Great story about one of the alltime best movies ever made... http://www.npr.org/blogs/monkeysee/2012/10/05/1623 83428/mandy-patinkin-25-years-after-the-princess-b ride-hes-not-tired-of-that-line | ||

Just watched that again last night. One of my favorite lines... "You keep using that word... I do no think it means what you think it means". Great movie! | ||

Another great clip, the battle of wits... | ||

The book is also an excellent read. Definitely portrays Humpadink in a different light. I would suggest the abridged version. | ||

...I have a copy of the screenplay around here somewhere...awesome movie. "you think it'll work?" "it would take a miracle" "buh-byeeee!!!" | ||

I actually got to see Andre the Giant in the wrasslin' ring once in Nashville- he was up against Jake the Snake. He was "winning" until, of course, Jake pulled out the python. Didja know Andre has a posse? | ||

Great movie. | ||

One of my favs - one of the first dates I ever went on was to that movie. Ah, look who is so smart.... Mostly dead is not all dead .... Miracle Max is simply the best. | ||

One of my favorites. My kids too! | ||

My favorite scene: | ||
| Blackbelt |
I got a T-shirt for my birthday this year... all black with one of those name tags "hello my name is" printed on it... in the blank spot it says.. "eniogo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die." People that have never seen the movie just don't understand... | ||

 OMG- I'm a t-shirt junkie, I'd LOVE to have that one! Any idea where yours came from?! | ||

Home Sick - The movie and Hot Cocoa I always thought Fred Savage looked like a young Jay Leno | ||

OK Jaime, thank you I think... but I just wasted over a half hour looking at stuff. Made it to 385-460 of 760,000 designs... now I gotta go back to housework. I could lose a LOT of money buying T's from that outfit! | ||

One of my all time favorite movies...so many "quotable" scenes. Great job of casting too. Every time I see Cary Elwes in another role though I can't help but see him as The Dread Pirate Roberts. And I am not left handed either  | ||

"To the pain" Was kinda "drug" into seeing the movie. It would have been one of my biggest regrets to have never seen it on the big screen. Absolutely one of the best movies I have ever seen | ||
| Blackbelt |
i should get a photo of my shirt.. it is a lot more subtle than that one.. | ||
| 86129squids |
Yeppers- what I'd love to see is that entire quote "handwritten" in the space where you write your name... They had a LOT of hilarious shirts I could buy, if I had several hundred $$$ to blow... | ||

AHA! THAT'S where I saw it. That's actually the shirt I was looking for, but I couldn't remember where I'd seen it. Thanks! | ||
| Jaimec |
The only other movie I can think of with as many quotable lines is Mel Brooks' "Young Frankenstein." | ||

Top Gun Pure Kitsche B*llshiate, you could be my wing-man | ||

the R.O.U.S. ? I doubt they even exist... Also loved Billy Crystal and Carol Kane (IIRC) as miracle max and his wife. for that type of movie Alan Rickman had a the BEST lines in Robin Hood prince of theives.... "I'll cut his heart out with a spoon!" with a spoon? why not with a knife or an axe?" "Because it will hurt more you IDIOT!" | ||

In John Ringo's Novel "Ghost" a retired Navy Seal witnesses a kidnapping, pursues, engages the terrorists that took her, the terrorist leader holding her with a gun yelling "Now we will negotiate!"... The Seal mocks the terrorist, eliminates him, then cuts the girl loose from her bonds... She asks, "who ARE you?" He replies, "The Dread Pirate Roberts... damn, I always wanted to say that." "What??" "The Princess Bride, you've never seen it?" "no" "rent it. You owe me." "Ghost" is an improbable tale, running from adolescent violent fantasy, "the lone hero" through darker, and darker places, Not for kids, But I liked it. The point is the Hero like many of us, draws strength and his core beliefs from his Culture and the movies we absorbed through our life. "The Princess Bride" is on the short list for greatest movie ever. I don't believe that just one film can be "the Best" for any person, or even for one person over a lifetime, as we grow and change. "As you wish" May be the grandest proclamation of love in Cinema. (makes "Love means never having to say you're sorry" sound like the insipid crap it is...)  | ||

P.S. try "The Court Jester" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049096/ What a cast... | ||

" Inconceivable " Why do you keep saying that word.... I do not think it means what you think it means.... Classic Timeless | ||

Good friend got married this weekend. Ceremony started out "mwarrig..." I heard the officiant practicing, I thought she was joking, but no, total princess bride riff to kick things off. | ||

 THAT was easily in the top 3 funniest scenes for me! As great as everything else was, this was a "sleeper" scene- almost Pythonesque... when the priest began his speech I couldn't believe it, was crying with laughter shortly after that! Speaking of Python, who's seen "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen"? All who post here and love great movies MUST see that one! | ||
| 86129squids |
VT- how far along did the officiant take the speech like that? (Female clergy I guess- what flavor?) | ||

She did the first couple of lines. There were some confused people in the crowd, and some looked like they would wet their pants. I was confused by some lines latter on about a ring being a circle, not a triangle, but that was a movie I never saw. Second wedding for me this summer with internet ministers, good friends ordained to make it legal in Vermont. |
