I love the Princess Bride! It's my favorite movie! I really like it because it's a show that everyone in the family can enjoy -- it has just about a bit of everything. My favorite parts, though, are the many memorable lines that are in the show. It's a timeless classic, that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteI remember reading this book as a child and laughing like a loon at the name "Humperdinck." What a great number of extras on the Anniversary Release!
ReplyDeleteI've not seen this movie, only trailers for it but I'd like to see it :)
ReplyDeleteOur whole family loves this movie. It's an annual tradition to sit down and watch it together and it's inconceivable how much it comes up in conversation the rest of the year!
