A nice fact about Inigo Montoya: The actor that played him, Mandy Patinkin, had just lost his father to cancer when he took this role. He has an amazing anecdote about the final fight being absolutely cathartic for him. He'd said, "I want my father back you son-of-a-bitch," was a line he felt he was saying to Cancer itself.
Scared the crap out of the guy playing the six finger man
@@ameyer1970 "The guy"? "THE GUY"?!?! That's Christopher Guest, you uncultured swine!!!! (Just kidding, lol... But seriously, Guest is amazing!).
What a powerful statement for such a powerful reason.
@@ameyer1970 that's Nigel Tufnel from Spinal tap hahaha
@@justaguy2365 She needs to react to Spinal Tap
Fun Fact: on the set of this movie, André the Giant once “let out a 16-second fart and brought production to a standstill.” Nobody said anything except director Rob Reiner, who said “Are you ok, André?” To which André replied, “I am now, boss.”
Andre was a legend. Rest in peace my big man.
Who timed it. That sounds made up lol
The first time I read this, my brain left out the comma in Andre's response... And I think it's much funnier that way 😂
From what I heard, he couldn’t speak English, so this was all learned phonetically,
@@Hey_Jamie Cary Elwes writes about it in his book about his experience filming the movie.
Andre the Giant was a 7'5" French professional wrestler who died far too young. He was incredible.
My favorite was the smile on the Princess' face when she drops into Andre's arms at the end of the movie. You know that he was a really nice guy to receive a smile like that.
And he had back problems, so all the climbing, fighting, and carrying was super hard on him.
@@trinkab I was just about to say the same thing, before reading your post.
Just stop with the height nonsense he was never 7 foot 5. More like 7 foot Exact .
The picture of him and Wilt Chamberlain put that ol fable to bed.
@@justinmorton7201 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/André_the_Giant. According to this, he was 7'4", so we're both wrong. I do know, however, that while he was a wrestler, he was billed as 7"5." Whether that's wrestling inflation or not, officially he was 7'4."
Peter Falks "As you wish" at the end always gets me
Watch the Home Movie version on RUclips. Not only is it absolutely hilarious, but in the end it's director Rob Reiner in the bed as the kid, and his dad, Carl Reiner as the Grandfather. It was filmed 3 days before Carl Reiner passed away. Can't watch it without tears.
"He is so hawt"
Now you are obligated to watch Mel Brooks' "Robin Hood: Men in Tights".
I just came here to say that “men in tights is another must see”
And The Crush.
Yes yes yes
And Saw
Hot Shots.
I dated a girl once who didn't find the dry humor in this movie funny. We didn't last...
@Amy Sternheim It broke my heart.
He (or she) who doesn't enjoy this movie, has no reason to live.
Her loss. This movie is Awesome!
I wont date anyone seriously who doesnt like it.
I used to take first dates to the Rocky Horror Picture Show. The rest just sorted itself out.
I eventually married a woman who didn't get Monty Python. I don't know what the hell I was thinking.
My review when i saw it in theatre, my review was "Take a child to see this fairy story; if you do not own a child, rent one."
Just like that line from _Zero Effect._
"This your kid?" "Nope. Just a rental."
Or from Sonic the Hedgehog: Yeah it's a child, just not mine
The mask reference is actually a joke referencing Andre the Giant, seeing how Andre was a wrestler and they sometime wear masks. An old wrestling match with Andre the Giant and his opponent, the opponent was wearing a mask and Andre ripped it off to reveal it was some famous wrestler fighting incognito. As a wrestling fan, Rob Reiner wrote that joke in to see if anyone would catch it
After falling in love with this movie, think that they are wanting to reboot this. Anyone who has fallen for this movie doesn't want ANYONE to touch this story.
Doesn't matter to me. It's not like it's going to jump off the shelf and disappear from my collection if they do. I'll just get to laugh and say, "Nope. Not even close." when it comes out.
While i don't want it to be remade, I'd love to see Indigo and Phesic played by Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (The Mountain) and Pedro Pascal (The Viper) as the characters as I think they would both be great together with a little throwback to Game of Thrones. and you could cast Peter Dinklage as Vecini cause he's great too.
@@ghosturiel “Inigo” Montoya
I don't see the harm. Its not like a new movie will make all the copies of the original vanish. If the remake is good, its good. If its not, ignore it and just watch the original.
I love this book. It's better than the movie.
The pure joy on somebody's face the first time they hear "Mawwiage!" It never gets old.
Whenever I introduce a friend to this movie, this is one scene I especially look forward to. The reactions are always gold. :D
Peter Cook has performed so much better, but is remembered, in America, for a speech defect!
How very provincial! 🤣
I had fun saying that at my sister's wedding...
@@jamespasifull3424 vewy pwovincial..... how twue!
The Impressive Clergyman!!!
This is one of those films I think should be watched day one of film school. "Aim for this in your careers. Chances are slim any of you will achieve it, but it should always be your goal."
"Have fun storming the castle" is my FAVORATE movie line . And I intend .
That is Billy Crystal whom Ashleigh should remember from her review of
"When Harry Met Sally".
My cousin got married this past winter and she had a sign outside that said “marwage is what brings us together today”
That is adorkable; your cousin sounds awesome, and congrats!
My best friend had their pastor start the ceremony with that line 😂
The actor who played Wesley, Cary Elwes, is in another comedy movie. Robin Hood: Men In Tights. Check it out.
Literally anything directed by Mel Brooks is amazing.
It also has Samuel L Jackson, Prince, and Rick James, bitch
And Cary Elwes can do a British accent.
He's also the bad guy in Ella Enchanted
also in the saw films
On my wedding day, after my wife and I partook of communion, we were standing on the stage, hand in hand, waiting for the ushers to collect all the communion cups from the people in attendance. At that moment, I looked deep into my wife's eyes and said: "Mawwige! Mawwige is what bwings us together today!"
I love The Princess Bride!
😂🤣
If she didn't give you the biggest grin at that, then she isn't the one for you.
@@purpleguy319 OH I got more than just a 😀!
We opened our wedding with the "Mawwage" bit. Half the audience got it, and broke up laughing. Half looked stumped. :)
I'd love that for my wedding😂
Wish I'd been there!! 😂😂😂
The other half was lame 😂
I don't know anyone that doesn't like The Princess Bride. I have to say though, if you ever meet someone who doesn't like The Princess Bride... Do not trust them! They ain't human.
someone who doesn't like The Princess Bride? INCONCEIVABLE!
and never EVER and I cannot say this enough EVER get involved in a land war in Asia
@@PaulinaPaulino i don't think you know what that word means.
That would be my brother and sister... they dont like "old movies" as they call them smh
Paulina Paulino Inigo Montoya: you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. 😆
FYI. My girlfriend actually broke up with a guy once because he didn't like this movie. It is the perfect movie. Also, Cary Elwes is so talented. I see you've seen some Mel Brooks films. Cary is the star of "Robin Hood: Men in Tights". You may want to add that one to your list.
Your girlfriend made the right choice.
Not to mention the doctor character of the saw franchise lols. Not quite as pretty in those however.
That's inconceivable
That's actually a pretty shitty reason to break up with someone.
@@d-repaslp. You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means....
"Willow" has to be watched. It is an underappreciated classic fantasy with a young Val Kilmer (and others) would also recommend "Legend" a fantasy with Unicorns, a demon and other assorted fantasy figures starring Tom Cruise, Tim Curry and Mia Sara.
You have to watch the director's cut with the John Williams track.
Willow is so great! He went thataway...
@@craftyladybug411 Disney+ are filming tv series sequel to willow
@@JasonBorn89 yeah!
Both excellent recommendations! Tim Curry as "The Devil" on Legend was and continues to be the best depiction of Satan in my opinion.
I recommend Cary Elwes' book (which I listened to, with his narration): As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales From the Making of The Princess Bride.
It's a great book and I loved it but she said repeatedly SHE DOESN'T READ!
@@shangc2781 hence the reference to the audiobook.
There's a reason this 33 year old film still works so well. Actually, several:
1) The story is simple, but classical. Also, relatable.
2) The characters are straight-forward, and cheesy, but in a good way
3) The hero actually "dies" in the film (that never happens)!
4) So much of the humor is so inherently stereotypical of certain groups of people... but never in a "bad" way. They're actually healthy stereotypes, that aren't designed to insult or demean those groups. But actually to enhance the characters.
5) The secondary characters are every bit as important as the romantic leads (Inigo Montoya is secretly the best thing about this flick).
6) I can't watch Andre, The Giant in this film without shedding tears, because he died WAY BEFORE HIS TIME!!
I think a big deal, and I think Lindsey Ellis has mentioned it in her vids, is.. movies that aren't afraid to be sincere. for example MCU marvel movies, any time something emotional or sincere happens, it QUICKLY gets undercut with a cynical joke or an explosion, because there's this hollywood trend that just being sincerely dramatic or emotional, is "lame". Guardians of the Galaxy is an example of an otherwise good movie where the writers were like "oh no! the character said something honest! now have them roll their eyes so the audience doesn't!" I think people are in the mood again for movies like Princess Bride that dare to be sincere without cynically undercutting itself constantly.
@Elwood Blues Morris I love this point you two make, it feels like there aren't even any secondary characters! The old King despite having maybe 1 line? He felt important, hell even the lady yelling booo boo, as a kid I never forgot her lol. xD
"4)" preferably played by people of that ethnicity......
Does anyone realize that both the movie and the book are satire making fun of fairy tales while still being the best fairy tale ever told?
The author who wrote the book wrote Fessic specifically for Andre for he was a big fan.
One of the best movies ever made and has it all: adventure, humor, romance - and the ending where the little boy asks his grandfather to come back the next day and read it again. “As you wish.” Beautiful.
Yeah, the movie is damn near perfect!
Tragically, there is a push inside Hollywood to do a remake of it! (and if THAT monstrosity happens, you just KNOW they are going to throw THIS version "down the memory hole"!
Make sure you have a physical copy a.s.a.p. everyone!
@@sharkdentures3247 Downloaded it off of iTunes five years ago. Because "priorities."
Got it on DVD yeah I'm old 😆
@@skillsaw181 I remember when owning something on VHS meant you were really old. Yes - I have The Princess Bride on DVD. I still have some VHS tapes floating around my house somewhere, too. Yes, I'm old.
It is absolutely my favorite movie of all time
This was one of my dad’s favourite movies ever. He passed away from cancer almost 6 years ago, and I hadn’t been able to watch it since he died. Part of the reason for that is Inigo’s line “I want my father back”, because Mandy Patinkin’s father also died of cancer, and when he took this role, he said that line to the cancer that took his own father. That makes it even more poignant for me as a viewer who has also lost a father.
Have to say, seeing how increasingly convoluted your cat's sleeping position become throughout the video is one of the best things about it. Also, I had that baseball game on my Commodore 64, and what we saw was literally all I could get the thing to do. No amount of control manipulation made any difference to the outcome, each ball went off the right and out of bounds. Drove me crazy.
Ashleigh: Is he dead dead?
Me: Foreshadowing.... now don't get ahead of yourself there, he's only mostly dead
And the King didn't die, remember that was just a dream
there's only one thing you can do when he's dead dead...What's that? go through his pockets and look for lose change :D
Oh, my goodness! All these years and I hadn't caught that he only died in the dream!
"Willow" is an amazing and underrated movie.
With a young Val Kilmer kicking ass
@@SuprousOxide "😯you are great!"
😁😁I showed it to me daughter a few weeks ago and she liked it just fine but I fell back in love with it. Been trying to get someone to react to it ever since.
Willow would be great to watch, love that movie.
Yes Willow
oh yes !
You should watch “labyrinth” with David Bowie and Jennifer Connely.
Yes.. please
David will be another one on her "He can get it" list . . .
The line "I want my father back you son of a bitch" was a powerful one. Mandy channeled his anger towards the cancer that took his father when delivering this line. :(
Did you notice when he said that line, he didn't use the Spanish accent?
"Rodents of unusual size? I don't think they exist."
One of the great lines ever delivered on screen I swear. 😂
The thing that makes it so brilliant is the TIMING!!!
The delivery of all the Man in Black's lines is masterfully somehow as honest and earnest as his devotion to his Love, and somehow still casually sardonic at the same time: "I'm not saying I'd like to build a summer home here, but the TREES are actually quite lovely! "
This movie should never be remade, as it couldn't possibly be done better by anyone else and could only end up a disappointment by comparison. Elwes never even looked better HIMSELF than he does while handing her that pitcher with a swatch of hair hanging in his face....

@@nicolebetzz5084 Yup. The folks I've married have been fans of the movie, and at the first wedding, about 30% of the guests were all fairly high-end fencers. The second was done in ren faire garb, so it fit perfectly.
@@okami36 SCA?
@@xalahuj Not as much as I would like to, but yes, I've been to a fair number of SCA events, and have a lot of friends who are more heavily involved.

And Prince Humperdinck is played by Susan Sarandon’s ex-husband, Chris Sarandon.

11 fingers... that's a Spinal Tap reference.
@@Madbandit77 - No: the character has 11 fingers in the book. Inigo's sword is the one his father made for the bastard.
The box art for the 20th anniversary edition was insane ... It was done in a way that "princess bride" was able to be read right-side up and upside down because of the way they wrote it out in cursive or calligraphy... it's nuts
Andre' the Giant said this was one of the best things he was ever a part of. It was something that brought him a lot of joy.
Imagine being the catering team trying to feed Andre on-set. I'm a big guy (by normal standards) and Andre could eat more in a day than I could in a week.

Now you know why so many fans of this movie lose their minds whenever there is talk of rebooting this PERFECT movie. Leave it alone! The Goonies and Back to the Future also fall into this category.
@Elwood Blues Morris there is no way you can replace carey elwes (who's a national treasure) and robin wright. don't even think of doing a reboot or anything to this perfect movie.
To paraphrase Wesley, "there is a shortage of perfect _movies_ in this world; it'd be a pity to damage this one"

@@ephennell4ever Same!
I've been loving this film since I saw it in theatres in 87. Warms my heart to see it is timeless
This is my number 1 favorite movie. Nothing has really come close to knocking it off my movie pedestal. It's a classic, funny, quotable, rewatchable, medieval fantasy fairytale with a great cast :)

2 Recommended movies -
1 is a Cult classic :
Big Trouble in Little China
and the second is more obscure but if you mentioned it those who seen love it:

I remember watching Ice Pirates thinking it was supposed to be a serious sci-fi film and grew more and more confused as it went on.
Yeah, Ice Pirates
A rare thing: an absolutely 100% perfect film.
Absolutely perfect
“Who is this guy?” Andre The Giant. Loved that dude. Very cool guy. Died way too young.
Amazing to watch as a wrestler when I was a kid! You’d see André pop in and knew it was all over!
ruclips.net/video/DfJ1nWracLE/видео.html great stories from jake the snake roberts
As someone who lived in the era of Andre the giant, Yes, he could pick up just about anyone, and pretty much did. When he threw Hulk Hogan, Hulk was not in good shape afterwards. And that was just when he was supposed to be play-acting a wrestling match.
@@chrismaverick9828 Once, one of Andre's friends tried to pay his restaurant bill while Andre was in the bathroom (Andre did not like his friends paying any of his bills because he ate and drank A LOT due to his size). Just when he was about to grab the check, Andre came swooping out, picked up his buddy, and plopped him back in his chair. Andre looked his friend in the face and said, "I Pay." The friend's name was Arnold Schwarzenegger (he told this story on Reddit)!
There’s a good biopic about Andre, I forget what it’s called but he would easily go through a case of wine a day or more.
My favorite repeated line is "I don't think that word means what you think it means" to this day has to be the most quoted line from the movie second only to "Inconceivable"
I've always loved this movie, and I always will. It's so simple, but it does everything so we'll. Not to mention it had the ideal cast. I don't think this could possibly be done again even half as good. Andre, though, was easily the best. And the best comedic line in the whole movie between him and Billy Crystal (Miracle Max) gets me laughing every single time.
Max: Beat it! Or I'll call the Brute Squad!
Fezzik: I'm on the Brute Squad.
Max, looking up at him, surprised: You *are* the Brute Squad!
And the crowd was right to clear a path for him. You hear someone yell "Everybody *MOVE!"* and they're that big, you give the man some room!
One of the world's few perfect movies.
Literally has it all. They just did a 40th anniversary script reading, with all the cast members that are still alive.
When did they do that? Is it on film somewhere?
Didn’t Andre die a while ago?
I think in 1989
When the media reported on a rumor that Hollywood was considering remaking this movie, Cary Elwes tweeted out, "There's a shortage of perfect movies in the world. It'd be a pity to damage this one."
@@LoneSilverW0lf it was in early 1993 only six years after the movie came out
A Knight's Tale. If you die without seeing this, you'll be sent back for a refresher. It's a classic, and about the same genre. Medieval, comedy, romance, action. If you don't like this, your money back!
and, its fun!
I'm depressed people are calling movies I grew up on classic. I have become old lol.
didn't care for the movie itself, but it is interesting to see so many great actors early in their careers.
Plus Heath Ledger ❤️
@@adamsgrad93 ???
I was 16 when this came out and it remains my favorite movie to this day. When we got married, my wife and I had matching license plate frames that said “As you wish,” and we got lots of people over the years who knew the line from Princess Bride! 😊
"That thing, in the Fire Swamp, the third thing." You mean rodents of unusual size? I don't think they really exist.
This movie is such a classic. I was at work one day, at my desk, when my supervisor walked by behind me with a new employee. They paused and he was explaining the layout of the office. I stopped my work and said to him, "but did you tell her about the ROUS'? (rodents of unusual size) He didn't miss a beat and replied. "I don't think they exist." He blew me away. lol
Whenever we went to break at one job we would always say "have fun storming the castle"
“Mawaige is wot bwings us twogetha twoday” Most iconic line in cinema.
Do you have the wing??🤣
"Who Is This Guy?" Andre The Giant! The 8th Wonder of The World!
This movie fits into so many categories
"Don't let it be a book. Because I promise you I'm not going to read it"
Saddest thing I've heard all day 😭
kinda pathetic honestly.
In this case.... yea. Don't read the book version. From what I understand, it ends much darker.
@@eviljbrian oh yes so much darker there is a reason why the grandfather does not tell him the real ending.
I nearly never watched the rest after that! Reading is life!
Agreed
I once baby sat my niece and nephew.
Told my nephew ( 10 years ago)...I got a movie with ...
Magic ! Kung fu ! Big Trucks ! Monsters!! Sword play! Dungeons ! and DEMONS!!!
"theres no movie like that " was my nephews deadpan reaction
BOOM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Big Trouble in Little China !!!!!!!!!!!
We all had a blast and watched it twice...their ages 9 and 7.
It will come out no more
"WHAT chan WHAT WILL COME OUT NO MORE " LOL
Inigo's final duel is so epic. I especially love that moment where it cuts back to him, and everyone thinks he must surely be down for the count, and then he plucks the dagger out of himself and keeps going.
On top of everything else, the music by Mark Knopfler (of Dire Straits) sets the tone perfectly.
This is one of the few movies that I consider perfect
I 100% agree... Perfect movie
Fargo is another movie I consider perfect.
Agreed, perfect movie, total desert island movie.
Yes. This is a film for posterity.
Because you don't read you'll never know the book IS EVEN FUNNIER! I mean like stop reading cause you're laughing so hard you are crying type of funny.
A thing that happened during the production of this movie:
Andre the Giant (Fezzik) wasn't really an actor and he kept reading his lines in a slow, lugubrious manner. It was a tricky situation because as time passed no one knew how to tell a 7'5", 500lb man he was doing it wrong. Then one day during rehearsals, as Andre sat there with the script in his hand reading his lines very slowly, Mandy Patinkin, in character as Inigo, yelled, "Faster, Fezzik!" and slapped Andre hard in the face. The shock of it brought Andre out of his stupor and after that, his line readings were fine.
@Freerefill Yeah exactly, wrestlers have to be able to act to at least some extent, but they're used to playing off each other, not so much just reading lines. So Mandy Patinkin playing Fezzik in character probably helped him get into it.
I think I missed out on the first 2 minutes of this video because I couldn’t get over how cute Beans is just lying on his back 😍
I would highly recommend “This is Spinal Tap”. About a has-been British heavy metal band on a US tour. If you watch it, keep in mind that there was no real script for the movie. They had a framework and the actors made up the lines as they went along. It’s a classic.
“This Is Spinal Tap” a rock n roll parody, a story non-existent band, comedy Directed by Rob Reiner
Turn it up to 11.
A classic!
Wasn't that movie recorded in dubly ? 😉
Nigel Tufnel grew a sixth finger to be in the Princess Bride.
@@lafelong And he’s an actual, for real BARON playing a Count.

That is one big boy.
He once drank a record 119 cans of beer in six hours! The guy's hand was larger than my HEAD o.O

@@yw1971 His parents was romanian, but he was french. Born in Coulommiers, France.

Don’t forget Carol Kane as his wife.
I can always tell how much I love a review by how much I smile and girl, my cheeks are sore and my eyes damp from this grin cemented on my face all the way through. Loved your reactions to one of my favorite movies of all times. The best thing about this movie is you can have a crowd of 8 to 80s watching it and they all enjoy it. Inconceivable, I know. Thanks for the review.
Stardust (by Neil Gaiman I think) is the only film to come even close to the same level of enchanting fantasy adventure/comedy/fun!
I love that movie. Shakespeare was hilarious.
The movie was nothing like the book but I love both of them.
Yes I love stardust
Apparently the director / producer of Stardust loves The Princess Bride and Stardust is a homage to it (as he knew he could never better The Princess Bride).
It's a tossup between them... I did see them both in theatres, Stardust in a reviewers screening I won tickets to... Princess Bride was at a reshowing since a local theatre does a month of showing classic movies. I also got to see Spaceballs and Ghostbusters during it.
Stardust is magical
Old person here: almost everyone is this movie is an incredible storied actor in their own ways. Highly encourage you to look any of them up and watch more of their work. Billy Crystal is a comic genius and the world wouldn’t be the same without him just as one example.
PS you could make a whole RUclips channel on Rob Reiner alone 🙂
Even the damn priest ("Mawwadge...") is a living legend of British comedy.
Melancthon7332 it’s true. The Impressive Clergyman certainly earned his name.
Another Old Person here...I was going to leave a comment from the perspective of someone who grew up with Princess Bride having seen it In The Theater the first week it came out. Correction: Having seen it TWICE the same Day... and leaving the theater already "quoting" it with my friends!
Then I saw your comment and realized that you had already said everything I was going to say! So Thank You for that. You saved me a lot of typing....heh

@@wilgar Yes, I'm well aware.
I know a year late but anyone who has ever asked my favorite movie all time has been told The Princess Bride. I love that you love this and my viewing your watching of it made me feel it all again ♥️
In my mind this is the most quotable movie on earth!
I saw it in theater without having any idea what it was about and was literally falling out of my seat laughing 😂🌟
"I want my father back, you son of a bitch" is the only moment in this silly movie that makes me burst into tears every time.
This is one of the greatest movies ever made. It manages to be a comedy, a drama, an action movie, a send up, and a really sweet relationship story all at once. Successfully. This is a rare gem. And it never ceases to amaze me how many people have not seen it.
Completely 100% agree
Perfect film. Great cast, top to bottom. Peter Falk as the grandfather with the final, as you wish, at the end. Letting his grandson know, I love you. What an ending.
Please review "A Fish Called Wanda." It has a similar vibe and just as many laughs!

"how have i waited so long to watch this move?" -- everyone after seeing this movie for the first time. love this movie so much.
Best line: "I'm not left handed either." Although "Have fun storming the castle..." is a very close second.
My favorite line is, "They were both poisoned. I spent the last few years developing an immunity to iocane powder."
"I want my father back you son of a bitch" will always be my favorite
@@RichardX1 never bet someone at their own game 🤣
My favorite Inigo Montoya line is, "I swear on the soul of my father, Domingo Montoya, you will reach the top alive."
“You’re a decent fellow... I hate to kill you.”
“You seem a decent fellow... I hate to die.”
Ashleigh, did you recognize the little old man in the cabin in the woods?
That was Billy Crystal and he was the lead male actor in "When Harry Met Sally".
Remember now?
Fun story that Robin Wright (Buttercup) likes to tell about this movie is one of times she was working with Andre, a very sweet man in real life, and it started raining. Andre literally put his hand over her head it kept her dry
"Safe in the Fire Swamp? - scene change - Does Yoda live here?"
Aaand subscribed. 😂
They did say the King had died, but that was just part of Buttercup's dream
OH!!!! that makes sense.
@@awkwardashleigh Yeah, the line "The King died that very night" was literally the beginning part of the dream. :P
My daughter gave me this movie last Christmas. Loved it!!! Love your reactions. They were so cute. I also adore Close Encounters and also love ET. Have you seen Gremlins?
Every wedding you ever go to for the history of time you’ll have an uncontrollable urge at some point to stand up and say…”MAWWIAGE!!!”
As much as I love this movie.
I love “Ladyhawke” more.
That’s my favorite fantasy/adventure flick of the 80’s.
It’s a fantastic movie .
I’m 55-
I saw it in when it came out in 1985
I still tear up at the end.
You simply must watch it if your watching and enjoying Princess Bride.
Ladyhawke is a bad movie
The author who wrote the book that film is based on asked his daughters for ideas on a title. One daughter said, "Princess." and the other said, "Bride.".
The prince's father died in her dream. He didn't really die.
My favorite part is the sword fight, because they're trying to kill each other, but all the while, they're having this really polite conversation about technique.
what always gets me is from the start Inigo lets Westley wait hill he was ready, he even hands him is sword, completely trusting that Westley was a man of honor just based on the first few minutes of conversing. Right from the start they have immediate respect for each other and that runs all the way until the end when Westley just knocks him out. I wish we had just a fraction of that in our actual society!
Mandy and Cary trained on the set HARD for that fencing scene with a master swordsman so they could do a realistic sword fight.....well mostly realistic lol
@@Thor_Odinson about as good as two actors could conceivably have. Considering everything but the flips is the real actors
One reason it was so good is that the sword master started way back choreographing Errol Flynn. He also did the original Star Wars.
It makes me so happy that you loved this movie because it is such an amazing movie! Loved your reactions!
"How light is this woman?!" burst out laughing.
Mel Brooks connection: Rob Reiner the director is the son of Carl Reiner who just passed. Carl was one of Mel's best friends.
Last year there was a "remake" on Quibi where several actors, including much of the cast, reenacted the movie via Zoom and Skype. And at the end, Rob Reiner played the kid in bed with his dad Carl finishing the book and saying, "As you wish." It was essentially the last acting Carl did before he passed. And remembering it makes me tear up as I'm typing it.
You should check out the films: Time Bandits, Willow, The Dark Crystal, Never Ending Story, Labyrinth. So many more.
Have you been peeking at my video collection?
Also Legend. Tim Curry as Darkness is F__king Smexy!
Any 80’s fantasy movie tbh
this is a fine list.
Definitely
I’ve been in love with Robin Wright ever since I saw her Princess 👑 Buttercup in the “The Princess Bride.” Her small part in the movie “TOYS” is all i ever remember about that movie, the bike riding scene with Robin Williams was hilarious! 😆
She was also amazing in a later film with her then-husband Sean Penn, called “She’s So Lovely.” Great movie! And of course her role in the new Wonder Woman movies is fun to watch.
She recently directed a movie called “LAND” about a woman, disenchanted with the world around her, moves to the harsh wilderness of the Rockies in search of a meaning to her life.
10:50: "[S]he wiped the tears away, tried to compose [her]self, act like a grown-up. Then [s]he felt the laughter rising again, like a grand tide. It was one fine moment."
The man who played Inigo Montoya said that the reason why the final "prepare to die" scene was so heartfelt was that when he pictured the six fingered man he was actually picturing the cancer that took his father. He said the "I want my father back, you son of a bitch" line was the hardest to deliver in the whole script.
Also, I second the 'A Knight's Tale' recommendation. 11/10
This is my favorite film. I mean that. When people ask me what my favorite film is, I say "The Princess Bride" without hesitation. I have seen this movie countless times and while I think the humor is very good and it always gives me a good chuckle, I felt the humor was rejuvenated by seeing the reaction of a new viewer of the film. I was laughing out loud at jokes I had long since taken for granted. So thank you for your review and keep them coming! I would definitely recommend Young Frankenstein, my second favorite film, if you haven't seen it yet.
Cary Elwes' book "As You Wish" has amazing backstory to making this movie.
So glad I found your channel!! It’s been a rough few months and watching your videos has provided some real bright spots this past week! In fact today I was feeling super discouraged and finally decided to watch this video.. it put an immediate smile on my face and lifted my mood in record time 😄 Thanks for sharing!!
I remember seeing this in the theater as a kid with my sister and grandmother. When he said "Mawage", I thought we were going to have to take grandma to the hospital, she nearly fell out of her seat laughing.
I couldn't even imagine!
As soon as he started speaking and you stared at the camera, I literally started (out loud): "Don't laugh. DON'T LAUGH! Don't laugh at his disability or you're going to He-- oh she's laughing already LOOOL".
Mandy Patinkin and Cary Elwes are just so great in this movie, and they have so much fun playing those characters it takes everything to the next level. They're so underrated and it's such a shame they haven't really gotten to the top of the business.
Mandy Patinkin is at the top of the business. It's just that his business is Broadway. He has done the occasional movie but he always ends up back on 42nd St.
To be fair, the book is BRILLIANT too however considering the author also wrote the screenplay for the film, it was a fantastic adaptation. It makes my heart happy that you liked it. :)
"The big guy"... that is hilarious.. :)
I love it! Love this movie too... Classic
If you're a sci-fi fan, and also want something with a bit of comedy to it - "Galaxy Quest" would be an excellent choice.
Excellent choice! It will work best if you're at least a little bit of a Star Trek fan. Or maybe if you cosplay. Or at least go to conventions.
And after watching Galaxy Quest, watch the movie about making the movie called “Never Give Up, Never Surrender”
The first time you paused to make a comment, I was like: YYYYEEEEESSS! Here's someone who will actually hear all of the dialogue instead of talking over it and missing things!
Would that make reactions better?? I'll start doing it if thats better for viewers!!
@@awkwardashleigh Those who have seen them already know the dialogue. We just don't want you to miss anything.
@@awkwardashleigh You did great! Paying attention to the dialogue (subtitles, even if you don't like them) is respectful. I've been disappointed by other reactions to this movie but yours was very enjoyable! Keep it up! Galaxy Quest, next? 🙂
The movie "Legend" has Tom Cruise and Mia Sara in an elf and goblin high fantasy good vs evil story. The villian is played by Tim Curry who played the original Pennywise the Clown. Defintely an iconic 80s movie.
One of my favorite videos of all time. Loved seeing your reactions :)
