My favorite movie of them all

Rating: 10/10 (7 February 2000)

Just like the subject says. There are a handful of videos I consider essential to anyone's collection, this is near the top of the list. There are technically better movies of course, but none of them have the heart and humor of The Princess Bride. I think the performances of the actors is a big part of what makes this film so good. Billy Crystal and Carol Kane shine in an all-too brief scene, and Mandy Patinkin is simply a joy to watch as Inigo Montoya, a performance I have never seen him match to this day. It is a children's movie that any adult could (and should) watch and should be at the top of any parent's list of films their children should watch.
