I was in the hospital coming out from under anethesia and I was very woozy and the Doctor asked me my name and I said "My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father. Prepare to die." I drifted back off to the sound of hysterical laughter. I rate my friends on how much they can quote from this movie.
It was remade (sort of). Google "Princess Bride Home Movie". It was a word for word remake during the lockdown staring just about everybody (including Elwes) and benefited charity.
This is one of those movies where they nailed the casting, directing, script, lighting, set, etc. Everything just works so well and it takes you on a journey. Love the fact that they cast for the characters, rather than just picking famous people. Shows how much integrity they had.
When Mandy Patinkin told the story of how he had just lost his father to cancer and used that emotion to to say "I want my father back you son-of-a-b*tch!" (like he was talking to cancer itself) It hits so much more when I hear that line and chokes me up every time.
and his other line at the end "Is very strange. I have been in the revenge business so long, now that it's over, I don't know what to do with the rest of my life." he lingered on that and made him change the direction of his life.
When my daughter was young, I introduced to her to what I called "the perfect movie" at a special theater screening. Years later and all grown up, she still agrees!
I shed a tear when Peter Falk looked at Fred Savage and answered "As You Wish". Did it when I first saw the movie and did it again a minute ago. This movie is magical !!! ❤
Not long before his passing, Carl Reiner filmed a reenactment of the scene, with him as the Grandfather and his son Rob as the grandson. It was broadcast as part of an obituary. When HE said "as you wish ", I cried.
I'll never understand why my wife, who loves RomComs and sappy movies, hates this one and how I, who likes action, adventure, and scifi movies loves it. This movie has everything!
omg me too! I am the "shoot 'em up" & sci fi geek in the family & my partner, whose annual Christmas movie is "Love Actually" just does not get The Princess Bride! I have seen it hundreds of times, I know every line and still I love watching it - he saw it once (at my insistence that he would love it!) & was all 'meh.' He's lucky we are still together after that! 🤣🤣
I think the beauty of the movie is that the author was also the screenwriter; and the perfect casting. The wit, quirkiness, depth of character, chemistry and brilliance (dialog with granddad and grandson) is unparalleled.
It also helps that William Goldman is one of the best storytellers to ever walk this planet. I was born in the same town he was (Highland Park, IL) and I found that out after I was already a longtime film nerd.
Equally important is a director who gets it. Often lost in the praise for this film is the fine attention to genre detail. The sword fights are worthy of Errol Flynn (whom Carey Elwes is carefully dressed, made-up, and directed to look exactly like), the cinematography is 50s-epic rich, the performances are straight out of any classic Hollywood swashbuckler... it's just that the actors deliver funnier lines while they're doing it. If not for all of it, this movie wouldn't be the landmark that it is.
In 1976, my sister read this book for her high school sophomore English class. She gave it to me and said I should read it. I remember the last paragraph was all about the world's best kiss - - a kiss so wonderful it couldn't be described in the book. We sent away to get the full description - - there was an address at the back of the book to mail $1 to along with your request!! haha . . . Can't remember what we got back. The next year, I went away to college. I scoured the University of Idaho's library for the "long, boring original" version that was described at the beginning of Goldman's book written by S. Morgenstern. I called home and asked my sister if I had the author's name and title correct. She laughed and laughed!! She said, "That was just part of the story! That S. Morgenstern book was made up by Goldman." I can still feel the embarrassment of being laughed at by my little sis. I introduced my husband to the movie years later when we bought our very first VHS video player. And all these years later, it is a favorite of our 4 grown kids. My daughter, for her wedding day, asked her acoustic guitar player to learn Mark Knopfler's "STORYBOOK LOVE" from the soundtrack. Thank you, William Goldman, for the best book/screenplay ever. Thanks to Mr. Reiner and cast for the perfect fairytale.
Oh, thanks for solving this mystery for me! I watched this and kept wondering about the Morganstern book! So it's not real, just part of the story. That "meta" they talk about, story within a story.
I don't know anyone that does not love this movie, I saw it in the drive in at 17 with my future husband and years later introduced it to my children who adored it. It has done more than stood the test of time, it has been a movie that has seen 3 generations in my home and I am sure many others!
In the fall of 2018, I took a college theatre course and their department was showing "The Princess Bride" as part of their orientation. The professor asked the class for a show of hands who had seen it. As my 49-year-old hand was the only one going up, I said, "Inconceivable!" NO ONE GOT IT.
I encounter opportunities to quote the film in my Western Civ classes, populated mostly by Freshmen. Rarely do I ever run across one that has even the slightest idea what I'm talking about. It's disheartening.
Love this film...but, this felt more like a recap than an actual cast reunion. It would've been great to hear more from the cast and about bts stories, etc. than random unknown people retelling us the story we aready know.
Absolutely!! Right on. Lamest reunion ever! Fans don't need a recap.. We want the gritty emotional details from the cast. The only cool part of this was Billy Crystal showing us he kept Max's hat. Everything else was garbage.
the princess bride is an absolute classic. my husband, kids (now 19 and 26) still watch it about once a year we all love it so much. thanks for this special!
One of my favorite parts of the entire movie is when Wesley and Buttercup just enter the Fire Swamp and they look around and Wesley says "It's not that bad." And the LOOK Buttercup gives him, THAT was priceless. It was sort of a "What is WRONG with you???" look. That look was incredible. It's a bit subtle compared to the rest of the movie but maybe that's why I love it so much.
The Princess Bride, is my ALL TIME, fantasy, fairy tale princess, period comedy!!!! The lines in this movie, they will be quoted for generations and generations. It’s a classic!!!!
When Mandy Patinkin (the Spaniard) finished watching the Premiere of The Princess Bride, he said he sat in his seat and wept, knowing there would never be a greater work than this one. I whole-heartedly agree. This is the only movie I have ever watched more than twice... or more than 15-20 times... truly the greatest, most endearing film of all time.
Can’t believe it’s been 35+ years! Lovely sweet, funny film, great casting, great memories! Same year I got married to my own prince, still going strong! 🥰🏴🇬🇧
Some times we are blessed with greatness...and other times we are witness to genius. When those two cme together the result is always perfection. This movie is blessed with greatness in the form of the cast, and filled with the genius of the writer and director......PERFECTION.
I remember when I was young I stayed up all night to finish it. I was thrilled to learn there was a movie about it and I loved it. All these years later the story has stayed with me.
Is there ANY other movie that has more quoted lines than The Princess Bride? Hands Down, one of the all time best films due to how quotable and beloved it has remained over the years.
There's only one movie to equal it. Young Frankenstein. PUT the CANdle BACK. He VASS . . my BOYFRIEND! Hello, Handsome! Talk about the Olympic ideal! Walk this way. Sweet mystery of life at last I've found youuuuu. And, of course . . . my grandfather's work was DOODOO! Hearts and lungs are tinkertoys! I'm talking about the central nervous system.
One of the best movies of all time. I have it on video tape VHS and still play it in a tv i've had for years!!! I love this movie. "Will it work?" "It would tKe a miracle" Lol This movie Made me fall in love with Billy Crystal
“It just so happens that your friend here is only mostly dead.” Is my favorite line in the movie. Possibly because my CPR teacher often emphasized that the only people we do CPR on are already technically (clinically) dead.
I worked at a children's holiday home when this film was released, so watched it every week at the cinema with each new batch of kids, for the entire run ❤
This is a movie that multiple scenes can be quoted by nearly all. Case in point, when I was giving my Best Man's speech at a friend's wedding, I started quoting the Impressive Clergyman and everyone was quoting along with me.
We watched Princesses Bride with our kids and now they're all grown up and constantly repeating phrases from the movie to this day.......even with the accents 😊 My Grandkids also love the movie❤❤❤❤
I was hoping for cast and crew commentary not a verbal explanation of a movie I have seen dozens of times. Still an amazing movie and group of individuals.
I highly recommend the audio version of "As You Wish", which is co-written by Carey Elwes about the making of the film. There are interviews with many of the actors and creators, and its really fun. ☺️
Agreed. As soon as I started reading the book, and saw there were quotes, I knew the audio book would be awesome if they had the actual actors speaking on it. I was not disappointed.
I loved, loved, loved this fantastic movie. Every part played by the perfect actor, memorable in every way. I've never heard so many lines from another movie. Fun, funny, endearing to the core, a classic to live forever. Heartfelt thanks for this revisit, so good to see them again, they've hardly changed and all look marvelous ❤
One of my absolutely FAVORITE movies of all time! I even have Quantum Mechanix's "Wesley as the Dread Pirate Roberts" standing with sword in hand on my desk facing me as I type this. 😊😉👍
In case any diehard fans somehow missed it, there was a "lockdown" reboot of actors on their phone cameras & whatever props they could muster at home. It is here on UA-cam & a must see. It is not the full movie, and the cast changes, but I love it ! It's like a loving tribute to the movie and actors.
I've seen "The Princess Bride" about a half a dozen times, the first of which was maybe ten years ago. I just can't get enough. There are so many great lines. The "inconceivable" montage was a gift. So was watching Robin Wright doing physical comedy by tumbling downhill.
In this time of a writer's strike the fact that the original author of the novel, William Goldman, adapted his own work into a screenplay *really* makes it work. The book is wonderful but has so many indulgences and footnotes that it takes a very deft writer to adapt it. Everyone else's contribution is important, but the foundation is the script.
Yes. Often people say "nobody else could have played that part" or "that part was made for them" When in reality it's the Script! But then again there are a few who write a new script as they are acting it out, Billy Crystal, Robin Williams, Mel Brooks & Kevin Hart just to name a few...
I'm 50 now and l don't know how many times I watched it when it came out my uncle worked at the local movie theater so I had free admission all the time to any movie from 1982 to 2005 when he retired 😢 took my first real girlfriend to this and snuck in to the back of the theater and well snuggled a bit great memories As you wish my lady 😘 Thers so many great people both in front of and behind the cameras Great movie great memories 😂❤
Every moment of this video is pure magic. Thank you for sharing this fabulous video. It’s inconceivable that so much time has passed since the film’s release.
This is one of my all time favorite movies. I love it on many, many levels. It is stellar storytelling. I love all the sub plots and characters but Inigo Montoya's mission to avenge hs father was deeply moving to me.. The movie came out a few weeks after my father died in 1987. He had endured a very profuondly stressful period created by other people's actions that I consider to be a major contributing factor in him developing the pancreatic cancer that killed him. He passed the day atfer he was diagnosed. Time is a great healer and this movie was a very early part of that process for me. Time to watch it again!
To this day if the Princess Bride comes on any of the streaming channels, I have to watch it all over again! It’s right up there with It’s A Wonderful Life with James Stewart.
This is my feel good movie. When I need laughs I turn it on. My husband knew I had a rough day a few weeks ago and turned it on for me. Absolutely perfect movie. This a d Men in tights are some of the best comedies ever made.
I loved it, showed it to my kids, and they to theirs." This is Spinal Tap" and " Princess Bride," are two marvelous Rob Reiner timeless films. My kids and I also delighted in Spinal Tap. One of my sons was in a band as a teen, and says the ridiculous scenes are not that far off ftom his own memories. Brilliant script, brilliant acting, brilliant directing. A win win for multi generational experiences.
I've always felt that too! Want to redo that movie? Just have Special Showings on the big screen again! It's great to watch it at home whenever you want to, buy seeing on the big screen! An old theater in town shows Holiday Inn and White Christmas on the big screen every year, and it's amazing! You have to make reservations to get in and but your tickets early if you want to sit together in a decent place. They charge a million dollars for a bag of all you can eat popcorn and the same for the free refills on your million dollar drink. Keep the cup and you can get refills forever - if you take care of your cup. Trying to remake a perfect movie that has aged perfectly is crazy. I hope they never find anyone crazy enough to try.
@@alicecain4851 well put.... some movies should NOT be remade.. its aged perfectly.. you could actually re-release it TODAY, and i think make... $5-20 million.. who knows.. i would love to go see it again..
I absolutely agree (and also with the other comments too). They should prescreen this at every milestone anniversary there is. It will make them far more money than ANY remake ever would. And for only the cost of the updated refreshed film prints (as they do wear out after all) and for all of the various (obvious) associated costs for rereleasing films. Far and away, a lot cheaper than making it from scratch. And the fan base would make it well worth their while. And Especially if it’s advertised this time properly round.
Unfortunately I had this stop this in the middle so I could watch The Princess Bride once again for probably 100 times one of my all-time favorites and one that you can't get tired of watching like my favorite movie of all time Cool Hand Luke I can only watch that every maybe 5 years or more I believe The Princess Bride to be the most overwhelmingly epic story of all time and the fact that they turned it into a movie with such Grace and communion it's just inexplicable
Saw this movie first at a youth lock-in at church in 1994. It was perfect then, and as I've watched it with my kids, it really is one of those few movies that transcend all ages, generations, decades, genres.
My youngest son and I use to watch this movie a few times a year when he was little. I still watch it a couple times a year. My son bought me a sweatshirt with The Princess Bride on it a couple of years ago, I love it!
I was 18 in 87. I remember the first time I saw this movie on cable. Didn't know a thing about it. Honest to God, I didn't realize it was a comedy until 'the sword fight'. It, of course, changed my life. Now, a few years later, I am old enough to appreciate so much more about this movie. The actors, the writer, the director... just the entire process of making a movie. But this movie is Cinematic History. It is loved SO much by SO many people. It's no wonder that so many of them went on to have solid, if not stellar, careers. From the very deepest parts of my heart, I want to thank each and every person that went in to the making of PB. You influenced more lives with this movie than you will ever know. Thank You.
My sons babysitter talked me into watching this with my son. She let me borrow her video over the weekend. I was like the Grandson...and she The Grandfather. She even repeated the Grandfather word for word, telling me about it. My kid even talked me into it, so we went home and watched it...and again...and again. Now, I talk others into watching it.
One of the few movies I can honestly say is a favorite and have watched several times. Sure, there are some I've watched twice, maybe three times, but this one seriously rates in the top-tier in my book. Here's to the 36th anniversary of a great movie. Time to show it to my grandkids...
Couldn't think of a bigger waste of time listening to unknown faces from People narrating not only the story beats but character motivation ad nauseum . For people curious about the movie who haven't yet enjoyed the movie, these were tediously overdone spoilers. Then they pair the narrations with clips of the movie. Surely the intended audience for this was fans of the movie who have already watched the movie multiple times. I tuned in to see the current day actors reunion and I enjoyed the behind the scenes stories, which were all too brief. 90% of the time watching this article I wish I could get back. They stole 30 minutes of my life away! I could cry like Westley on Rugens torture table.
One of my favourite movies ever. My daughter was 8 when it came out - she's now one of those people who can quite the entire script. Great movie, great script, great actors. The minor roles were terrific too! Peter Cook as the bishop, Mel Smith as the albino.
The book keeps refering to the "Extended Edition". Believe or not, I looked for that edition for months until I finally understood it doesn't exist. 🤣🤣
Every bit as important is the perfect theme song written by Willy DeVille as the credits rolled, the audience sat listening to the perfect song, entitled 'Storybook Story' .... Perfection. Willy DeVille / Mark Knopfler
Born in '80. Watched this when I was 6 or 7 and have loved it ever since. It's a timeless movie that will be watched for generations to come. I would know. My kids love it, too.
I'm a 60 yr old, straight woman living in a very, very conservative area of the deep south, and you, my dear, are an absolute precious treasure! You are just adorable! I'm so glad I found your channel, and look forward to enjoying your future content.
I really enjoyed this movie and loved the cast who were perfect for it. I was really surprised 20 years later that my teenage sons could quote so many lines from it. Si funny to hear it was one of their all time favorite movies. They also love the Men in Tights movie. 😂
I was in the hospital coming out from under anethesia and I was very woozy and the Doctor asked me my name and I said "My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father. Prepare to die." I drifted back off to the sound of hysterical laughter. I rate my friends on how much they can quote from this movie.
That's hilarious, well played.
😂😂😂 Great story! The doctors and nurses would have loved that. (Saying that as a nurse. We need those moments of humor in our day.)
You were brought up right.
That is classic!
Some people dream of being president or an astronaut. This… this is what I aspire to 😂
I hope that The Princess Bride, NEVER get's remade. It is perfect the way it is.
I'm shocked they haven't done so and ruined it like so many others because Hollywood seems to have run out of original ideas
It was remade (sort of). Google "Princess Bride Home Movie". It was a word for word remake during the lockdown staring just about everybody (including Elwes) and benefited charity.
the pandemic remake was about the only way you could. it was a fundraiser for world kitchens. if you haven't seen it, it is worth it.
does this one count? ua-cam.com/video/29s1yU3nGkQ/v-deo.htmlsi=hy7faoiOrQxX7te3
I think its the perfect movie to remake. Have Fred read the book to his grandchild and then it's from that child's imagination.
This is one of those movies where they nailed the casting, directing, script, lighting, set, etc. Everything just works so well and it takes you on a journey. Love the fact that they cast for the characters, rather than just picking famous people. Shows how much integrity they had.
Lousy soundtrack. Needed acoustic. Badly
@@adelinetomasone1421 Obvious troll is obvious.
Wonderful Mark Knopfler soundtrack, amazing costumes & locations & my favs the ROUS’s 🐀

I didn't know that about his father. The line definitely hits so much harder.
ya after I saw him talk about it the li e never felt the same it elevated it and at the same time ga e it so much more weight
and his other line at the end "Is very strange. I have been in the revenge business so long, now that it's over, I don't know what to do with the rest of my life."
he lingered on that and made him change the direction of his life.
He is still alive?? And a beautiful vocalist 😍 Letterman " over the rainbow ".
@@aprilcraddock169 Mandy Patinkin, great voice! Saw him in Evita on Broadway!
One of the great movies of my youth. Loved this. RIP Andre the Giant.
RIP Peter Falk. He’s gone too, sadly. 😢
And Peter Cook and Mel Smith and Margery Mason and Annie Dyson and Willoughby Gray and Willy DeVille.
When my daughter was young, I introduced to her to what I called "the perfect movie" at a special theater screening. Years later and all grown up, she still agrees!
This has remained one of my, all time, favourite films.
I shed a tear when Peter Falk looked at Fred Savage and answered "As You Wish". Did it when I first saw the movie and did it again a minute ago.

You have to say it with the accent!

I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t like this movie 😮

As my 49-year-old hand was the only one going up, I said, "Inconceivable!"
NO ONE GOT IT.
It's because you didn't lisp. It has to be, "Incontheivable!" Signed, a 62-year-old.

Yeah, this is barely a reunion video. It is a recap told by non cast members. Very disappointing.
True
indeed
Agreed. If you all want some of that, catch "The Princess Bride: An Inconceivable Evening with Cary Elwes" if you can. It's terrific!
Just watching Cary giggle whenever Billy was telling the stories made my night.
the princess bride is an absolute classic. my husband, kids (now 19 and 26) still watch it about once a year we all love it so much. thanks for this special!
So, essentially, your children are now the same ages that Cary and Robin were at the time this movie was filmed
@@karlsmith2570 indeed! i never thought of that. 😃
One of my favorite parts of the entire movie is when Wesley and Buttercup just enter the Fire Swamp and they look around and Wesley says "It's not that bad."

It's a bit subtle compared to the rest of the movie but maybe that's why I love it so much.
When I introduced my fiance to the only house we could afford in this town, I said that line. THE LOOK.
".....................................these go to 11."

The Princess Bride, is my ALL TIME, fantasy, fairy tale princess, period comedy!!!! The lines in this movie, they will be quoted for generations and generations. It’s a classic!!!!
I freaking love the Princess Bride!! The cast was epic!!
Poor kids of today. Movies today can’t hold a candle to classics like these.
At least they have these 30-somethings to "like, um, y'know, basically" walk them through it. :)
They DON'T make movies like this anymore
When Mandy Patinkin (the Spaniard) finished watching the Premiere of The Princess Bride, he said he sat in his seat and wept, knowing there would never be a greater work than this one.

I highly recommend the audio version of "As You Wish", which is co-written by Carey Elwes about the making of the film. There are interviews with many of the actors and creators, and its really fun. ☺️
Thank you! I am putting this on my list now. :)
I wonder why Fred Savage wasn't there
I second this! The audio version. 👍🏻👍🏻
@@marshawargo7238 Or Mandy P. or Chris Guest. Would have made it that much better
Agreed. As soon as I started reading the book, and saw there were quotes, I knew the audio book would be awesome if they had the actual actors speaking on it. I was not disappointed.
Iconic movie three generations of my family have watched it.
I loved, loved, loved this fantastic movie. Every part played by the perfect actor, memorable in every way. I've never heard so many lines from another movie. Fun, funny, endearing to the core, a classic to live forever. Heartfelt thanks for this revisit, so good to see them again, they've hardly changed and all look marvelous ❤
Princess Bride is a classic...my family and I have watched it at least 30 times.
One of my absolutely FAVORITE movies of all time! I even have Quantum Mechanix's "Wesley as the Dread Pirate Roberts" standing with sword in hand on my desk facing me as I type this. 😊😉👍
In case any diehard fans somehow missed it, there was a "lockdown" reboot of actors on their phone cameras & whatever props they could muster at home. It is here on UA-cam & a must see. It is not the full movie, and the cast changes, but I love it ! It's like a loving tribute to the movie and actors.
Still watch this movie every Spring. I love this movie.
My all time favorite movie!!! We've watched it over and over, a part of my childrens childhood memories.❤
One of the greatest movies of all time. 💕
Great? I don't think I would call it Great.
It is more sublime perfection, to me.
Hands down, my favorite movie of all time!
One of the best movies ever❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Cary elwes was gorgeous in process bride and he is still a good looking guy today 😍👏 I love him in robin hood men in tights
I've seen "The Princess Bride" about a half a dozen times, the first of which was maybe ten years ago. I just can't get enough. There are so many great lines. The "inconceivable" montage was a gift. So was watching Robin Wright doing physical comedy by tumbling downhill.
In this time of a writer's strike the fact that the original author of the novel, William Goldman, adapted his own work into a screenplay *really* makes it work. The book is wonderful but has so many indulgences and footnotes that it takes a very deft writer to adapt it.
Everyone else's contribution is important, but the foundation is the script.
Yes. Often people say "nobody else could have played that part" or "that part was made for them" When in reality it's the Script!
But then again there are a few who write a new script as they are acting it out, Billy Crystal, Robin Williams, Mel Brooks & Kevin Hart just to name a few...
"Have fun storming the castle" would be a nice tattoo.
I'm 50 now and l don't know how many times I watched it when it came out my uncle worked at the local movie theater so I had free admission all the time to any movie from 1982 to 2005 when he retired 😢 took my first real girlfriend to this and snuck in to the back of the theater and well snuggled a bit great memories
As you wish my lady 😘
Thers so many great people both in front of and behind the cameras
Great movie great memories 😂❤
Best movie ever so timeless. Sad Mandy wasn’t in the reunion though
This movie really has everything, I think that’s what makes it so iconic. Plus the stellar casting, cast, and quotability.
I watched this just so very much. And still love it. Seeing them now still loving it themselves is just great.
Every moment of this video is pure magic. Thank you for sharing this fabulous video. It’s inconceivable that so much time has passed since the film’s release.
This is one of my all time favorite movies. I love it on many, many levels. It is stellar storytelling. I love all the sub plots and characters but Inigo Montoya's mission to avenge hs father was deeply moving to me..
The movie came out a few weeks after my father died in 1987. He had endured a very profuondly stressful period created by other people's actions that I consider to be a major contributing factor in him developing the pancreatic cancer that killed him. He passed the day atfer he was diagnosed. Time is a great healer and this movie was a very early part of that process for me. Time to watch it again!
To this day if the Princess Bride comes on any of the streaming channels, I have to watch it all over again! It’s right up there with It’s A Wonderful Life with James Stewart.
I watch this movie every chance I get. So memorable ❤
This is my feel good movie. When I need laughs I turn it on. My husband knew I had a rough day a few weeks ago and turned it on for me. Absolutely perfect movie. This a d Men in tights are some of the best comedies ever made.
For me it’s True Lies, LA Story and Dave.
True Stories is a fave.
I adore Princess Bride!
My kid is 9 years old, this will be the year that she'll watch TPB with me. I think she'll love it.
I loved it, showed it to my kids, and they to theirs." This is Spinal Tap" and " Princess Bride," are two marvelous Rob Reiner timeless films. My kids and I also delighted in Spinal Tap. One of my sons was in a band as a teen, and says the ridiculous scenes are not that far off ftom his own memories. Brilliant script, brilliant acting, brilliant directing. A win win for multi generational experiences.
This wasn’t a reunion. This was a recap. I think we all know the movie, I just wanted to see the actors interviewed!
Exactly what I thought. Stopped watching it
Same
🎯
Plus, Mandy Pattinkton is absent..
It was still great for me.
I loved it!
this is a movie so perfect, ANY attempt at a reboot, will just be an insulting attempt at a cash grab..
the cast is irreplaceable...
I've always felt that too!
Want to redo that movie?
Just have Special Showings on the big screen again!
It's great to watch it at home whenever you want to, buy seeing on the big screen!
An old theater in town shows Holiday Inn and White Christmas on the big screen every year, and it's amazing!
You have to make reservations to get in and but your tickets early if you want to sit together in a decent place.
They charge a million dollars for a bag of all you can eat popcorn and the same for the free refills on your million dollar drink.
Keep the cup and you can get refills forever - if you take care of your cup.
Trying to remake a perfect movie that has aged perfectly is crazy.
I hope they never find anyone crazy enough to try.
@@alicecain4851 well put.... some movies should NOT be remade.. its aged perfectly.. you could actually re-release it TODAY, and i think make... $5-20 million.. who knows.. i would love to go see it again..
I absolutely agree (and also with the other comments too).
They should prescreen this at every milestone anniversary there is.
It will make them far more money than ANY remake ever would.
And for only the cost of the updated refreshed film prints (as they do wear out after all) and for all of the various (obvious) associated costs for rereleasing films.
Far and away, a lot cheaper than making it from scratch.
And the fan base would make it well worth their while.
And Especially if it’s advertised this time properly round.
@@mareky1234 i would pay to go see this movie in theaters again #CaryElwes
Unfortunately I had this stop this in the middle so I could watch The Princess Bride once again for probably 100 times one of my all-time favorites and one that you can't get tired of watching like my favorite movie of all time Cool Hand Luke I can only watch that every maybe 5 years or more I believe The Princess Bride to be the most overwhelmingly epic story of all time and the fact that they turned it into a movie with such Grace and communion it's just inexplicable
The book is a very good read ❤
Mark Knoffler beautiful ending song. Special movie great cast,and director 👏
This brought back so many wonderful memories. Thank you!
Saw this movie first at a youth lock-in at church in 1994. It was perfect then, and as I've watched it with my kids, it really is one of those few movies that transcend all ages, generations, decades, genres.
One of my all time favorite movies .
One of my all time favorites forever!
One of the best movies ever!
One of my top favorite movies for both my daughter and I . I still laugh out loud !
That was fun, thanks for making it available.
My youngest son and I use to watch this movie a few times a year when he was little. I still watch it a couple times a year. My son bought me a sweatshirt with The Princess Bride on it a couple of years ago, I love it!
I was 18 in 87. I remember the first time I saw this movie on cable. Didn't know a thing about it. Honest to God, I didn't realize it was a comedy until 'the sword fight'. It, of course, changed my life. Now, a few years later, I am old enough to appreciate so much more about this movie. The actors, the writer, the director... just the entire process of making a movie. But this movie is Cinematic History. It is loved SO much by SO many people. It's no wonder that so many of them went on to have solid, if not stellar, careers.
From the very deepest parts of my heart, I want to thank each and every person that went in to the making of PB. You influenced more lives with this movie than you will ever know. Thank You.
I have never been one to memorize lines of a movie, but I remember A LOT of the lines in this movie. I love this movie.
My sons babysitter talked me into watching this with my son. She let me borrow her video over the weekend. I was like the Grandson...and she The Grandfather. She even repeated the Grandfather word for word, telling me about it. My kid even talked me into it, so we went home and watched it...and again...and again. Now, I talk others into watching it.
One of the few movies I can honestly say is a favorite and have watched several times. Sure, there are some I've watched twice, maybe three times, but this one seriously rates in the top-tier in my book. Here's to the 36th anniversary of a great movie. Time to show it to my grandkids...
I have loved this movie ever since I saw it in the theater in 1986
Why are they describing the movie?
We've seen it!
Inconceivable!
Totally! What a waste of a video.
Couldn't think of a bigger waste of time listening to unknown faces from People narrating not only the story beats but character motivation ad nauseum . For people curious about the movie who haven't yet enjoyed the movie, these were tediously overdone spoilers. Then they pair the narrations with clips of the movie. Surely the intended audience for this was fans of the movie who have already watched the movie multiple times. I tuned in to see the current day actors reunion and I enjoyed the behind the scenes stories, which were all too brief. 90% of the time watching this article I wish I could get back. They stole 30 minutes of my life away! I could cry like Westley on Rugens torture table.
@CadTrii234 Have you seen the movie made by actors?
If not, search:
the princess bride home movie full
Actually, I haven't seen it. But now I'll make it my mission, so not a wasted video.
@@gaysy1st And when you do see it, you'll get my joke.
One of my favourite movies ever. My daughter was 8 when it came out - she's now one of those people who can quite the entire script.
Great movie, great script, great actors.
The minor roles were terrific too! Peter Cook as the bishop, Mel Smith as the albino.
the book reads Exactly like the Movie.
its incredible. a perfect Book and
a Note for Note perfect Movie
The book keeps refering to the "Extended Edition". Believe or not, I looked for that edition for months until I finally understood it doesn't exist. 🤣🤣
There are only two perfect movies where not a single scene was wasted: The Princess Bride, and Galaxy Quest.
Every bit as important is the perfect theme song written by Willy DeVille as the credits rolled, the audience sat listening to the perfect song, entitled 'Storybook Story' .... Perfection. Willy DeVille / Mark Knopfler
Thank you! I just made a similar comment.
25 years later! Inconceivable.
But it is classic....a movie as you wish!❣
I'm watching this in 2023.
That's a lot more than 25 years ago!
The Princess Bride and The 10th Kingdom.... Best. Movies. Ever.
A modern classic!💕
Born in '80. Watched this when I was 6 or 7 and have loved it ever since. It's a timeless movie that will be watched for generations to come.
I would know. My kids love it, too.
I quoted a line from this on my dating profile as a litmus test for compatibility. 🤓🤙🏾
Such an underrated romcom! ❤
How is it underrated? It is immensely popular.
I'm a 60 yr old, straight woman living in a very, very conservative area of the deep south, and you, my dear, are an absolute precious treasure! You are just adorable! I'm so glad I found your channel, and look forward to enjoying your future content.
This is still one of my all time favorite movies! I bought it on VHS back in thecday, and then again later when CDs came along. I love this movie!
Timeless. Classic.
I'm gonna go out there and say this is the greatest movie EVER made!! A timeless classic!!😄😀😃💖💖💖💯💯💯👍👍👍
I really enjoyed this movie and loved the cast who were perfect for it. I was really surprised 20 years later that my teenage sons could quote so many lines from it. Si funny to hear it was one of their all time favorite movies. They also love the Men in Tights movie. 😂
So enjoyed seeing this. Yes my son and I watched this several times. We never tired of it. I forwarded this to my son. Hope he gets it and smiles.
