My all-time favorite

Rating: 10/10 (1 September 2002)

This movie is my choice for the greatest film ever made. Not because it makes daring social commentary, it has stunning cinematography, it's an artistic masterpiece or all the other silly reasons people like to have. It's my favorite because it's a great story. One of action, comedy, and true love. I suggest you read the book as well as, or, if possible, before seeing the film. The book is more detailed and although Goldman has nicely scripted his novel for the screen, I choose the book over the movie (but when I read it, I have a definite picture of Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Mandy Patinkin, Andre the Giant, etc. in my head). This one can't miss.
