Princess Bride DVD
Excellent movie. Entertaining revival of a nearly forgotten work. I would recommend. There is something there for everyone.

I had seen this movie several years back. I have a 7 year old daughter and I am very picky about what she watches. This was a movie that I knew she'd love. It has adventure, romance, suspense and it is clean. It only has one cuss word throughout the whole movie. Indigo says "son of a b****." But that is the only place any type of bad language is used. Over all I really like this movie. And would suggest you check it out for yourself.

We quote this movie all the time and decided we need to own it. Very fun but a short torture scene warning for the very faint of heart. Don't let it stop your sensitive viewers from seeing the rest of it - very worth it. Watch for Billy Crystal - "Bye, bye, boys - have fun storming the castle."

Modern day fairytale that everyone will enjoyReview created: 09/06/06

This is one movie you'll never get tired off. I could watch it over and over. Wesley is jsut the hero everyone wants. All the charcters are likable and it shows that you can make a good movie without sex, language or gore.
There are fighting scenes, but they are very mild and basically just for effects.
The movie also portarits how hard it is now a days to get a kid interested in reading a book and how to solve that problem!
We have the movie on VHS and DVD and in two languages, just to make sure that we will always have a copie, because this one you'll want to show to your grandchildren!!

We really like this movie. If you like something like Monte Python, you'll like this. You do have to pay attention to get the funniness. Young people will think it's funny but not for the same reasons as the adults.

Storybook story with a rapier wit ...Review created: 01/19/06
by:
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.
(For those who are wondering, the difference between the 2000 and 2001 releases is that the 2001 is a "special edition" with additional features, but nothing Earth-shattering. The story is the thing, originally released in 1987.)
The Princess Bride is a story within a story with some of the most unforgettable characters ever created. Don't let the fairy-tale title fool you. This is a clever, quick-witted comedy loaded with sharp barbs and impressive details. It is one of those rare instant classics that entertains different ages at different levels, and gets better each time you watch it.
The film's legendary cast includes Cary Elwes, Robin Wright(Penn), Andre the Giant, Shawn Wallace, Mandy Patinkin, Billy Crystal, Carol Kane, Christopher Guest, and Chris Sarandon. Peter Falk and a young Fred Savage round out the cast in the wraparound story of a grandfather visiting his sick grandson.
As the grandfather says, this is a story of "fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles..." Not a moment lags. The rapid-fire banter between characters is impeccably-timed, and as often quoted as Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
My favorite part of the movie is the duel at the top of the Cliffs of Insanity. Beside some genuinely fine swordsmanship, few people realize that the conversation Wesley and Inigo are having so courteously as they battle to the death is chock full of references to real-life master swordsmen of centuries past. Every detail of this scene is pure entertainment perfection, right down to the background music and sound effects.
The Princess Bride is a rich blend of comedy, action, adventure and romance. It is a prized part of my movie collection, and truly a must-have for any aficionado of fine wit. You'll watch it again and again.
To do otherwise would be ... INCONCEIVABLE!

Mom and Dad gave me a love for old movies. I love black and white films. I love Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy and the Marx Brothers. Of course, not everything from the "golden age" of Hollywood was golden. There were plenty of clunkers, too. Today also, a huge number of clunkers come out. Every so often, however, there is gold. The Princess Bride is a sample of the gold that still shows up occasionally. To my surprise, I found out recently that my parents had never seen the movie. We rectified that quickly and they both loved it. The movie is framed by the story of a grandson (Fred...

I have seen the Princess Bride more times than I can remember, having first seen it in Junior High in the Theaters, then on video with dates, and now with my own children on a rainy afternoon. This movie has everything- comedy, love, triumph, and failures. All of them lead to the dreamy idea of wide-eyed girls of princes saving them, and sealing it with none other than that perfect kiss. Let me take you on an Adventure of a lifetime, and let me prove to you why this should be in YOUR video library! First off, this movie has an incredible cast of talented Actors and Actresses. I would like to..

The Princess Bride is a classic movie in so many ways that have already been explained before that perhaps I won t even bother telling you about them. Then again maybe I will. Basically this is a fairy tale, being told by a grandpa (wonderfully played by Peter Falks [Columbo]) to his sick grandson (Fred Savage [The Wonder Years]). This isn t a film about Pater Falks reading a story of course, the story he is telling comes to life. There are so many superb performances that it s difficult to know which to highlight, but Cary Elwes [Robin Hood, Men In Tights] as the hero of the piece a young...

Hoo boy, this should be tough. Not one day removed from my "Goonies Gushing" I am now compelled to review yet another of my all-time favorite movies. But while The Goonies is a slight, sloppy and addictively entertaining adventure, The Princess Bride is something considerable more than that: The Princess Bride is the finest family movie produced since The Wizard of Oz. (OK, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory falls into this very exclusive category also.) Widely adored yet somehow still dismissed as a "cinematic trifle", The Princess Bride is quite simply one of the most entertaining films..
