A Great Flick

Rating: 10/10 (10 February 1999)

Once when I was in the Navy, I was on an extended deployment where we spent over 70 days at sea. About 8 of us would watch a movie every evening--since we had over 200 titles on board we had an unofficial rule that we would never watch the same movie twice in a given 70 day patrol. We also were 8 guys with several distinctly different tastes in movies so we took turns either picking the movie or enduring another's choice. The night we first watched PRINCESS BRIDE, it was remarkable how each and every one of us had really loved that movie. It was the ONLY movie that ever violated the once per patrol rule--we saw it once a week and enjoyed it more each time we saw it.
