"This is true love - you think this happens every day?"

Rating: 10/10 (21 June 2016)

One of my favorite movies. Probably in my top five all-time favorites. Funny, quotable, with many memorable characters and one perfect scene after another. Just absolutely charming. Solid direction from Rob Reiner. Perhaps not as flashy as some would prefer but straightforward and not distracting like it probably would be if made today. William Goldman wrote the screenplay, as well as the original book. I've read the book and I recommend you go check it out after seeing the film. There are a lot of little funny bits that didn't make it to the screen. The cast is excellent, from perhaps the prettiest couple in movie history (Cary Elwes and Robin Wright) to one of the funniest supporting casts ever (including Chris Sarandon, Mandy Patinkin, Billy Crystal, Wallace Shawn, Christopher Guest, Peter Falk, Peter Cook, Carol Kane, and a wonderful turn from pro wrestling legend Andre the Giant). It's a classic for young and old alike and I can't say enough good things about it. Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles... it's got everything.
