This is actually my husbands favorite movie but I enjoy it greatly also. You have a boy whos grandfather is reading him a story. The movie cuts back and forth a couple times from them to the story being played out. The story is about a man who loves a girl but then he dissappears. The story includes everything from a giant, a sword fighter, pirate, romance, action, magic, and so much more! There are lines that will stay in your head for a long time after seeing the movie and if you think that is INCONCEIVABLE!! Then you haven't seen this movie :). A must see!!

The Princess Bride is one of the most clever, humorous and touching testimonies to true love ever produced. So why are all the reviews so general and non-descriptive? Methinks ebayers are rushing to pile up mass reviews to achieve top reviewer status. The frame of this movie is a grandfather (Peter Falk) reading a fairy tale to his sick grandchild (Fred Savage). The story line is about true love between a peasant boy (Cary Elwes) and a princess (Robin Wright) and the team of misfits who help reunite the lovers who have been separated by an evil prince (Chris Sarandon) and his sadistic henchman (Christopher Guest). Skits include Wallace Shawn as the wonderfully plotting Vizzini (inconceivable!), the truly dense (mentally and physically) Andre The Giant as Fezzik, Mandy Patinkin as Inigo Montoya (a Spaniard seeking to avenge the death of his father at the hands of the 6-fingered man) and a classic bit by Billy Crystal as Miracle Max together with his wife played by the hysterical Carol Kane. As they journey through the Fire Swamp, the Pit of Despair and into the evil Humperdinck's castle all comes down to whether true love can overcome even death. Wonderful, wonderful for adults and kids of all ages.

The title of this movie may turn some people away from it but let me tell you it is one funny show. I was real impressed with it and was even suprised when my kids actually set thru the whole thing with me. Great show.

Princess Bride is a classic that everyone should see. Don't let the title fool you, this movie isn't all mushy and girly... all the guys I know love this movie!
Comedy and fantasy filled, this movie is a fun watch and so memorable! Enjoyable for the ladies because of the romance and the hunkie hero, and fun for the guys because of the action and the comedy act.
This movie is good for the entire family! Such a wonderful addition to any movie collection!

OK...If you actually haven't seen this movie yet...GET IT! If you are not yet tired of reading outstanding reviews of this movie yet...stop reading and GET IT! If you are interested in a movie that would be worth watching with your girlfriend...GET IT! If you are interested in a movie that would be worth watching with your wife...GET IT! If you are interested in a movie that would be worth watching with your wife, and now kids...GET IT! This is one of the best movies that is watchable (if that is a word), on soooo many levels. No, it's not going to require much thought, it's not Casablanca or anything along those levels, but if you do not yet have this movie in your collection, there is something seriously wrong with you!!! This movie has some of the best actors/actresses that you will see, with great roles for them to play. If you like romance movies...GET IT! If you like adventure movies...GET IT! If you like action movies...GET IT! Get off your butt, and get this freaking movie!!!

This well written comedy will forever be a favorite with my family. It doesn't matter how much time goes by... if we're wondering what to watch and someone says... "How about "The Princess Bride," the yeahs begin!
The entire cast is fabulous! The story is great...As Peter Falk says to Fred Savage (his grandson in the movie) ... this story has fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles...

I was first introduced to this movie when my friend starting quoting it all the time. She kept pretending to be this character called "Buttercup" and this evil guy called "Prince Humperdui... something" was the bad guy. I didn't really get it, but I decided to make my family rent it one time. The name of the movie sounded cheesy, and the cover of the movie was equally, if not more cheesy. I wasn't really looking forward to watching it.
But I'm sure glad I did. This is a really great movie. It is a classic fairy tale, however, its little extra touches are what set it apart. Random things happen that cause the viewer to be intrigued throughout the movie. Funny comebacks and lines are sure to have the viewer give a good chuckle. This movie is not the movie you would believe it to be from the cover. It's so much more than that. It's a true classic that everyone in the family (even the adults) will enjoy.

I bought this DVD as a gift. I know how great the movie is and wanted to share the joy. It is clean, presentable for kids, yet complex enough for all ages. It is a hilarious comedy that gets better the more you watch it! I reccomend it to anyone and everyone. The Princess Bride is a classic!

YOU WILL BE QUOTING THIS HILARIOUS MOVIE!1 of 3 people found this review helpful.
Great comedy for all ages. It is non stop, hitting you with yet another killer line, one after another! It has an awesome cast (includes Cory Elwes and Robin Wright Penn.) The characters are extremely entertaining! A classic comic fairy tale that has all the right stuff; castles, swordplay, giants, an evil prince, a beautiful princess, faithful (& cute) farm boy and more! Moral of the story: True love conquers all. You being disappointed with this movie would be...inconceivable!!!

I decided to buy this movie because a romantic individual recommended it to me and I myself am a romantic. This movie was absolutely worth purchasing. It was unique, sweet, and very special. I was touched by many scenes throughout the movie. It was a fantasy movie which evoked real emotions. I enjoyed this movie because it was fun to watch and the theme was true love.

fast shipping, good product, aside from all of the homosexual undercurrents, and lack of any nipples whatsoever in the entire movie, it was great, i even watched the movie in slow motion just for the desperate hope that i missed a nipple scene while blinking or or fixing myself a fried peanut butter and banana sandwhich. why are there no nipples in the movie? I would like to be put in touch with the director of the movie to ask him personally, or perhaps start an online forum where others can discuss the movie nipplage...or lack thereof. Will ebay facilitate this meeting? it would be greatly appreciated, and your help would not go unnoticed, oh no, i assure i will notice it, and you will be rewarded o great ebay of the net...marry me!

My kids were hesitant when I brought this home along with a few other movies. They werent sold on it but I persisted and told them to try it. Well, now it is one of their favorite movies! (I did the same with them on Caddyshack!) There are SO MANY lines to quote from this movie. Billy Crystal as the soothsayer is HILARIOUS! (as always with him) So many unforgetable characters. There hasnt been a movie like this since!

As far as I am concerned, this is one of the best movies ever made. It is hilariously funny and very clever. I actually already owned the movie in VHS format, but decided to buy it on DVD. This particular DVD copy is the Special Edition with documentary, commentary and exclusive footage; great bonuses for me, since I enjoy this movie so much. The cast is fantastic and the writing and filming superb. I highly recommend this movie for the entire family!

A fairytale for children and adults alike. There is a lot of humor mixed in with a sweet love story. One of my all time favorite movies in which I never get tired of watching. I had another copy of the DVD but gave it away and needed to replace the movie so I found another through Ebay.

This movie is a few years old, however my Grandson had saw it and enjoyed it so much we wanted to buy it. Since I purchased it we have seen it about 20 times already. It is definitely a family movie that you can enjoy with young children. I am sure we will see it many more times.

If you need this review to tell you to watch this movie, here it is. Go see it. Again and again. You will be entertained, you will be delighted and you will now understand many cultural references. Anyone who does not enjoy this film must be dead. Or at least "mostly dead." Now go and have fun storming the castle.

) There are so many things I love about this film, but one of the best things about it is the LACK of foul language! In the entire movie there is only ONE place that an expletive is heard, and that my friends is amazing for these days and times. Rob Riener surprised me by allowing this to actually qualify for a FAMILY movie! It is funny and sweet, and so many lines in the movie you will be quoting yourself and making a part of your memories from the day you watch it. 5 stars on this one!
