How could they use sword fighting tips from "The mask of Zorro" when The mask of Zorro came out in 1998 and "The princess bride" came out in 1987 ??? A whole 11 years earlier ???
I just watched ROBIN HOOD MEN IN TIGHTS tonight. It is one of my very favorite movies that I own and watch on a regular basis. Others include Clue, Captain Ron, Joe Dirt, Dracula Dead and Loving It, Idiocracy, Once Upon A Crime, and Chilly Dogs...just to name a few of my favorites. 👍😊
My husband and I were heading to our hometown to get married. I was a nervous wreck. We were packing up everything and I was terrified I'd forget something important; this was it. Our friend took Doug (the guy...) aside and said "I just saw a great movie. Let's kidnap Barb and get her over to the theater." So they literally each got on one of my arms and dragged me to a movie to get me some space. And it was The Princess Bride. Watching this here hit all the feels, in all the ways you can possibly imagine. For almost 37 years, through kids, and moving, and education and breast cancer, I cannot count the times we have said to each other, either word for word, or with love and in deed: "As you wish."
@@chumark54 Thanks. We got old sorta young, and struggle with ongoing health issues. But are grateful for healthy, smart adult sons and a happy home. Our sons live close enough that we get to see them regularly, and they still like us. hehe Which we do not take for granted.
That sword fight really is one of the greatest ever. Jill Bearup, a stage combat enthusiast has a great analysis of it on her channel, but gist is that a fight is only as good as the people doing the fighting, and Mandy and Carey may have started off novices, but they were dedicated to that fight and worked really hard.
I remember when they were advertising for the movie Robin Hood men in tights and Cary was interviewed that they had to take dueling lessons for the movie, I was SHOCKED, since he had just been in princess bride…
@@fuzzblightyear145 It is a good fight scene. I still wish Disney would put classic black and white Zorro on Disney plus. I used to watch it all the time on the Disney channel
I took an introduction to stage combat in my first year of college. When going to the sword fighting the professor showed us that clip since it was so well done
Princess Bride has always been one we have watched a bazillion times and never get tired of. We recently introduced our two granddaughters (ages 8 and 4) to it, and they loved it. Fans of True Love forever.
I lost count of the number of times I've seen it. I showed the Princess Bride to my fourth graders every year on the afternoon before Christmas vacation. They always loved it.
The first time I saw it was in sixth grade, back in the late 80's. Our teacher told us in advance, "We'll be watching a movie on Friday," to which the classroom responded with cheers. When he then revealed that the film would be called _The Princess Bride,_ we all groaned softly in unison. In spite of the lack of enthusiasm, that weekend, it became, and has remained ever since, perhaps my favorite movie. Now an adult, the irony (that I was/am the disinterested little boy) does not escape me. So, do I think I've learned to remain receptive to new experiences? _Only compared to some._
That's awesome! I'd have been giddy if I'd gotten to watch it in my 4th grade class! (I'd also have been time traveling a few decades into the future.) 😂
I watched the Princess Bride with my young nephew. He was like the boy in the movie. At first he didn't want to watch it. But, by the time it was over he loved it like everyone else. It's a very special movie that I enjoy watching whenever it is on..
@@thomaspflasterer7366 I'm glad your still here. My wife run's a flow department "and is very good and writing up cases" for leukemia. She always tries to keep the staff reminded how important it is to analyze the results correctly which isn't easy and isn't easy for the pathologists either. Hang in there and I hope your well!
The dedication of the actors, especially Cary Elwes and Mandy Patinkin, really shines through in the final product. And hearing about Andre the Giant's gentle personality despite his imposing stature adds another layer of appreciation for the film. Truly a timeless classic!
I think I've seen the movie on VHS at least 126 1/2 times. The 1/2 because the tape SNAPPED in the middle of watching! Right at the miracle max scene! We knew the film so well we acted out the rest of the scene without a hitch and laughed through it the whole time. I had to play Westley because I was the youngest and everyone else wanted to have lines! My family also quotes this movie incessantly... Whenever someone leaves the house to do something we say "have fun storming the castle!"
VHS? You could have sticky-taped it back together! You'd have to have taped up both sides of the magnetic strip, but that would be enough to hold it for another 60 viewings! You might notice some tracking issues where the magnetic strip is stretched (before it snapped) but that's part of the -frustration- errm 'Joy' of VHS...
My Husband, son, and I each race small one-design sailboats (single person) on the Ohio River. Our favorite quote, for MANY years, was the line Inigo uses on the getaway ship - - -"I wonder if he is using the same wind we are using?" Classic sailing jargon and completely true!
Patankin's father died during or before the filming of this movie - his line " I want my father back" wasn't but was from the heart of MAndy. Knowing after this years later and the loss of my own father - the line hits hard!

I stopped counting at 117 times. My sister threw a copy of the book at me in High School saying it sucked but I'd probably like it. I did in fact like it, and consider the movie an utter masterpicd.
The Princess Bride is in the TOP TEN of my most favorite movies ever. I have hard copies of it 2 ways plus digital and watch it at least once every 3 months on avg since it was released. I have No Idea how many times that would make but I'm sure it is MANY! I LOVE IT. A movie couldn't get much better that this! 💯🥰🤗💕

It’s in my top 10 movies list too. I enjoy it so much every time I see it - I’ve lost count - and I still spot new details I didn’t notice before. Another of my top 10 movies is Galaxy Quest. Interesting that both of these favorites are funny in the best way.
My partner & I inadvertently traumatized a Taco Bell cashier with the full line of, "I'm not a witch, I'm your wife, and after what I just heard I'm not sure I want to be THAT anymore!" Apparently the poor girl hadn't seen the movie and thought she was seeing a divorce brewing before her very eyes. Took a bit of time for us to explain it to her.
I lost count the times I've watched this movie a long time ago. To this day I still wave and say "Have Fun Storming the Castle". For some reason I still get a tear when Mandy says his famous line, as I just rubbed one after watching this. I also hate when the movie ends. Why can't life be so simple and pure? Inconceivable (not used correctly)
I have no idea how many times I've seen the movie, but it must be at least 20 times for the full movie. The movie is entertainment "comfort food". Like a warm blanket and a cup of hot cocoa while sitting by the fireplace on a cool evening. A timeless story with fantasy, love, action, humor, redemption, mystery, suspense. Reiner did a great job directing. It's clear the actors loved their characters and poured their heart and soul into their performances. The cinematography is gorgeous. The editing could be a master-class, with the pacing being near perfect. Wrap it all up in the beautiful soundtrack by Mark Knopfler. What's not to love about the movie?
I watched it three times when it was first released in movie theaters. In nearly empty theaters. I tried to get my family to go see it, but they wouldn't. I rented it once it was out on VHS and introduced it to my family. I have watched it countless times and everyone I have introduced it to loved it, but especially initially there was a lot of resistance to watching it. So wonderful.
The vhs tape died after my two kids watched it every saturday morning for two years. My two grandchildren watch it on dvd every time they come over to stay.
I've seen this movie at least 30 times. I loved it when it first came out, and love it even more when I watch it with my daughter. She's almost 16 now, and loves it as much as I do.
I read the book in college before the movie was produced. As I was leaving campus, I had a fellow classmate sign my copy (with red text sections). It remains one book and movie where I love both equally. That is very rare.
I popped that line at the wedding rehearsal of a friend. I heard the bride roaring with laughter from her hidden vantage in the 2nd story sound booth. Even the preacher was laughing. The groom said, I knew one of you was going to say it, I should have known It'd be YOU."
I have seen it hundreds of times. My youth group would treat it like 'Rocky Horror' and each would choose a scene to preform. I got to do the fight scene dialogue. 😂😂
Reminds me of how, during the pandemic, a large group of celebrities collaborated, where various people recreated a scene at home, for charity. There were a lot of annoying rich-people shenanigans going on, but that was not one of them--it was quite endearing. The person who had the idea put the whole thing on RUclips for free, which, last I saw, was still there.
This movie totally changed my mind about Andre, I was just a kid and I kind of believed that he wasn't a nice guy, because he was a heel on WWF. But when I saw him in this movie, I realized that to play Fezzik the way that he did, with such warmth and humor, he had to be an amazing person. He really was at that. I was and still am a huge fan of his, because he was such a sweetheart of a guy, a giant, with a giant heart. Now I'm a short lady, 4'7" tall, but what I wouldn't give for just 1 hug from him.
This movie was the first I ever bought on VHS, and the first I ever bought on DVD. I don't have a blu-ray player but if I ever get one, I will buy The Princess Bride as my first blu-ray movie.
It's also the perfect example for a cover letter! 1: Polite Greeting. 2: Introduction. 3: Establish a connection with the recipient. 4: Explain your intentions.
I have a T-shirt I had made with a large "HELLO MY NAME IS" Red and White name tag. In the white space I wrote, "Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to pay for untold sessions of grief counseling over the next several years"
This is one of my all time favourite movies, and I've seen it at least twice a year since it came out. The college I went to from September 1988 until April 1992 showed it once every semester that I was there, and I managed to get my hands on a copy of the movie shortly after I graduated, first in VHS format and then later in DVD, then BluRay. To me, it's a perfect movie that has everything, and no one could ever convince me otherwise.
Awe man this was one of the few action (sword fighting etc.) movies I was allowed to watch as a kid. Needless to say I have watched it from beginning to end soooooo many times I was able to recount the entire movies lines off heart beginning to end. Probably a little rusty these days.. Definitely my most watched and all-time favorite movie for sure !!
Couldn’t tell you how many cause when I was homesick in the navy, I would put it on repeat in my barracks room so it was always on. I worked midnight shift so whenever I’d sleep during the day it was very comforting to wake up to different parts. Probably have seen it 1000+ times since childhood and could watch it at least once a day all through the week without getting tired of it.
One of the most charming, beautiful, wholesome films of all time that is absolute perfection in every way. To change anything…one line of script, one glance, one note of music (nod in homage to another movie masterpiece Amadeus) would take away from all that is extraordinary about The Princess Bride♥️🥹♥️. I’ve long lost count of how many times I’ve seen it and I could turn it on again any day, any time and I would be instantly engrossed. These characters and the lines they speak have become woven into our hearts and minds; part of the fabric of our culture. It’s a treasure for which I honor every single person who contributed to this work of artistic genius ♥️🥰♥️🥰♥️🥰♥️♥️🥰🥰. Thank you all xoxo
Absolutely! We feel the same way. Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
Thank you so much FactsVerse!! I feel honored for the ask and your reply♥️. I am an avid lover of all things related to movies and the stories behind the films that lend so much to my deep appreciation for every aspect of the process. The cinematography, music and score, the costumes and perspective. I could go on and on. I love the focus on the greats, the so called classics “Gone With the Wind”, the “Godfather” and another of my personal favorites “To Kill a Mockingbird” which is a work of art; but never to forget those films that are brilliant in their own right but may not fall under the traditional idea of a ‘classic’ such as Wes Anderson’s “Moonrise Kingdom” which is precious or the incredibly clever and brilliantly voiced “The Emperor’s New Groove”; or the forgotten genius of “Ragtime” a brilliant, tragic, magnificently acted and executed film. I think you’re doing a fine job but I will definitely post if I think of anything I’d love to see! Thank you so much for your content which is wonderful! And for reaching out☺️🫶🕊️.
This show is timeless. I watched it when it came out and then with my children and now just recently with my grandchildren. It absolutely never gets old. I'm a grown man and not afraid to admit that I've probably seen it over 30 times or more.
I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen this movie. Both my daughters love this movie and I can’t wait for grandkids so I can share it with them!!!
It was a movie which hit all the great entertainment categories: love, loss, laughter, danger, comically bad guys, pageantry, scenery, and good overcoming evil. But Peter Falk saying "as you wish" was a love-filled arrow right into the heart. It's one of very few movies I can watch again and again.
I've watched it a number of times and never got sick of it. I just stopped watching, but your video has reminded me of this great movie. I'm going to dig out one of my two DVDs and watch it again.
In 1987 The Princess Bride was released. All during the 90's I heard about it. Again in the 00's I heard about it. Finally around 2015 I said to myself "Ok...let's see what all the noise is about". I loved it and I love quoting lines from it.
I've seen the Princess Bride about four times, and originally on the first Saturday it was shown in the movie theater. I loved it and never thought something so well done, funny and romantic would be a hit because it was just too good.
My wife and I watched this on our honeymoon. We watched it several times since with our kids, neices, and grand kids. We still can't get enough of this film. She'll still wake me up or go to sleep with one word. Mawidge!
My cat has been on a prescription for a medication called Tylan Powder for several years now. It's fun to call in a refill and ask for "Iocane Powder" and get a laugh out of whoever answers the phone. Most of the employees there are half the age of the movie or younger, but they all still get it! They all love a movie made long before they were born.
Favorite family movie through childhood and adulthood! Most of my children know ALL the lines. Still watch it every year, but I have no idea how many times we’ve watched it! The BEST!!!
Everyone says Andre was such a kind and gentle person! It makes me happy knowing he was such an amazing person! There are so many fun, silly, and funny stories about him. Tho my favorite has to be the one Hulk Hogan talked about in an interview. An experience he had with Andre while on a plane traveling to the next WWE match. Apparently Andre scared all the passengers and attendants on the plane because he let out a massive fart. The fart apparently shook the plane slightly and made everyone think the big BOOM sound of his fart was one of the plain Engines exploding!😹 From what I remember of the interview Hulk had to apologize to everyone with Andre and they had to calm everyone down and tell them it’s ok Andre just farted that’s all! we aren’t going to die it’s fine! We are OK! 😹😹😹 if I could find and link the clip from that interview I would lol😹
The part where Wallace Shawn gives Danny DeVito props is very respectable and personally I think Mr. Shawn was the absolute perfect actor for the role. Respect
My children, who are now in their fifties, still quote the film when we watch it with the grandchildren for the gazillionth time. Princess Bride and A Fish Called Wanda are still my favorite comedy films after all these years.
I cant tell you how many times I've seen the Princess Bride. I'm old, almost 43, so every time it aired, it was on the TV. We had the VHS when I was a kid. I bought it when they released on DVD and again when the released it on Bluray. I own it on my Prime account so I can watch it on my phone or tab whenever I want to. I've made sure all four of my kids love the movie. And its sort of a subconscious relationship test, I could never be with any one, biblically, that didnt like this movie. Idk man, thats like asking me how many times I've seen Die Hard. I couldn't count it, so its infinite.
I couldnt count the amount of times i have watched this film and not sure that i should i kniw ive bort it at least 12 times as i think its a great gift as it just makes you feel good to watch it . I thought there wasnt any film like this for years till a friend of my mum lent her a film. Secndhand lions . If you love priness bride its a must watch
My whole family has seen The Princess Bride dozens & dozens of times because of 3 of our kids, all first cousins, who saw the movie & fell in love with the absurdity of it. They adopted The Princess Bride, Airplane, Clue, Blazing Saddles & several other movies. They would get together probably 2 or 3 times a week at their grandparents' home & watch those movies over & over again, eating snacks & shouting out the best lines in each movie. It was hilarious to watch them have fun together like that. To this day, I know most of the best lines from all those movies & can quote them in my sleep...
My late wife grew up in the '80s and this was one of her favorite movies. I had never seen it when we met but she talked me into watching it, which I agreed to because she frequently did joking references to the movie that I didn't "get". Although it's not really my kind of movie, I thought it was ok and certainly had its funny moments, but it will always hold a special place in my heart because of her. It became one of our many common experiences and source of inside jokes. One or both of us would often use lines from the movie in appropriate real life situations, such as "Inconceivable!", "I don't think that word means what you think it means", "Have fun storming the castle!", ""Think it will work?", "It would take a miracle. Bye bye!". Sigh. Now I have to go watch it again and think of her.
My cousin and I watched this film many times that we knew the words by heart. I would listen to the audio soundtrack and could visualize every scene from memory. I won a free drink once in a bar when I answered the trivia question: Who composed the music for The Princess Bride? My cousin wrote to William Goldman and asked him if there would be a sequel. Mr. Goldman said there was a problem with getting "Buttercup's Baby" off the ground. I don't remember why, but he did say it would most likely not happen. He said to look at The Princess Bride characters like REAL people where good endings are only for the moment. I won't repeat what he said about the most likely future of the characters. To be honest, it was like he had given up on life and wanted to pass his sorrow downstream.
Absolutely my FAVORITE movie of all time!!! I have watched it so many times I have it memorized :) I love that is is a family movie proving that you can have clean and quality entertainment.
The Princess Bride is one of those movies that broke new ground. Its story, anachronistic humor, and fresh cast is a strike of lightning in cinema. It's hard to appreciate it today as when it was new, like Star Wars: A New Hope. I feel very fortunate to have been an adult when it came out, and able to appreciate how brilliant and unique it is.
My wife and I went to see it projected at Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis, and the soundtrack was played by the Minnesota Orchestra. It was truly, truly an INCONCEIVABLE and incredible performance!
I couldn't even tell you how many times I have watched this movie. I never gets old, and it never will get old in my mind. This movie is 100X better than 99% of entertainment even today.
I am another one who has lost count of the number of times and have multiple copies. My favourite all time film which I always take the opportunity to introduce to the uninitiated. Perfection!
I've watched it innumerable times (inconceivable!), and I never pass up an opportunity to watch it again. It's easily in my Top Five of Greatest Movies.
Did the narrator even watch the movie?! Mispronouncing Inigo Montoya…after literally having the most famous line play on the video and STILL not correcting yourself. :/
I have watched it many times over the years. My friend and I thought it was hilarious and also watched it again on DVD with another friend. That tells how long ago it was when we saw first watched it. Great film :)
My kids and I have watched this movie countless times. It's been a few years though, so I'll have to get it out again (we own a copy on DVD) now bc I love it! Best story though... I was getting new tires at a tire shop when the cashier casually threw out an off the cuff remark that reminded my kids with me (and me as well) of the movie. One of my kids said something to him about it and he chirped back at them (10 yrs old and younger) that he LOVED that movie and we all started riffing on various lines from the movie. Great fun! Eventually, the guy had to get back to work though. But my kids were much happier and easier to manage the rest of the time we were waiting there. ❤ Years later we drove past the store and one of my kids was like "Hey! Isn't that where that Princess Bride guy works?" 😂

@@FactsVerse Have you done a video on Dirty Rotten Scoundrels with Michael Caine and Steve Martin? It is one of our family's favorites!
It’s in my top 10 movies list too. I enjoy it so much every time I see it - I’ve lost count - and I still spot new details I didn’t notice before.
Another of my top 10 movies is Galaxy Quest. Interesting that both of these favorites are funny in the best way.
“I’m not a witch; I’m your wife!”
the line I quote most often LOL
It's actually "I'm not a *winch* I'm your wife!" - referring to the winch he was frantically reaching for 😊
My partner & I inadvertently traumatized a Taco Bell cashier with the full line of, "I'm not a witch, I'm your wife, and after what I just heard I'm not sure I want to be THAT anymore!" Apparently the poor girl hadn't seen the movie and thought she was seeing a divorce brewing before her very eyes. Took a bit of time for us to explain it to her.
I thought it was "wench".
@@RavenMobile No, it's witch. "Wench" means "young woman." He's definitely not calling her that.
I lost count the times I've watched this movie a long time ago. To this day I still wave and say "Have Fun Storming the Castle". For some reason I still get a tear when Mandy says his famous line, as I just rubbed one after watching this. I also hate when the movie ends. Why can't life be so simple and pure? Inconceivable (not used correctly)
I have no idea how many times I've seen the movie, but it must be at least 20 times for the full movie. The movie is entertainment "comfort food". Like a warm blanket and a cup of hot cocoa while sitting by the fireplace on a cool evening. A timeless story with fantasy, love, action, humor, redemption, mystery, suspense. Reiner did a great job directing. It's clear the actors loved their characters and poured their heart and soul into their performances. The cinematography is gorgeous. The editing could be a master-class, with the pacing being near perfect. Wrap it all up in the beautiful soundtrack by Mark Knopfler. What's not to love about the movie?

loved it as a child, now my child loves it. let's see how many generations we can keep this going!
I watched it three times when it was first released in movie theaters. In nearly empty theaters. I tried to get my family to go see it, but they wouldn't. I rented it once it was out on VHS and introduced it to my family. I have watched it countless times and everyone I have introduced it to loved it, but especially initially there was a lot of resistance to watching it. So wonderful.
But where is the un-edited BLOOPER???
Apparently it's in the title of this video.
@@michaelhoward142 -- 😅😅😅
I think it must have been the part about Cary Elwes' broken toe bit. But the title is quite misleading.
Love the movie, but gave the video a thumb down.
@@curlytigga7583 As is every title on RUclips.
The vhs tape died after my two kids watched it every saturday morning for two years. My two grandchildren watch it on dvd every time they come over to stay.
I've seen this movie at least 30 times. I loved it when it first came out, and love it even more when I watch it with my daughter. She's almost 16 now, and loves it as much as I do.
I ran out of fingers counting, so it must have been more than 11. 😂
I tell children I have 11 fingers. I demonstrate by counting down from 10...
10, 9, 8, 7, 6... Then show the other hand. "Plus 5 is 11!"
it was more than 11, and i mean it !

I read the book in college before the movie was produced. As I was leaving campus, I had a fellow classmate sign my copy (with red text sections). It remains one book and movie where I love both equally. That is very rare.
That’s how I feel about To Kill a Mockingbird.
“Mawwiage. Mawwiage is what bwings us togethew today."
Anyone else out there that doesn’t think of this scene when they’re at a wedding?
That, and Space Balls... my two favorite wedding scenes! 😂
I popped that line at the wedding rehearsal of a friend. I heard the bride roaring with laughter from her hidden vantage in the 2nd story sound booth. Even the preacher was laughing. The groom said, I knew one of you was going to say it, I should have known It'd be YOU."
@@jimroberts2647 did you add, “Wuv too wuv will fowwow you forwever so tweasure your wuv.”
Twooooo Wuv
I'm awful. I've learned to pinch myself really hard if I must.not.laugh.
I have seen it hundreds of times. My youth group would treat it like 'Rocky Horror' and each would choose a scene to preform. I got to do the fight scene dialogue. 😂😂
Reminds me of how, during the pandemic, a large group of celebrities collaborated, where various people recreated a scene at home, for charity. There were a lot of annoying rich-people shenanigans going on, but that was not one of them--it was quite endearing. The person who had the idea put the whole thing on RUclips for free, which, last I saw, was still there.
Sadly I cannot tell you how many times I've watched it because I lost count a long time ago.
This movie totally changed my mind about Andre, I was just a kid and I kind of believed that he wasn't a nice guy, because he was a heel on WWF. But when I saw him in this movie, I realized that to play Fezzik the way that he did, with such warmth and humor, he had to be an amazing person. He really was at that. I was and still am a huge fan of his, because he was such a sweetheart of a guy, a giant, with a giant heart. Now I'm a short lady, 4'7" tall, but what I wouldn't give for just 1 hug from him.

YES! 😄

LOL!!
I thought it was an episode of The Wonder Years... mediaeval version.

I think it's supposed to be the hat, near the beginning. 🤷♀️

“Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya.
You killed my father. Prepare to die!”🗡️🤺⚔️
I love this Quote!!!
I had a friend who did glass etching, and she put this on a drinking glass for me. 🥰
It's also the perfect example for a cover letter!
1: Polite Greeting.
2: Introduction.
3: Establish a connection with the recipient.
4: Explain your intentions.
I have a T-shirt I had made with a large "HELLO MY NAME IS" Red and White name tag. In the white space I wrote, "Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to pay for untold sessions of grief counseling over the next several years"
"Stop, saying that!"
This is one of my all time favourite movies, and I've seen it at least twice a year since it came out. The college I went to from September 1988 until April 1992 showed it once every semester that I was there, and I managed to get my hands on a copy of the movie shortly after I graduated, first in VHS format and then later in DVD, then BluRay. To me, it's a perfect movie that has everything, and no one could ever convince me otherwise.
Awe man this was one of the few action (sword fighting etc.) movies I was allowed to watch as a kid. Needless to say I have watched it from beginning to end soooooo many times I was able to recount the entire movies lines off heart beginning to end. Probably a little rusty these days.. Definitely my most watched and all-time favorite movie for sure !!

Couldn’t tell you how many cause when I was homesick in the navy, I would put it on repeat in my barracks room so it was always on. I worked midnight shift so whenever I’d sleep during the day it was very comforting to wake up to different parts. Probably have seen it 1000+ times since childhood and could watch it at least once a day all through the week without getting tired of it.
One of the most charming, beautiful, wholesome films of all time that is absolute perfection in every way. To change anything…one line of script, one glance, one note of music (nod in homage to another movie masterpiece Amadeus) would take away from all that is extraordinary about The Princess Bride♥️🥹♥️. I’ve long lost count of how many times I’ve seen it and I could turn it on again any day, any time and I would be instantly engrossed. These characters and the lines they speak have become woven into our hearts and minds; part of the fabric of our culture. It’s a treasure for which I honor every single person who contributed to this work of artistic genius ♥️🥰♥️🥰♥️🥰♥️♥️🥰🥰. Thank you all xoxo

Thank you so much FactsVerse!! I feel honored for the ask and your reply♥️. I am an avid lover of all things related to movies and the stories behind the films that lend so much to my deep appreciation for every aspect of the process. The cinematography, music and score, the costumes and perspective. I could go on and on. I love the focus on the greats, the so called classics “Gone With the Wind”, the “Godfather” and another of my personal favorites “To Kill a Mockingbird” which is a work of art; but never to forget those films that are brilliant in their own right but may not fall under the traditional idea of a ‘classic’ such as Wes Anderson’s “Moonrise Kingdom” which is precious or the incredibly clever and brilliantly voiced “The Emperor’s New Groove”; or the forgotten genius of “Ragtime” a brilliant, tragic, magnificently acted and executed film. I think you’re doing a fine job but I will definitely post if I think of anything I’d love to see! Thank you so much for your content which is wonderful! And for reaching out☺️🫶🕊️.

I will give you the most honest answer to how many times I have seen this wonderful movie....... NOT ENOUGH TIMES!
This show is timeless. I watched it when it came out and then with my children and now just recently with my grandchildren. It absolutely never gets old. I'm a grown man and not afraid to admit that I've probably seen it over 30 times or more.
I have watched Princess Bride probably 50+ times. Great film to watch when I am travelling and tired. A good “feel-good” movie
I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen this movie. Both my daughters love this movie and I can’t wait for grandkids so I can share it with them!!!
It was a movie which hit all the great entertainment categories: love, loss, laughter, danger, comically bad guys, pageantry, scenery, and good overcoming evil. But Peter Falk saying "as you wish" was a love-filled arrow right into the heart. It's one of very few movies I can watch again and again.

I’ve watched this movie so many times, they are countless. I watch it whenever I need an uplift or another point of view. Thank you!
I've watched it a number of times and never got sick of it. I just stopped watching, but your video has reminded me of this great movie. I'm going to dig out one of my two DVDs and watch it again.
I have no idea how many times I have watched it. at least a dozen. Absolutely love it
The Princess Bride is the best film adaption of a book ever made. Change my mind.
In 1987 The Princess Bride was released. All during the 90's I heard about it. Again in the 00's I heard about it. Finally around 2015 I said to myself "Ok...let's see what all the noise is about". I loved it and I love quoting lines from it.
I've seen the Princess Bride about four times, and originally on the first Saturday it was shown in the movie theater. I loved it and never thought something so well done, funny and romantic would be a hit because it was just too good.
We're happy to know that you're a fan of Princess Bride! What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
My wife and I watched this on our honeymoon. We watched it several times since with our kids, neices, and grand kids. We still can't get enough of this film. She'll still wake me up or go to sleep with one word. Mawidge!
Inconceivable that anyone else could have played the part better than Wallace Shawn!!!
My teenage daughter and best friend watched this continually when it came out on video. Every night and sometimes twice on the weekends.
My cat has been on a prescription for a medication called Tylan Powder for several years now. It's fun to call in a refill and ask for "Iocane Powder" and get a laugh out of whoever answers the phone. Most of the employees there are half the age of the movie or younger, but they all still get it! They all love a movie made long before they were born.
The Princess Bride is my absolute favorite movie ever. I’ve watched it at least 20 times and will never tire of it!
Glad to know that you're a fan of Princess Bride. Who was your favorite cast member?

Favorite family movie through childhood and adulthood! Most of my children know ALL the lines. Still watch it every year, but I have no idea how many times we’ve watched it! The BEST!!!
Everyone says Andre was such a kind and gentle person! It makes me happy knowing he was such an amazing person! There are so many fun, silly, and funny stories about him. Tho my favorite has to be the one Hulk Hogan talked about in an interview. An experience he had with Andre while on a plane traveling to the next WWE match. Apparently Andre scared all the passengers and attendants on the plane because he let out a massive fart. The fart apparently shook the plane slightly and made everyone think the big BOOM sound of his fart was one of the plain Engines exploding!😹 From what I remember of the interview Hulk had to apologize to everyone with Andre and they had to calm everyone down and tell them it’s ok Andre just farted that’s all! we aren’t going to die it’s fine! We are OK! 😹😹😹 if I could find and link the clip from that interview I would lol😹
I love all the actors and actresses, RIP Great Giant Andre R , One of the Best movies ever.
"Hear this now, I will always come for you", gets me every time.

I’m surprised some idiot hasn’t tried and failed at a crappy remake. This movie is perfection
I think that's WHY no one has made a Crappy re-make......
Everyone KNOWS this movie was Perfection and You Don't Mess with Perfection.
Sh!
I heard a rumor they were going to remake and I was appalled. It is indeed just perfect.
The part where Wallace Shawn gives Danny DeVito props is very respectable and personally I think Mr. Shawn was the absolute perfect actor for the role. Respect
My children, who are now in their fifties, still quote the film when we watch it with the grandchildren for the gazillionth time. Princess Bride and A Fish Called Wanda are still my favorite comedy films after all these years.
This is just a rundown of the cast and where they were at when the film was made. Nothing to do with unedited scenes or bloopers
I cant tell you how many times I've seen the Princess Bride. I'm old, almost 43, so every time it aired, it was on the TV. We had the VHS when I was a kid. I bought it when they released on DVD and again when the released it on Bluray. I own it on my Prime account so I can watch it on my phone or tab whenever I want to. I've made sure all four of my kids love the movie. And its sort of a subconscious relationship test, I could never be with any one, biblically, that didnt like this movie. Idk man, thats like asking me how many times I've seen Die Hard. I couldn't count it, so its infinite.
I couldnt count the amount of times i have watched this film and not sure that i should i kniw ive bort it at least 12 times as i think its a great gift as it just makes you feel good to watch it . I thought there wasnt any film like this for years till a friend of my mum lent her a film. Secndhand lions . If you love priness bride its a must watch
I want to hear that speech. And read that comic strip.
One of my favourite movies I could watch again and again and it never gets old. ❤️. Inconceivable!
They don't make movies like this anymore
Sad but true. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
They never have. This is one of a kind!
You only say that because it’s never happened before
Definitely at the top of my favorites of all time list and I never tire of watching it.
Inconceivable!
My whole family has seen The Princess Bride dozens & dozens of times because of 3 of our kids, all first cousins, who saw the movie & fell in love with the absurdity of it. They adopted The Princess Bride, Airplane, Clue, Blazing Saddles & several other movies. They would get together probably 2 or 3 times a week at their grandparents' home & watch those movies over & over again, eating snacks & shouting out the best lines in each movie. It was hilarious to watch them have fun together like that. To this day, I know most of the best lines from all those movies & can quote them in my sleep...
Spoiler alert; there's no blooper.
My late wife grew up in the '80s and this was one of her favorite movies. I had never seen it when we met but she talked me into watching it, which I agreed to because she frequently did joking references to the movie that I didn't "get". Although it's not really my kind of movie, I thought it was ok and certainly had its funny moments, but it will always hold a special place in my heart because of her. It became one of our many common experiences and source of inside jokes. One or both of us would often use lines from the movie in appropriate real life situations, such as "Inconceivable!", "I don't think that word means what you think it means", "Have fun storming the castle!", ""Think it will work?", "It would take a miracle. Bye bye!".
Sigh. Now I have to go watch it again and think of her.
What blooper? Halfway through this and no bloopers.
My cousin and I watched this film many times that we knew the words by heart. I would listen to the audio soundtrack and could visualize every scene from memory. I won a free drink once in a bar when I answered the trivia question: Who composed the music for The Princess Bride? My cousin wrote to William Goldman and asked him if there would be a sequel. Mr. Goldman said there was a problem with getting "Buttercup's Baby" off the ground. I don't remember why, but he did say it would most likely not happen. He said to look at The Princess Bride characters like REAL people where good endings are only for the moment. I won't repeat what he said about the most likely future of the characters. To be honest, it was like he had given up on life and wanted to pass his sorrow downstream.
There is no blooper........
the video author KNEW we could not downvote a video about the Princess Bride, it was all his masterful plan
Absolutely my FAVORITE movie of all time!!! I have watched it so many times I have it memorized :) I love that is is a family movie proving that you can have clean and quality entertainment.
Where is this “blooper“? I do not think that word means what you think it means. 🤦🏻♂️
The Princess Bride is one of those movies that broke new ground. Its story, anachronistic humor, and fresh cast is a strike of lightning in cinema. It's hard to appreciate it today as when it was new, like Star Wars: A New Hope. I feel very fortunate to have been an adult when it came out, and able to appreciate how brilliant and unique it is.
Where's the blooper?
My wife and I went to see it projected at Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis, and the soundtrack was played by the Minnesota Orchestra. It was truly, truly an INCONCEIVABLE and incredible performance!

One of the most quotable films of all time. There are too many great line to count. Inconceivable!

I am another one who has lost count of the number of times and have multiple copies. My favourite all time film which I always take the opportunity to introduce to the uninitiated. Perfection!

I love the movie, even if it was directed by Meathead.
Great movie. Timeless. I wonder if the actors and the producer had any idea what a GEM of a film this would be- for generations.
Did the narrator even watch the movie?! Mispronouncing Inigo Montoya…after literally having the most famous line play on the video and STILL not correcting yourself. :/
I have watched it many times over the years. My friend and I thought it was hilarious and also watched it again on DVD with another friend. That tells how long ago it was when we saw first watched it. Great film :)

My kids and I have watched this movie countless times. It's been a few years though, so I'll have to get it out again (we own a copy on DVD) now bc I love it!
Best story though... I was getting new tires at a tire shop when the cashier casually threw out an off the cuff remark that reminded my kids with me (and me as well) of the movie. One of my kids said something to him about it and he chirped back at them (10 yrs old and younger) that he LOVED that movie and we all started riffing on various lines from the movie. Great fun! Eventually, the guy had to get back to work though. But my kids were much happier and easier to manage the rest of the time we were waiting there. ❤
Years later we drove past the store and one of my kids was like "Hey! Isn't that where that Princess Bride guy works?" 😂
