The Princess Bride

“Love this movie!”

“Do you have a group of people you need to keep happy? Do you need a medical-grade serotonin boost?  Do you wanna make a fun new rodent friend? Pretty obvious rec, but it’s important to remember just how phenomenal this movie is. Worth facing my severe childhood fear of quicksand. Ugh I just love movies where they fight with swords.”

“I meannnn. This never fails to put a smile on my face and I’m hopeful it can do the same to them. Only concern might be the dueling.”

“My childhood crush on Fred Savage aside, this movie is the underlying blueprint to so many of my other favorites. Parallel storytelling, epic loves, heroes and villains. Truly the GOAT. “As you wish…” forever.”

“A true all timer. My kids watched ut recently and loved it”

“I’ve been waiting years for my kids to get old enough for us to watch this movie together”

“Inconceivable!”

“iconic screen rats”

“My favorite”

“Sentimental and unfunny. Not charming. Tedious. There are movies I don’t like that I’d still sit through with kids, but not this one.”

“"Grandson: Has it got any sports in it? Grandpa: Are you kidding? Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles..."”

“Whenever anyone mentions The Princess Bride, I get the urge to cancel whatever I was planning to do and rewatch The Princess Bride.”

“my ex coworkers once organised a weekend movie social for the princess bride and i lied about having seen it already because i had decided that serving time with them within the metaphorical cell five days a week was sentence enough. in what can only be described as the bittersweet tragedy of retrospection gained a bit too late, i wish i hadn’t made that dumb decision in a fit of naïveté and experienced this little miracle on the legendary screen of prince charles cinema in 35mm while i still lived in my perfectly-imperfect home of six years, london. instead i experienced it beneath the musty covers of a semidilapidated santa monica hostel on a 13 inch ipad screen amid the background cacophony of five strangers snoring in sync. but, even amid the stench and snores, i was transported to a dreamland i had long believed only childhood whimsy could unlock and mourned losing the keys to as a soon-to-be 25 year old with an ever-eroding sense of imagination and ever-amplifying sense of existential malaise. and god it felt good to escape my drab little head for two hours to disappear into reiner’s kaleidoscopic mind of endless possibilities. a great movie made by a great man of great integrity, who will live on indefinitely through both his creative legacy and voice against tyranny, as an enduring reminder that stories will outlive their creator and art will tr(i)ump(h) over avarice. rest in peace rob reiner and thank you for giving the world a piece of you. the kids will remember you very, very affectionately, and that’s not an achievement your detractors can ever claim”

“Just the best, a forever fav S/o to Wesley my childhood crush”
