Play Book Tag discussion

Unlike many of you, I am one of those who remembers life before The Princess Bride. In fact, I remember where I was the first time I saw it on VHS somewhere in the first few years of the VHS becoming popular--most likely 1989, but definitely before the fall of 1990 because it was before I was dating that cellist which was before I dated my now husband. But, and this may come as a shock to some of you fans, I've only seen the movie twice. But that has been enough that there wasn't one scene discussed in this audiobook that I didn't remember, so that's saying something.

What's more, I was never one to stay up late watching SNL and I really didn't know who most of the actors were--Peter Falk, of course, since he played Columbo--but no doubt I'd seen some of them without knowing their names. This was made before Google was born, and certainly before IMDB.

Yes, a solid four stars and I recommend this if you like well narrated audiobooks and have seen this film--even if you aren't one of those people who can quote very line. If you've never seen this film and you live in the western hemisphere or down under, then I suggest you do, since even the Pope and the US president at that time were huge fans, I kid you not. I am sure there are people who don't like this film, since there is no such thing as a film that everybody likes, but it definitely has a wide appeal to people of multiple generations.

Also, the movie is better than the book.
