Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya...

There is simply no way that I could ever hide my deep affection for the movie "The Princess Bride." It truly has everything a movie enthusiast could desire: action, adventure, interesting characters, humor, sport, romance, R.O.U.S.s, miracles, and Andre the Giant. What could ever be better? I submit that there is not a more enjoyable film in the annuls of time. Disagree with me if you so desire, but I have yet to find its equal.

This being said, you now understand my bias as I say the following. You really ought to get a copy of William Goldman's (S. Morgenstern's) original book. I can honestly say that The Princess Bride is the only book that has ever urged me to laugh out loud while reading or thinking back on its text. It is a splendidly witty read that is crafted by a master wordsmith. Though it is now a number of years old, it is a must-read. Others read Tolkein books annually, I read my Goldman novel.


Most fans have a favorite line from this film. Here are a few of my favorites-

"You keep on saying that word... I do not think it means what you think it means."

"Life is pain. Anyone who tells you differently is trying to sell you something."
-Westley (Dread Pirate Roberts)

"No more rhymes now, I mean it!"
"Anybody want a peanut?"
