from the clever writing that created many memorable lines. ("I wonder if he's using the same wind we are using." "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."...I could go on, but I won't :). If you've not seen this movie, run right out and rent it! You (and your family) will enjoy it. How many movies can you say that about?
And don't blame me if you find yourself quoting the movie all the time after you've seen it a lot. :)
