Movie-A-Day #41: The Princess Bride
One of my top 5 favorite movies - a dry comedy from Rob Reiner that tells the tale of Princess Buttercup (Robin Wright Penn) and her true love Westly (Cary Elwes). The film has it all - kidnapping, swashbuckling pirates, evil princes, sword battles and of course, true love. The movie is done tongue-in-cheek, and I still laugh throughout it.
Excellent performances by Wright, Elwes, Christopher Guest, Mandy Patakin, Chris Sarandon, Wallace Shawn and a cast of cameos.
To not like this film is inconceivable!

In college, my group in a Public spekaing class used this flick to demonstrate the effects of persuasion.
I absolutely love this movie.

Is there a better movie? This is such a classic I don't know how many VHS tapes I wore about before it finally came out on DVD.
There are so many quotable lines from it - what a great choice for a Friday pick!
I was just quoting this in an email yesterday and this morning.
"Have fun storming the castle"
Now I have to go home and watch it this evening.

Awesome movie, my wife's absolute favorite of all time.
We bought the dvd when it first came out (bare bones version) - anyone have the special edition, and know what extra features are on it?

I have both the bare bones and SE. I can't remember off the top of my head what is on it though - I'd have to look at it again.
