One of the greatest films about princesses, giants, fencing and most importantly love and friendship

Rating: 10/10 (16 September 2018)

As Peter Falk reads on the book to his grandson, "this book has sports in it. And it's got fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles...
Doesn't sound too bad?"
"Wonderful, thank you, your vote of confidence is overwhelming."
Look, it's like this: the Princess Bride has great characters, well paced plot, and outstanding dialogue tied together in a story as simple and heartwarming as it is a unique retelling of the romantic myth. It is one of the first movies that was designed to appeal to bothchildren and the child in all of us.
The Princess Bride is more than just a humourois fairy tale, it is a loving examination of true love, friendship, loyalty and everlasting hope - for a better, kinder, beautiful story we all enjoy visiting repeatedly. If you don't believe me I'll feed you to the eels.
And now for something completely different:

"Hello, my name is Inigo Monyoya, you killed my father. Prepare to die"

(INCONCEIVABLE)

"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
-"I do not think you would accept my help since I am only waiting around to kill you."

"INCONCEIVABLE!"
"You're trying to kidnap what I've rightfully stolen."

-"I've hired you to help me start a war. It's a prestigious line of work, with a long and glorious tradition."

(You're that smart?)

"Let me put it this way, have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates?
(Yes.)
"Morons."

"You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - the most famous of which is 'never get involved in a land war in Asia' - but only slightly less well-known is this: 'Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line!' Ha ha ha ha ha ha -"

"Anybody want a peanut?"
"You've been mostly-dead all day."
"It's not my fault being the biggest and the strongest. I don't even work out."
"My way isn't very sportsmanlike.

-"...And there they were, four white horses and I thought there are four of us, if we ever find the lady."
-"Hello Lady."
-"So I took them with me in case we ever bumped into each other."
-"I guess we just did."
-"Fezzik, you did something right."
-"Don't worry, I won't lwt it go to my head."
-"Since the invention of the kiss there have been five kisses that were rated the most passionate, the most pure. This one left them all behind. The end."

"Grampa, maybe you could come over and read it again to me tomorrow?"

"As you wish."
