The perfect date night movie submitted by cballard on June 18, 2013, 7:41pm The perfect date night movie. A story of true love, filled with adventure and excitement.

tpb submitted by a2sue on August 18, 2013, 10:17am this film is a lot of fun! the princess bride has a great cast, and cary elwes is absolutely perfect as westley. two thumbs up!

great movie submitted by ejmarcash on June 20, 2014, 11:36pm Great family movie. My daughter loved it because it had a princess in the movie. My son loved the action scenes but disapproved of the kissing scenes. My husband loved the fencing scenes because once upon a time, he used to fence. I enjoyed the humor and romance and a young, baby-faced Fred Savage. Aw. I can't believe how much time has passed since The Wonder Years.

a fairy tale as imagined by a 7 year old boy submitted by SurfGrape on June 26, 2014, 12:13pm This is a classic fairy tale with all the elements (sword fights, pirates, magic, princes, princesses, true love) but wrapped in the imagination of a 7-year old boy. In other words, only the good parts!

One of my favorites: Princess Bride. submitted by tbbrown76 on July 26, 2014, 11:31am When he switches from left-handed to right and so does his opponent. Andre the Giant. Billy Crystal. Just an excellent film that everybody should like.

A classic! submitted by asopijw65 on August 4, 2014, 4:43pm Classic movie that everyone should see. Highly quotable and still funny even after all these years.

Great! submitted by cowmooflage on August 6, 2014, 8:47am Very fun movie. The fight choreography is great, the one-liners are super quotable, and the characters are endearing. Great movie

Classic submitted by dvolpe on August 25, 2014, 4:45pm One of my favorite films of all time. One of the most quotable films ever made. Watch it.

Mandy Patinkin submitted by willow on August 31, 2015, 8:46am Mandy Patinkin (whose family are Russian and Polish Jews) plays the swashbuckling and very memorable Inigo Montoya.

Did you know that in 2013, a man wearing a shirt with that famous line of Inigo Montoya was asked to take it off, because other passengers might be scared? Ha.

Good not great submitted by markwells on July 22, 2022, 2:10pm After hearing so much hoopla about this movie I finally recently viewed it and I don't feel it lived up to the hype. I thought it was more cute than great. I suppose it is worth a look on a rainy day. Grade: B-.
