Where does one begin in describing The Princess Bride? Do I start with Fred Savage, as the grandson, and Peter Falk as the grandfather introducing a beloved story to him? Do I start with the tale of Westley, Buttercup and true love? How about Vizzini, Inigo Montoya and Fezzik versus the man in black? How about Inigo's lifelong quest for the six fingered man? Count Rugen's pain studies? Prince Humperdinck's plans to murder his bride and blame it on Guilder?

I haven't even gotten to Miracle Max and Valerie, rodents of unusual size or the Dread Pirate Roberts.

The Princess Bride is a 1987 action adventure comedy that is a throwback to the oldies, the high-flying adventure films of the thirties, forties and fifties. It is the story of Westley and Princess Buttercup who are separated by circumstances that were beyond their control and fantastical. There are sword fights, battles and challenges of dizzying intellect.

What's good...

Everything is good. This is funny, full of adventure and true love. It's great.

It has some really great one liners and performances. There is so much great dialogue and memorable lines in this. It is brilliantly quotable.

What's not so good...

Are you kidding? It's The Princess Bride!!

My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father... Prepare to die.
