The Princess Bride

The Princess Bride(1987), was an adventure comedy directed by Rob Reiner, starring Cary Elwes, Mandy Patinkin and Robin Wright. "A kindly grandfather sits down with his ill grandson and reads him a story. The story is one that has been passed down from father to son for generations. As the grandfather reads the story, the action comes alive. The story is a classic tale of love and adventure as the beautiful Buttercup, engaged to the odious Prince Humperdinck, is kidnapped and held against her will in order to start a war, It is up to Westley (her childhood beau, now returned as the Dread Pirate Roberts) to save her. On the way he meets a thief and his hired helpers, an accomplished swordsman and a huge, super strong giant, both of whom become Westley's companions in his quest"(Imdb). It's a wonderful and beautiful comedy, it's witty and truly hilarious, while simultaneously being this stunning, beautiful action film, though it's designed to spoof movies like Zorro, the hyper intense action films. It was wildly popular at the time of it's release, and it actually inspired the creation of the original Kings Quest video game, one of the first from Sierra Games. It ultimately grossed 30 million on a 16 million budget, and it widely considered one of the greatest comedies ever made. Frankly, not liking this movie is inconceivable.
