The Princess Bride (DVD 2001)

I bought this film after reading the book, that was recommended to me by a friend. I was a little cautios at first as ive been disappointed by films made about books. However this is not one of them , I love the film and have watched it several times. It is a afntastic buy and would recommend it to anyone else xx

i brought this because it was a film i watch when i was little and its dvd i could find in the shop.i was happy the quick postage and low price

By far, the best films EVER made (after Starship Troupers). It has everything you could want from a film. Action, adventure, monsters, pirates, funny lines, swash buckling sword action, a dashing hero, a lovely lady. I liked it so much, I names my son after one of the characters. "My name is Indigo Montaris. You killed my father. Prepare to die!" No DVD colection should be without.

Flight Of The Navigator... The Never-ending Story... Transformers: The Movie (1986)... Back to the Future I and II. Some films encapsulate the 80's and are, rightly or wrongly, oversold in the current clime of bastardizing everything from clothes to music to toys...

The Princess Bride however, is a classic that remains unsullied by the endless re-vamps. Quietly understated, this film is simply a must see.

For many (including myself), a cast that includes Fred Savage (The Wonder Years), Peter Falk (Columbo), Billy Kristal and Andre The Giant needs no more explanation. Coupled with a musical score by Mark Knopfler that is remarkable in its composition and the polar opposite of his stadium rock output of the day, and a story that although childish, is very well executed and is captivating from start to finish.

If you genuinely yearn for times when films where entertaining, amusing and less overblown than the escapist fantasies of today, this is a MUST SEE.

Did I mention Peter Falk is in it?
