Next Film: ??????

10/10 - the citizen cane of live action fantasy comedy. It's timeless!

I just bought this not long ago because my finace had never seen it before. Lately anything that I claim was great when I was a kid seems to be much worse than I remember, but this totally lived up to my memories of it. It is a fantastic film from beginning to end,

I have always thought that Cary Elwes would have been a huge star had he been born 40 years earlier, it is like the old Errol Flynn or Douglas Fairbanks movies except with a decent script, good acting, a discernable plot and production values.

Anyway, it is a great film and my fiance was pleasantly surprised that a film that I enjoyed in my youth actually turned out to be good for once.

9 out of 10

I like this movie, though I don't find it as outstanding as some.

8/10

Pretty good, funny bits, and an original take on a timeless tale. Pretty good acting, as well.

8.1 out of ten.

Personally I think this is one of the best fantasy/comedies of all time (right there along with Time Bandits). A truly great story, terrific acting, a perfect blending of seriousness (whose blood didnt curdle when Wesley is screaming his head off getting 50 years taken from his life), and comedy gold. A true gem in both the fantasy and comedy genres (not to mention containing one of the best sword fights in movies, IMO), and a film I would recommend to Anyone with the utmost confidence.

The Princess Bride - 9.25 / 10

This is one of the few movies where when someone tells me they didn't like it, I wonder what's wrong with them. Seriously, how does one not enjoy this film. Wonderful acting, fun action sequences, great comedy and bar none some of my favorite quotes in all of moviedom.

"Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father. PREPARE TO DIE."
"He didn't fall, inconceivable." "Why do you keep saying that word, I don't think it means what you think it means."
"True love is the greatest thing in life, except an MLT. A mutton lettuce tomato sandwich where the mutton is nice and lean. I love that."

10/10. Absolutely love this movie.

Never go up against a Sicilian, when Death is on the line......Hahahaha, hahahaha, hahaha........THUD!

"I do not envy the headache you'll awaken with but for now sleep well, and dream of large women."

8.5/10.

I like it for its camp value. Inigo Montoya is one of my favorite fantasy/comedy characters. However, my favorite part of the movie is the relationship and interaction between the Grandfather and the Grandson.

10/10 This movie is pure genious and I'll agree with Chief, it is one of those movies that if someone doesn't like it you have to wonder about their mental prowess.

INCONCEIVABLE!

I really need to read the book for this and The Never Ending Story one of these days.

It was okay, but I don't think I liked as much as some. 7

CURRENT HCR MEMBER RATING:

THE PRINCESS BRIDE - 8.86 / 10

What he says. 10/10

If I were stuck on a desert island with only 5 movies to watch? This is one of them. (Aliens is another)

Surpisingly, my Wife doesn't get it... but I still married her, in spite of that flaw. I knew it was love when she patiently sat through Battlefield Earth with me... and actually talked to me after the movie... but, mark my words, not getting this movie is a big black mark in the Book of love.... a big one.

Like Spinal Tap said: it goes all the way up to 11 for this one:
11 out of 10.
