Sheer magic

Rating: 10/10 (7 September 1999)

I took my daughter to see this film when she was less than 10 years of age. I was not in the slightest bit interested in seeing this flick and felt at the time that I was making the ultimate parental sacrifice. The movie was a second feature and did not start till late, by which time my daughter had fallen asleep. I was determined to get my money's worth so I stayed ...and stayed...and stayed. I loved it.
I am middle aged and am almost embarrassed to say this, but this is my favourite film of all time. I loved everything about it and adored the characters, particularly Inigo (Mandy Pantinkin, Fezzik (Andre the giant)and Westley (Cary Elwes).
There are many who will think this film is ordinary or even ridiculous. But there are some who will be enchanted by it's magic, as I was. It is technically, not the best film ever made but it is indeed my favourite.
