Has to be in the top five of my all time faves, and is a friendship deal-breaker.

So true, oh so true.

I love the Princess Bride so much :)
I quote it to my friends all the time, and we all laugh, and then the ones who haven't seen it feel left out. Then we force them to watch it.

My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

^If anyone hears that and doesn't get the reference, there is something SERIOUSLY wrong with them.

I love that guy! I keep trying to post a gif of that I found, but I keep getting image error. :/

Yeah, gifs are acting odd for me lately, especially the ones made with "Gif Soup." But he's amazing. ^-^

One year, I had the assignment in a writing class to write out the entire fight scene on the Cliffs of Insanity. It was SOOOOO fun.

Anybody want a peanut?

@Abby: I never got cool assignments like that.

@Meli: lol

Same here...

Anyone ever read the book? It's even more epic –– if that's possible.

Also, the fight scene between Inigo Montoya and Westley... Just... Yes.

Wow, all of you think that is a friendship deal breaker? I'm sure glad I like the Princess Bride.

@Jenny: I have not read it. I picked it up once, and didn't get around to it.

Yes, I've read the book! Unfortunately, not the original... Just the "edited" one.

I want to read it eventually. Did the movie follow it well?

Want to read it so bad!

Right?

I believe that is the only version. The whole joke is that there is an actual old book that the author gets his hands on, and he is continually commenting on his experiences with the book, what his grandfather (father? I forget... it's been a while) always skipped, where he found the book, etc. It's hilarious and tantalizing all at once...

Read it!!!! You will not regret it!

@Jenny: I would like to at some point. I had picked it up before I had seen the movie, and didn't really hear much about the book so I wasn't super interested at the time.

:-)

No, I'm pretty sure there's an original... Somewhere... It's rare, though.

So, does anyone else just love the cover of the movie? The flip-font thing just fascinates me!

Anyone own the movie itself?

I do! And watch it ALL the time!

haha... Yes... It had me confused at first... lol.

*raises hand* I own it! On DVD!
I also own the book!

My family still owns it on VCR XD.

Oh, nice!

I guess we should get it on DVD in case anything happens to the VCR... :). Anyone else own it on VCR?

You should get it on DVD! (as should I...)

Nah...I do have a VCR that likes to eat my VHS tapes though. It's quite unfortunate. I have a lot of my childhood favorites on VHS.

Oops, I just now realized that I've been putting VCR instead of VHS :P. Whoops...

lol, I know what you meant though.

A VCR plays VHS.... So it was technically correct...

I have a functioning VCR... and many VHS's...

I also have a functioning VCR and many VHS's.

We watched this in orchestra I had seen it before and I think it's a really funny movie

I love the princess bride! I've read the book too, and it's amazing!

lol... I forgot about that line...

No, you didn't. Do you have 6 fingers on your right hand? I think not. Twas Count Rugen, the most vile man in Floren...

But you don't have six fingers! Nor are you a man! He'll never believe you.

Left hand, Mel... Left hand...

Jennifer wrote: "Left hand, Mel... Left hand..."

Yep... lol

O_O
I am ashamed...

Go ahead. Throw me off the Cliffs.
I deserve it...

lol... We'll forgive you... this time. ;P

Hahaha, I love this movie!! XD

"Life is pain, princess. Anyone who tells you different is selling something."

Yes! Great quote XD "Hallo, my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die."

"Shall I give you my word as a Spaniard?"

"No good. I've known too many Spaniards."
