it's cheesy as all get out but still one of my favs.. Billy Crystal is a hoot in it and it's one way Andre the Giant is immortalized.

This is a good movie. It's nice to pretend that there are men like him out there who would do anything for love! LOL

A brilliant mix of fairy tale, swashbuckler and comedy. It kind of sticks out like a sore thumb on a SciFi/Fantasy list though.

One of the best family films of all-time. Probably not for the really small kids though. A bit too much dark humor for them. Great cast. Very inventive writing and well paced direction.

This is a cult classic. It's a love story for those who don't like love stories. The fantasy in this movie is great. There are so many quotable lines, it's like seeing it wherever you go.

How can you not love this movie? I didn't want to give it 5 stars because it's not a perfect film, but I thought about it and realized I had fun every time I saw this film, which is about 10 times. And isn't that what matters? Enjoying the movie even if it's not perfect? "The Princess Bride" isn't far off from being perfect, anyway. Great movie.

Ha! I am laughing just thinking about the movie. I like it because I can watch it with my kids and we all laugh (unlike a lot of other crappy kids movies I can't stand to watch). It's not dirty in any way, and there is some fighting, but it isn't bloody, and the good guys win in the end!

MGM The Princess Bride

Pretty good movie, a great performance by the underrated character actor Wallace Shawn in particular.Yet, it's also one of those films that is a sleeper that flies under the radar at first, but then everyone starts to talk about it too much and then they consequently overrate it. That being said, it's worth seeing.

Despite any and all of its faults, I enjoy this movie. When I first saw it on TV, I thought I was going to be totally put off by it (my kids wanted to watch it), but I got hooked on it pretty quickly. I still try to catch it whenever it is shown on TV. It's such a spoof it's enjoyable.

This movie was an amazing mid-evil comedy. I thought that some parts could have been better, but the main plot was amazing. I believe that any one would enjoy this movie if you try to go with the flow of the movie.

Admit it- like me, you thought of the verbally-challenged officiant who said "what is marriage" in that memorable voice on your own wedding day. I sucessfully killed my smile. . .

I love the Princess Bride and everything about it. The casting was brilliant and I can't imagine anybody playing the parts better than the original cast. Cary Elwes was great as the somewhat dry, intelligent Wesley/Dread Pirate Roberts. Robin Wright was wonderful as the beautiful if not naive Buttercup and all of the supporting actors were amazing. Wallace Shawn was hilarious as Vizzini and he was so mean you just love to hate him. The on set filming gave the movie a sort of charm that can never be captured in a studio. All in all, great film with something for everyone.

This movie doesn't have any famous actors aside from Billy Crystal and Fred Savage (whose parts are very small) but it's great. It's a wonderful story, and while it may seem cheesy (1987 special effects really aren't that good) to today's viewers, it's still a good story. I grew up with this movie and loved it, and many people I know still love this movie.

My absolute favorite movie of all time. I can watch it anytime and get sucked into it. The love story is beautiful, the revenge story is classic and the humor is brilliant. "Anybody want a peanut?"

After finally sitting down to watch this I could picture ClassicTVFan pacing back and forth in his mom's basement while shouting the word "inconceivable". Here's a quick impression for you. "You mean there are people on the surface that don't like Star Trek? Well, that's just so wrong it's... INCONCEIVABLE!!"

A good idea that misses by quite a bit due to the wooden performances of the principals. When Andre the Giant is one of the best actors in the movie, you know there's a problem.

This is one of the zaniest film ever made. What makes it so special is that it isn't played goofy, ever joke is played straight faced and with confidence. The characters are brash and convincing and most of them are as lovable as can be.

What a great fantasy movie. Fun and enjoyable for everyone. Slightly on the juvenile side in dialogue and story but not to the point of annoyance for adults. The acting, while not groundbreaking, was above average. Silly and playful are the words I would use for it. An adventure story that has something for everyone. From little girls to mature women, from sons to fathers it sends the viewer on an adventure that rarely lags and is full of very good visuals and interesting characters. So very nice to see this movie rated so highly but odd to see so many negative votes. No matter what age or intellect everyone should enjoy this movie.

This is what a family movie should be-- smart, witty, non-gratuitous, and made for the WHOLE family. Great stuff for adults, great stuff for young people. GREAT STUFF! I wish there were a whole lot more movies like "The Princess Bride."

My family and I have seen this movie many times. I have read the book as well. A movie like this would never be made today. It is too good. It is too far from being just a formula. Sure there's true love, but there's also a Jewish miracle man who gets into a fight with is wife. This movie is absolutely wonderful.

A decent diversion on a rainy afternoon, but not the classic a lot of people think it is. There's really not much originality to it. On top of that, I don't really care for Mandy Patinkin's jabbering.

I thought I would never find anybody who didn't love this movie but then came my brother-in-law I guess he just doesn't like fairy tales. If you require intense serious dialogue and plot schemes this isn't the movie for you. However if you have an imagination and are young at heart you would think this was one of the top ten movies you've ever seen. Swashbuckling, pirates, R.O.U.S., a beautiful princess, a witty hero, a dispicable villian, revenge, Peter Falk, highly quotable lines. What more can you ask for in a movie. How anybody could give this movie less than five stars is INCONCEIVABLE!!!

Princess Bride is a fun movie and definately entertaining, but GREAT! Hello, you people have LOW expectations. It's simple entertainment, nothing else. Doesnt challenge much.

I absolutely loved this movie. Plot - mmm, not much. Basically Prince Humpardink is after Princess Buttercup ( great names ). And there is a lot of fantasy from there on. Like the ROUS ( rodents of unusual size ) etc. Acting??? - Decent but that is as far as you can go with that. However we do get to see 1 1/2 hours of Robin Wright Penn, and that makes it all worth it. ;-), actually this is a fantastic movie, definitely recommended.

Lovely, the only true fairy tale ever filmed. Great acting and great editing, which, in a movie is half the film. Nice humour and a truly magic quality that autoiroby enhances rather than diminish.

The Princess Bride is such a cute movie. It reminds me of my grandfather, he would always read fairytales to me. All of the cast was wonderful. Every child should see this movie. As Wesley would say "AS YOU WISH".

Rob Reiner hit it big when he directed Stand By Me, so he wanted to do a comedy that would entertain us. He spoofed fairy tales and stuff like that, and hit it lucky when he directed The Princess Bride. Billy Crystal was so, so funny as the elf, and Fred Savage was so cute in it.

Fantastic movie! Humor in the tradition of the Holy Grail. Fun characters and plot with a fairytale ending that proves heartwarming for the romantic but definitely not a "girly movie."

I may have seen this movie ten times, but I can't get tired of it. It's great for anyone who has ever been a little kid, and everyone else too. I know people who quote it more often than Ben Franklin, Winston Churchhill, and the Bible put together. Delightful, like a two-hour chocolate sundae.

MGM The Princess Bride

Unconditional recommendation. Very funny, romantic movie. Peter Faulk is great as the grandfather, Cary Elwes and Robin Wright are good as the star-crossed lover; but it's the bad guys who really shine. Hilarious story line with a sweet ending. The only thing that may put people off is the less than beautiful sets and scenery....the giant rats are particulary bad (but try to work past them.).

Only the book is better than this film. Not only is Andre the Giant allowed to play a rhyming ex-wrestler, but Billy Crystal also makes a cameo appearance. If you don't enjoy jokes, sword-fights, a giant man, or eating rodents, there are Disney films waiting for you in the children's section.

My favorite film of all time. Rob Reiner shows his genius in this fantasy film about a poor farmboy named Wesley who falls in love with a girl named Buttercup. The story is filled with love, romance, comedy, action and suspense. I feel it is something that can appeal to all audiences. In addition it supports a huge Hollywood cast, including Cary Elwes, Robin Wright Penn, Mandy Patinkin, Andre the Giant, and cameos by Billy Crystal and Carol Kane. This is one of the greatest films ever made in my opinion.

Princess Bride was a wonderful fantasy movie. It had everything a good story should have- humor, romance, adventure, and surprises. Princess Bride was superbly acted and the characters lived on the screen. More movies like this need to be made. It is a movie children and adults both can love.

MGM The Princess Bride

My favorite movie because it is a very romantic comedy which comes perrilously close to being plain silly, but maintains a feeling of ture love and passion. This movie has some wonderful lines which will leave you hoping for true love and thinking in a most positively possitively romantic way.

This is what isn't in this movie, car chases, aliens and russian spies. Fortunately, this is a winning formula for a quasi medieval, contemporary, romantic comedy. A perfect score for sure.

This movie is one of the worst ever made, I know, I have seen almost all of the sci-fi movies made after 1980, this movie has stiff acting, if you were riding on a roller coaster you'd fall asleep if you were watching this movie. I give it 2 thumbs way, way, down.

MGM The Princess Bride

This movie has it all! As the wise, old storyteller says, "it has everything from wash buckling, sword fighting adventure, to true love." It is a powerful story of the bond of love between a boy and a girl and their unshakable quest to protect it. The villains are humorously ludicrous and the movie's tongue-in-cheek humor will keep you interested.

The Princess Bride is the best fairytale movie. The story within a story helps the action move along and adds a lot of the humor. The acting is wonderful and it leaves the audience with a great feeling. The music and scenery are perfect.

Sleeper hit. Very funny movie yet romantic. Cary Elwes does a good job as the man in black. Mandy Patinkin and Andre the Giant provide good comic relief.

In addition to its profound quotability, Princess Bride is just a great movie. To paraphrase Peter Falk, "It's got romance, swordfights, betrayal, escapes, true love, death, and creatures. What more do you want?" Princess Bride dared to laugh at itself and still be clever. Not many other movies can make that claim.

I really liked this movie a lot. I usually am not a big Sci-Fi person either. Fred Savage kind of bugged me as the little kid the story was being told to. It is a story of finding true love but there is a lot of adventure involved too so you aren't overloaded with romance. It also is very funny.

There is so much to enjoy about this movie. First of all, it is very true to the book (except the omitted chocolate incident and the added roles of Fred Savage and Peter Falk). Second, Robin Wright makes a lovely and strong heroine. Third, there are too many brilliant character actors in vibrant supporting roles to mention here. Finally, this movie contains one of THE BEST fencing scenes of all time, creatively choreographed and skillfully pulled off.
