Since the Ella Enchanted thread I've been thinking of Cary Elwes and Wesley. *pokes avatar* Who loves this movie? How can you see it and not love it? It's funny and so cute amnd romantic. I adore Wesley, I really need to buy this movie.
Isn't what he says to her 'as you wish' I'm pretty sure it was but I couldn't remember.

I haven't seen that movie in a long time. I don't remember much of it.

I adore that movie. I've watched it countless times, and I've never gotten bored of it...in fact, I checked out the book of it at the library yesterday.
The Fireswamp scene is my favorite, and who doesn't love Cary?

Like I said before, I love this movie. It's funny because I SO hate any kind of happy ending or lovey-dovey stuff... the movies I like the best are the unrequited love/destruction of life as we know it ones. Maybe it's the cheesy non-stop humor (everyone knows Australia is peopled entirely with criminals...) maybe it's Prince Humperdink or all the swordplay. Maybe it's Cary. Yeah, it's Cary. Pretty much all the main actors are interesting in thier own light. Mandy Patikin, who plays Inigo Montoya, this guy is a classical pianist in real life. No bull. And Robyn Wright... she's Jenny in Forrest Gump. Seems like everytime I watch the movie I find some new bit of hidden homour. Like how the countries of Guilder and Florin are both forgein coins. What parts do you all think are the funniest?

the funniest bit for me is when people try to find the 'original' version by s morgenstern... and there isn't one
(i'm talking about the book here tho...)

Ohhh the book was so good... I had a friend tell me that there was no 'original' version so I avoided embarrassing myself by looking for it... ... I STILL think the movie's too romantic

I did not know there was no original. So did William Goldman lie when he said his was an abridged version? Or am I confusing things?
Cary Elwes is awesome.
I can't list a favorite part, because all are very good. I've seen the movie about 50 million times (I watch it anytime I'm sick, since it's about the kid hearing it because he's sick).
My friend made a shirt for me, which has random quotes we both know all over it, and one is, "'No more rhymes now, I mean it.' 'Anybody want a peanut?'"
I could probably quote through the whole movie if I tried.
Anyways, yes, he said "As you wish." In the movie, he said it meaning 'I love you.' In the book, he actually was saying 'I love you,' but Buttercup always heard it wrong.

I was thinking about it, and now it seems rather Snicket-ish, how he tells the story about why he wrote the story, and occasionally comments on the story in the middle of it with his or his family member's thoughts.

I love this movie, it's like, the first parody I ever saw. How do I love the Princess Bride? Let me count the ways. The rats of unusual size, the zoo of death, buttercup torturing the farm boy until she realizes she's in love with him, the name buttercup, the dread pirate rescuing buttercup from the handsome prince, fred savage wincing at all the "kiddy stuff" the grandfathers marvelous voice, miracle max and his witch, andre the giant and adam arkan, the little character actor dude (incontheevable!) from clueless, fezzik and inigo somehow having exactly what wesley needs for his desperate plan right on them somehow, the dread pirate wesley! Pardon my enthusiasm.

The guy from Clueless is named Wallace Shawn, in case you're interested to know.

I should've known that. It's one of those tricky two-first-name names. Now that I know it I can link up his fame audit. www.fametracker.com/fame_audit/shawn_wallace.shtmlHe's a "Hey, it's that guy" so it's only natural for his actual name to completely slip ones mind.

But what Boba was really saying was "I love you."
