The Princess Bride was indeed a priceless classic

Rating: 10/10 (14 November 2007)

Wow. I must say, Rob Reiner did it again. What an entertaining, fun movie. I did not realize that it was Robin Wright's first major film. No wonder everyone fell in love with her. Her facial expressions were priceless. I would have to say, however that Mandy Patinkin stole the show. His acting skills are so brilliant. I believe he could portray any role however its difficulty. Also, I love it when he says, "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." I dedicate this comment to "Andre the Giant" whom I loved as a kid growing up. I watched his "fake" wrestling matches with my friends, and we always were very supportive of him. I thought it was great that he got to make a film with such good actors. "The Princess Bride" is a timeless piece and has its humor as well as its intense moments. Now that's pure genius. Thank you to the writer of this great film. It will be a classic like "The Wizard of Oz", "Oliver" and "The Sound of Music," the musicals. Also, who can resist Cary Elwes? How easily he made his character come to life. He portrayed his character effortlessly. (You really went from bad to good, Sean Penn, when you left Madonna for Robin. Well done! She's a true beauty. Well, sorry, I did not realize that they are now divorced too.) Christopher Guest and Chris Sarandon were excellent as well. The casting was perfect...absolutely perfect. It's hard to believe it's a 20 year old film....lol.
