a fantastic action adventure romantic comedy

Rating: 10/10 (13 May 2004)

The first time I saw this was on video, and as soon as it finished i had to watch it over again, and again the next night, and again the night after that. In fact I've had to buy so many copies because I carelessly keep losing them. The entire cast is fantastic, and Cary Elwes is the most charming, suave hero with the most perfect English accent. I was pretty gutted when I found out he was actually American I can tell you, but it's all credit to his acting ability. He's brilliant in all his films in fact. The Princess Bride is very very funny and has the best sword fighting scene in any movie in the world ever ever ever. It has a great script and a great story line, which I think is enhanced by it being so unlikely, that just adds to the fairytale, and it's very beautiful too. Everybody should see this film.
