This movie is classic!

Rating: 10/10 (8 June 2006)

This is one of the best movies ever made! It has all the elements of a fairy tale and/or medieval epic, but it's made with tongue firmly planted in-cheek, so it's completely enjoyable for everyone. It's a favorite of several family members of all ages. You can find romance, fighting, chivalry, classic villains, classic heroes/heroines, sidekicks, and incredible characters and beasts. Not to mention the quotability factor. I can think of about ten lines off the top of my head that are instantly recognizable. I recommend it to everyone, no matter your age or taste in movies!
Westley, a poor farm boy, falls in love with beautiful Buttercup and sails off to seek his fortune in America. Upon word of Westley's death, Buttercup becomes engaged to Prince Humperdinck, the heir to the throne who cares mainly about his love of the hunt and fighting. When Buttercup is kidnapped by a trio of goons, Humperdinck tracks her, only to find her in the arms of the mysterious Dread Pirate Roberts. Buttercup returns with the Prince, but what will happen to the Dread Pirate Roberts? Will Buttercup ever find true love? Is the Prince really what he seems?
With great performances from the entire cast--Robin Wright Penn, Billy Crystal, Wallace Shawn, Mandy Patinkin, Andre the Giant (born for this role), Chris Sarandon, Christopher Guest--Cary Elwes still shines as the understated, but hilarious hero. You can watch this a million times and never get tired of it.
