Member Rating:  
Based on William Goldman's novel of the same name, The Princess Bride is staged as a book read by grandfather (Peter Falk) to his ill grandson (Fred Savage). Falk's character assures a romance-weary Savage that the book has much more to deliver than a simpering love story, including but not limited to fencing, fighting, torture, death, true love, giants, and pirates. Indeed, The Princess Bride offers a tongue-in-cheek fairy tale depicting stable boy-turned-pirate Westley's journey to rescue Buttercup (Robin Wright), his true love, away from the evil prince (Chris Sarandon), whom she had agreed to marry five years after learning of what she had believed to be news of Westley's death. With help from Prince Humperdinck's disgruntled former employee Miracle Max (Billy Crystal), swordsman Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin), and a very large man named Fezzik (Andre the Giant), the star-crossed lovers are reunited. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

This movie is the perfect movie to watch with the family. Great job Rob Reiner. Great story, all the actors owned their parts. "My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die." has got to be one of the all time classic lines.

The best movie of all time!!!! I have probably seen it a million times, but it still keeps it's sparkle and humor every time I see it. There are two scenes that have a little blood, but it's pretty fake. If your kids have seen "Pirates of the Caribbean" they can definitely handel this. It's the best movie ever!!!! If you haven't seen it yet, you need to!!!!

I can watch this movie over and over, and still be drawn into its magic tale of adventure, fantasy, poetry, pursuit of justice, and "true love." This movie has many quotable scenes you'll remember always.

The Princess Bride is for sure one of my favorite movies. at times it's kind of cheesy but well all need a little of that in our lives. It is definately worth seeing.

Block buster sucks. They keep shipping items out of que order. I hate getting disc 3 of a set before one and two. Also, on a lot of the series, they did not seem to have one of the series available. Then Items they claim are not available, they ship out of the blue. while items they say are available never ship. They seem to not have a clue what they are doing. I also hated the fact that they do not look as discs to see if they are broken upon return- they rely solely on customers reporting broken disc.So if customer ships disc broken or gets broken in the mail, they will ship the disc out (I got 3 in the mail this way). I quit and went to net flix. Less cost and more movies. Also, The searches are not limited to 200 movies max, like Block buster is , so you can browse to other titles easier.
