Simple and Beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (9 December 2000)

The Princess Bride is one of my all time favourite films. Its beauty comes from the great, warm, happy feeling you get from watching it. Its very funny, very charming and appeals to the audience on many intelligence levels.
I especially enjoyed the characters played by Wallace Shawn, Mandy Patinkin and of course, Cary Elwes, who is fantastic.
It has now grown to be a cult classic and should be sit alongside or above This is Spinal Tap and When Harry Met Sally as Rob Reiner's finest work.
Great acting, writing, direction, music and imagery. Marks out of ten? As you wish......I give it a 10.
