Around '90 I was going to college and working in a video rental store. My grandmother called up and asked me to rent something for her and some in-laws that were staying the weekend with her. I brought her The Princess Bride. The next day I showed up and these three retired old people were still just overflowing with the movie. My grandmother said,"Can we get something else that is like that?" I just smiled and said there wasn't anything else like it.

For so many reasons, The Princess Bride is, in my humble opinion, the best movie ever made. And it is very telling that the cast still feels a strong bond with each other, and that they all clearly feel very fortunate to have been a part of the amazing phenomenon that is The Princess Bride. And God bless Andre the Giant, may he rest in peace. If any one of those characters had been played by someone else, the magic almost certainly would not have happened.

Of all the movies ever made, this one is, without a doubt, the most timeless! People will be watching it and loving it long after every cast member has passed away. How can you not love this movie?? It is the very best date movie because it doesn't matter how many times either of you have seen it. NOBODY passes up a chance to rewatch The Princess Bride. It is just absolutely perfect the way it was cast and the way it was written. I love these cast memories of the movie! I think my favorite bit of trivia about the movie is how it is basically the story of how William Goldman came up with the story. There is a book like the one the grandfather was reading. Goldman said that his grandfather would tell him this story and he loved it. One day he found the book and was excited to read it and relive the memories, but found the book was not really like the story his grandfather had told him. Turns out his grandfather wasn't really reading it to him. He was just holding the book as a prop and telling him 'about' the story instead of reading it. I've read the book and it is definitely not the same as the movie. His grandfather had cut out all the boring political parts and basically just told him the best parts. I don't remember where I read that at, but I've always liked it. I hope it is true because that is amazing. It's a movie based on the memory of a boy recalling a cherished memory of a very kind grandfather. It inspired me in many of the things I did with my kids when they were little. I doubt any of them will grow up and make a movie about the stories I told them, but I am looking forward to telling their kids the same stories and hopefully creating memories for them as well.

that's an awesome post. I hope I find that interview/footnote. It sounds like that story is a great description of how the movie captures the magic that makes it so timeless.

@rickwilson7282 11 ай бұрын

The funny thing is that Goldman's story about "the good parts" is itself a work of fiction! There was no S. Morgenstern, no long, boring chapters about the political history of made-up countries, no grandfather editing in real time. It's all from Goldman's imagination!

And when he beats Inigo in sword fight but holds him in too high respect and only knocks him unconscious, that makes it a really great movie.

His acting part has to be my favorite in that movie, and that’s so hard to say because literally everyone involved played their parts so perfectly. But inigo… He felt so REAL. Mandy made him so personal and so messy and impatient and broken and human, and in these interviews, it makes it so clear that its because this movie was the experience of a lifetime for him, and not only that, but the inspiration he used for Inigo’s duel with Rugen was imagining he was fighting the cancer that killed his own father.

I'm 72. I grew up watching swashbuckler movies from the Errol Flynn/Tyrone Power/Basil Rathbone era, through the Burt Lancaster/Stewart Granger era and on into Star Wars and Indiana Jones era...and "The Princess Bride" hit me not only as a masterwork in its own right, but as an homage to all the movies that came before and after. On a fantasy level, it worked as well. And on romance and comedy. It was like ordering a cheese pizza and getting a ten course meal with a special wine with each course. I got the story and the fantasy and the jokes all at once. I took my son, born in 1982 to watch it with me in the theater when it first came out. Then I watched it with him and his younger brother when it first appeared on VHS...wore the tape out. Had it on CD, watch it over and over. And now I'm watching KZfaq videos of reunions, first time reaction videos, videos breaking down the fencing scenes. It's a little movie that sort of slipped in...and then enchanted everyone who saw it. The characters are forever young and immortal (Andre, we miss you.) And I still watch it pretty much every year. It's just perfect.

I saw the movie so many times, I sort of had to step away from it for a time; then I discovered William Goldman's novel. It's hilarious ( even the introduction ). For instance, the story tells how Humperdinck's intended marriage to a noblewoman was derailed, and how the kingdoms, enjoying peaceful relations, were basically on a war footing within minutes. It also goes into detail of the greatest recorded kisses pre Buttercup and Westley, including the inventors' names .

I was 16 years old when my friends and I watched this movie by accident in a Saturday evening. We carelessly turned the TV on and started talking about our plans for the night. Needless to say that this movie took us back to the fourth grade watching it. Everything was so interesting! It was like everything we fantasised when kids had just got form right in front of us. This movie isn't a fairy tale. It's "The Fairy Tale" we all dreamed of in our heads and no one had never told it to us before. "I want my father back your son of a bitch!" We insanely screamed at this scene. I'll never forget.

That is truly the things only dreams are made of. And when he was recalling the story and you could see how even after all this time the mere thought of that emotion seemed to bring it right back to him ... at that moment I shared a couple of tears of happiness for him myself. No one in that film will ever be forgotten. It was a beautiful expression of what story telling could be.

Starting around 7:40, when Mandy Pantikin tells about how his realization that he was\is a key part of this magical film (forever), it shows that he completely understood that he is a major figure in a movie for the ages. The Princess Bride is the 1980s equivalent of the Wizard of Oz, and that is what Mandy comprehended. He could SEE it. I would have wept too!! with amazement and gratitude.
