I LOVE ELWES MORE THAN ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know alot of people think that they're the #1 fan of Cary Elwes, but I really mean this! I LOVE Cary!!!!!!!!!!! I haven't even met Cary and I know he's the greatest!!!!!!!!!!!!! My favorite movie is "Princess Bride". I am going to buy it in two days. Again, I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My life long goal is to meet Cary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! END

I love The Princess Bride!

I grew up watching the Princess Bride; I loved it before I even knew what was going on. I don't know anyone who doesn't like it, and it's definitely a classic--funny that it was rereleased less than a year after my brother unselfishly gave me his copy! The Best Movie Ever Made. END

yes, I am a silly girl

I know every word of this movie. Definitely a 10. I never get bored of watching it. One of the best cult film of the 80's. Elwes rocks! END

The best all-time movie around!!!

I think that this is the best movie that I have ever seen. I remember seeing this movie when I was little and I never knew the name of it. About 5 years ago I saw it on tv and I got the book immediately. If you love the movie then you should read the book. Chapter 1 in the book is my favorite part. I think everyone that reads the book could agree with me. I think that Cary Elwes was awesome in this movie. END

No more rhymes I mean it! - Does anybody wanna Penut?

If you've really seen this movie you will understand my one line summary. If you don't understand then you need to watch this movie again. I know this movie word-for-word. I don't watch the movie, I recite it. I'd take Elwes over DiCaprio any day. This really is my favorite movie and in my opinion the Impressive Clergyman rocks! I also love Buttercup(Robin Wright) and although she is somewhat ditzy she and he(Westley) go perfectly together. After my friends and I saw the movie the cutest couple amoung our friends was always referred to as "Westley and Buttercup" they are still cute together. I can't think of anything else to say about this movie except that it is WONDERFUL, CHARMING, and AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I truly love it!

Humperdink- to the death! Westley- no! to the pain! Humperdink- i don't think I'm quite familliar with that phrase?. Westley- I'll explain, and I'll use small words so you'll be sure to understand you wart-hoged-faced-bafoon. Humperdink- I think that is the first time a man has dared insult me. Westley- It wont be the last. The first thing you lose will be your feet below the ankels then your hands at the wrist then your nose. Humperdink- then my tounge I suppose. I killed you too quickly the last time, a mistake I don't intend to duplicate tonight. Westley- Im not finished. the next thing you lose will be your left eye followed by your right. Humperdink- then my ears I understand. Lets get on with it. Westley- WRONG your ears you keep and Ill tell you why: so that every shrik of every child at your hideousness, every babe that weeps every woman that crys out "Dear God what is that THING" will echo in your perfect ears. that is what to the pain means it means I leave you in anguish wallowing in freakish misery forever.

That is Powerful stuff man! END

I LOVE IT!

I love The Princess Bride. It's one of my favorite books/movies in the entire world. It's funny, dramatic, romantic, and adventerous all at the same time. I've seen the movie so many times that I had it memorized by the time I was 7 years old. Now I'm 15 and I still love it. My dad loves it as much as I do and he's 50. That really shows that it's a book/movie for everyone of all ages. END

This book and the film wrap up my heart.

Westley makes my knees weak. He's like melting honey, and I'm sure Buttercup didn't fully realise what she had. The book and the film complement each other. While the film has the stunning visuals, the book is excellently written, and gives a much fuller explanation of character and situation backgrounds, as well as the amazing extent of the wizardry and hardships and most important, more romantic Westley(sigh)/ Buttercup scenes. For those who need more quotes because they can recite the film, and it's really good for reading aloud too. END

I love this movie!

The Princess Bride is the coolest movie! When I first saw it, I wanted to be like Westley. The last party I went to, we watched the video, and Cary Elwes is better than ever. It's the perfect story for just sitting around and getting a little romace with some very funny lines. END

The best story ever!

This story combines everthing from love, high adventure, comedy, good vs. evil, and action into a lovely "tell it to me again and again" package. I've seen it a dozen times, and will no doubt see it a dozen more. It is my all-time favorite movie/book! END

The 10 is all that needs to be said about this book.

I am 12 years old, and I am an advanced and avid reader. My Literature teacher introduced me to the "Princess Bride" and I loved it. Never had I read such a funny, romantic book. Even my friends,(who usually think the books I read are boring) approved of it 100 percent.I give this book an enthuthiastic two thumbs up!

PS.I could have used more room for my one-line summary of my review. I wanted to say: The 10 is all that needs to be said about my opinion of this book. END

I Loved The Movie

I only saw the movie two days ago but cannot stop thinking about it. It had a bit of everything for every kind of movie lover. I actually liked this movie better than titanic. END

This movie has it all!

I discovered this movie years ago, and it's probably the one film I've watched most times over the years. It has everything, love, adventure, really bad guys, a dashing hero, a beutiful heroine (who unfortunately doesn't have a lot of brains, but I love her anyway), swordplay, humor...It's just plain amazing! See it! END

True love and high adventure

Nuh-uh, *I* am the biggest fan of Cary Elwes. This movie is absolutely terrific, and I also recommend the book. If you have a heart beating in your chest, this movie will touch you. I'd love to speak with other fans. END

A story of unbridled enthusiasm.

This classic fairy tale springs to life in an explosion of colour and sound, thanks to director Rob Reiner's genius. The performance of the lovely Robin Wright as Princess Buttercup is rivaled only by that of Andre the Giant's portayal of the ineminable Fezzik. In addition, the hilarious hijinks of Inigo Montoya as he wastes his life in a hopeless, drunken stupor can be enjoyed by children of all ages. This movie truly has the frivolity of Weekend at Bernie's 2 coupled with the intense malaise of Shaft Goes to Africa.

Simply enchanting!

The Princess Bride is an excellent throw back to those by-gone days of gallantry and chivalry. It has it all. Fencing, fighting, giants, escapes, and true love which conquers all. Anyone with a romantic heart will find The Princess Bride a heart-warming and amusing movie.

My favorite movie EVER!

This movie has EVERYTHING! It's the best!! It's got a great story and wonderful humour that kids and adults will all enjoy! Your movie collection isn't complete without The Princess Bride!

Mere words cannot describe...

Mere words cannot describe how good this movie is! Who needs sex and guts when you've got true love? I was at first disappointed when I saw what my brother had gotten for me. "The Princess Bride?" I said distastfully, "and a princess named 'Buttercup' give me a break!" But I watched it and ended up watching it again and again! I read the book although I like the movie better. Funny, romantic, action... what more do you need?

Enchanting, mystical and pure romance!!!!!!!

What can I say about a movie that has everything? Adventure, torture, princes, princesses, giants, wars, chases, fighting, deception, miracles, witches and true love? This is the only movie I have ever seen that is actually as good as reading a book. It is so magical yet leaves room for your imagination. Who among us has not daydreamed the scene at the bottom of the hill before the fire swamp? All I can say is that this movie is wonderful for everyone because it has everything. Take anyone to see it. My Dad likes it as much as me! This is so NOT a chick flick. So, EVERYONE, WATCH AND ENJOY! END

Pure joy! To be shared with everyone you love

The first time that I saw this movie it just filled me with sheer joy. And to have gone back and seen it over a couple of dozen times (yes, I too have ruined a copy of the video by watching it again and again) really makes you appreciate how well the author and now the director have managed to show the essence of a good relationship...unconditional love. Sure, this was supposed to be a fairy tale. But I'd rather believe that it really happened. You can watch and decide for yourself! END

good old-fashion movie making

One thing I've noted through repeated viewings of this movie is how simply the director put it together (and perhaps cheaply, anyone know the budget for this flick?). If you look closely there isn't a lot of special effects that aren't just good old fashion makeup and costume. But that is the genius of the film. I believe because it was based on such a well written, character driven story (and subsequent screenplay), the director wisely chose experienced comedic actors and allowed them and the text to tell the story. Nothing fancy. I think these elements will keep our interest well into the next century. END
