Princess Bride, beyond film fantasy

Rating: 10/10 (31 January 1999)

When Carl Reiner created his timeless masterpiece "Princess Bride" the world was blessed. Not only is this film a great story but it is a fantastic mixture of wit and tongue and cheek writing that allows not only children but adults to perch at the edge of their seats and cheer. With a cast of smooth talking Cary Elwes, sweet but strong Robin Wright, loyal sword master Mandy Patinkin and lovably large Andre, the screen is filled to the brim with the best of characters portrayed with great loyalty. There are few movies that will stand up by themselves for ages both as new experiences to new eyes and as cult like classics. Personally, having seen it dozens of times I think my heart has been taken.. truuuuueee loooooove alas
