This gives me the same heartwarming feeling as A Knight's Tale did, except this is so much funnier. In honour of Rob and Michele Reiner!

So happy to have finally watched this. Thanks for watching with me and looking forward to your comments!

The Princess Bride (1987) ✦ Full-Length Watchalong Reaction

I saw Cary Elwes a couple weeks ago at the local con and really appreciated his stories about making this movie. 💞

"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

Mandy Patinkin lost his father when he was 18. He has said that his line to Count Rugan about how he wanted his father back was his way of trying to get revenge on the cancer that killed his father. I didn't know that at the time I first watched the movie, but that line hits me different now because I think of my dad passing over 25 years ago. His birthday is tomorrow.

Who knows truly how many times I've seen this movie, but this time I must been more emotional seeing you smile and react to this is what I needed to make me smile, which I don't smile very often. Thank you for that. For me and I think many others this might be one of a very few perfect movies, The characters/actors the story the humor its just amazing. it hard to pick a favorite character, but I'll go Wesley for now, I used that line "As you wish" before with a girl.... I guess she never seen the movie lol I have unknowingly used Prince Humperdincks line for many years without realizing it till I heard that line tonight again "Unless I'm wrong, and I'm never wrong"... I use it at work a lot lol... mainly cause my work mates aren't too bright ... So many great lines, great characters, and I'm actually happy for once. Thanks KL :)

Just a side note Cary Elwes play a great character in the movie Robin Hood: Men in Tights if you need another goofy Mel Brooks movie

William Goldman is generally considered one of the greatest screenwriters of all time. After writing a couple of novels and dipping his toe into screenwriting, he was trying to write another novel when he hit a wall, and instead wrote Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), for which he won an Academy Award. Less than a decade later, he won a second Academy Award for adapting the true story of Watergate into All The President's Men (1976) (although I was just reading today while writing this that apparently he didn't enjoy the experience, which is fascinating to me -- it's a great movie regardless). He would also adapt Stephen King's book Misery and do uncredited polishes on A Few Good Men for Reiner. Before The Princess Bride was a movie, Goldman wrote it as a novel. I have to admit, I like the movie, but the novel is really funny, and the novel is also unfilmable, although the movie does its best to approximate the book. The conceit of the book is, you are going to read "The Princess Bride by S. Morgenstern," but before the book starts there is this introduction, which explains that what will follow is a "revised version" of The Princess Bride. The author of the introduction then tells the story about how their father read them this book when they were a child, and when they decided to seek it out as an adult, they discovered the father had secretly been skipping all the "boring" parts. Throughout the book, there are these joke captions placed throughout by the guy from the introduction explaining all the stuff he removed in order to return it to the story as he remembered it, which are absurd and funny in their banality. As you can tell, the movie kinda pays homage to this part of the book with the frame story where the kid is being read the book by his grandfather, but a large part of that gag (that this is the revised version of some longer, less entertaining story) is removed. Still, I do like the movie, and what's also very nice is that among the first half of Reiner's career, during which he did what would be generally referred to as his best work as a director -- This is Spinal Tap (1984), The Sure Thing (1985), Stand By Me (1986), this, When Harry Met Sally (1989), Misery (1990), A Few Good Men (1992), and The American President (1995) (skipping only 1994's North, generally considered one of the worst films ever made) -- pretty much every one of these movies is distinct and different from each other, with Reiner attempting an entirely different tone, style, or approach (and hell, even North was trying to be different, even if it went awry). Even though you've only seen two of these so far that I can recall, you can probably already tell that they're wildly different types of movies. I look forward to you seeing more of his best work.

Another childhood movie for me. One of my all time favs. More than happy to watch this one with you.

I contend that, pound for pound, the most quotable comedies of all time are Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Airplane!, Super Troopers, and Princess Bride.

My boss met Andre The Giant once. He got a chance to go down and interview Andre during a showcase event when he was still wrestling. He was supposed to go to his hotel room at 8:30 the morning after the match, so he went and knocked on the door at the appointed time. Andre, a legendary drinker, was still in bed hung over. So his response to the knocking was to roar so loud my boss immediately turned and went back down to the lobby. He found Andre's manager, who just laughed and said "yeah, sounds about right." He never did get the interview, but he has a picture with him, and Andre's fist is literally bigger than everyone else in the picture's head.

For whatever reason, many people seem to ignore this (and to be fair, it doesn't make much difference as far as whether or not the jokes land), but FWIW, Men in Tights is technically a spoof of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991). This includes me; I saw Men in Tights as a teenager and then didn't see Prince of Thieves until a couple of years ago. Still, thought I'd point it out.

Ann Bostic

Yes, I did know. He’s promoting it at a local venue where they’re going to show the movie followed by a Q&A. 🤩🤩🤩

I once mentioned my best friend is woman, not that I expect anyone to keep track of my personal life, and this is the movie we bonded over. We met as coworkers many years ago. We had the worst boss and as a team of two we had to support each other. We communicated in movie quotes and pop culture references. Any time she asked for my help, I would reply, “As you wish”. Which she still gets a kick out of. I unapologetically love this movie. Once, a couple years after this movie I saw Andre the Giant at the airport. He was huge and intimidating. I wish I had approached him, but I was 14 and simply watched him lumber by. Everyone and everything stopped as he went by. He just stood out like I cannot articulate. I’m glad you enjoyed the movie. This is one where I feel like seeing it as early as possible is important because your life will always be better than it was before you saw it. I’m sure you’ll notice the difference if you haven’t already. ☺️

"I'm sorry, Prince WHAT?" I nearly choked. 😂😂😂 Honestly, this was only my second viewing within the past year (I know, I know) but holy cow, this was so much funnier this time around, and I feel like it'll only get better with each future watch. What a hoot!

"Only my second viewing within the past year" 😅😅😅

Vincent Hollow

Hahaha I should clarify, this was my second viewing *ever*. I never watched it as a kid, but my sisters were OBSESSED with it, and I can totally understand why now. I was always more of a Neverending Story kid, and always kind of brushed Princess Bride off (please don't come for me), so I don't have the childhood nostalgia that most people have of this, but hey, I'm glad this was a "better late than never" experience. If you ever see Neverending Story, if you haven't yet, you will see a remarkable amount of similarities.

Movies with KL

Oh sorry haha I thought you meant you watched this for the second time this year and you were implying that it was fewer views per year compared to your normal amount of watches. I was like WOW you really love this movie!
