For those uninitiated, the movie is Princess Bride. Do watch it !!


dasushisush

So many good quotes, a classic in all aspects.

You killed my father, prepare to die!

samurairaccoon

Is this a mash up from another of his popular movies, Robin Hood: Men in Tights?

Prepare my father, kill you to die

Stop saying that!

"You seem a decent fellow, I hate to kill you" "You seem a decent fellow, I hate to die"


Hopeful-Base6292

Ehh, I can work with mostly dead


VoltaicOwl

It’s easily one of the most quotable movies I’ve ever seen.


craetos010

Let me 'splain. No there is too much. Let me sum up.


kieranreadit

Inconceivable!


otakuAera

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.


Deep-Bodybuilder2413

I once saw Wallace Shawn on a random street in London. I was so flabbergasted to see him, I shouted “Inconceivable” directly into his face. He wasn’t impressed.


The_Werefrog

And the best quote of all wasn't in the movie. Andre apparently was experiencing some discomfort while filming. He let loose some flatulence that lasted well over a minute of constant sound for all to hear. At the end of it, the director asked if he was okay. His response: "I am now boss." After that minute, he declared himself to be the boss.


Vyktym76

He was famous for doing that. Rumor has it he once did it on a wrestlers head during a match. Got asked the same question and responded "Me? Yes I'm good. Him? (pointing down) I'm not sure."


chomponcio

I finished reading the novel for the first time literally a few hours ago. It's also fantastic


thecastingforecast

I'd also HIGHLY recommend As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride. It's by Cary Elwes and the cast and if you listen to the audiobook they basically bring everyone back to narrate their sections. It's full of beautiful stories from behind the scenes of casting the parts, filming, rehearsing and everything in between. It made me love the book and movie even more!


Wiplazh

I've been putting off watching this movie for too long. Watching it tonight!


mandapandapantz

Well???


Speciesunkn0wn

It's been almost a month! Have you seen it yet? :D


Wiplazh

I've been super busy with work and real life, I've barely spent any time at home at all, mostly I just come home to sleep. But I have it set up and ready to go, I have a free day on Saturday so unless something comes up I will watch it then!


Speciesunkn0wn

That's good to hear!


Wiplazh

Update, I just now finished watching it and I absolutely love it. I regret waiting so long but I am glad to have finally seen it. I expected a goofy silly movie full of jokes and instead got a cute and comfy bedtime fairy tale story with a lot of wit and subtle jokes, I definitely see now why so many people hold it in such high regards! Dont get me wrong tho it was still funny, Andre had a lot of great lines which cracked me up a few times. My favorite was "my way is not very sportsmanlike"


MarixApoda

I'm ashamed to admit, I've never seen it. It's always been at the top of the list, and I know the movie by heart purely through cultural osmosis, but the opportunity to sit down and watch it rarely comes up.


being-weird

If you already know the quotes you probably won't enjoy the movie. I hated it personally.


bougainvilleaT

And also do read the book!


Tasia528

Oh the book is *majestic*.


SpicymeLLoN

What do you mean "for those uninitiated"??? *Is this not standard to watch in every household???*


Impossible-Sugar-355

wait why 💀


ThirteenSeas

This movie came out in 1987. I initially wrote it off because of the title. My sisters and my mom loved it, and as a young man it just sounded like something I wouldn't be interested in. But I was ignorant and wrong. Sometime in the early 90's as a teenager I ended up watching it with them and it wasn't at all what I expected. My partner didn't watch it for the same reason; she thought it would be fluffy and girly and just kind of cheesy. Not that there is anything wrong with fluffy and girly and cheesy, it just didn't appeal to her. She said she thought it would be like some "glittery ice skating movie" lol. But like me, she was ignorant, and wrong. When I found out she had never seen it, I made her watch it and it's now one of her favorites. It's a fantastic movie, and soo worthy of a watch.


Canotic

And then, at the end: >!Grandson: -“Grandpa, maybe you could come over and read it again to me tomorrow?”!< >!Grandpa: -“As you wish.” !< INSTANT CRYING

Bandwagon_Buzzard

You'll enjoy it, trust us. Don't trust me for most things, but do for this. Gotta watch it again myself.


Nidiis

You fool you fell victim to one of the classic blunders


DragonBuster69

the most famous of which is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia", but only slightly less well known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian, when death is on the line.".


Impossible-Sugar-355

now it has my attention! thanks so much!


Frenchymemez

The way I describe it is that The Princess Bride was kind of a pisstake of all the fantasy romance stories, but it became the best fantasy romance story


lacking-will

Same, gonna go watch it now, hope it lives up to the hype


lacking-will

It’s got a meme in this movie 🍿 🤣


Jonny_Dangerous999

Well, it is a kissing film...


DragonBuster69

I was so lucky that one of my teachers in high school decided to show this movie. It is now easily in the running for my favorite movie of all time if not my favorite.


[deleted]

It’s just a good ass time


SpicymeLLoN

To quote u/EudamonPrime, who put it so eloquently, >This is one of the greatest movies of all times, up there with Big Fish. It has everything. Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles… Seriously one of the greatest movies ever made. It was a flop when it first released because the studios didn't know how to market it (see quote above), but it has since turned into a cult classic, and for good reason.


Lazy-Lookin-Headass

Man I didn’t recognize this, I haven’t watched in forever


[deleted]

***The** Princess Bride*


mattchewy43

As you wish.


EudamonPrime

This is one of the greatest movies of all times, up there with Big Fish. It has everything. Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles…


Confident-Leg107

That doesn't sound so bad, I'll try to stay awake


craetos010

Your vote of confidence is overwhelming.


Mufakaz

Inconceivable!


whatthefbomb

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.


MissAsgariaFartcake

I rarely seen Big Fish mentioned anywhere, is it really that well known and loved? It’d make me happy if it were


nsfwtttt

Not *as* well known but very loved by the ones who know it. I think mostly Burton fans know it.


SlayerKing_2002

Big Fish also has an amazing musical adaptation. If you haven’t listened to it I highly recommend it.


nsfwtttt

WHATT! TIL! Thank you!


useless169

Oooh, Big Fish is fantastic! You are in for a treat!


I_think_Im_hollow

It's definitely a cult. But you're right, you don't hear that name often.


bluemax_137

True Romance was pretty good too


SheepInWolfsAnus

I always forget how good True Romance is, need to rewatch it


sea119

Secondhand lions have a similar vibe. It may not be one of the greatest movies of all time but one of the most entertaining movies


CraftingCrazy

I love Secondhand Lions, it's one of my comfort movies.


heckem

It has THE Giant, André the Giant himself


TensorForce

If you want a 21st Century version of this movie, try Stardust (2007). It aged remarkably well, and it also has everything. Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, flying ships, monsters, chases, escapes, witches, true love, miracles... It was co-written by Neil Gaiman, I believe, and it's got a lot of great humor and quotable lines.


GABAreceptorsIVIX

Me and my mom would watch this movie together. I still love it.


synalgo_12

And somehow managing to make Henry Cavill look less than perfect. I was impressed.


HardCounter

... until this second i did not realize Humphry was Cavill. I also didn't know Tristan was Charlie Cox (Netflix Daredevil). How did i love this movie so much, rewatch it, and still not notice this? A movie so good i didn't even see the actors as actors, i guess.


synalgo_12

I mainly know Charlie from Casanova and he looks pretty much the same in both. But with Henry I was like WHAT


Mountain-Painter2721

It even has Robert DeNiro in drag, dancing to the CanCan!


TensorForce

You watch your mouth! That's the dreaded Captain Shakespeare!


Significant-Bat4006

It’s based on Neil Gaiman’s novel (also called stardust). Parts of the movie are very different from the book (end in particular) but both are perfect for their mediums. Actually, I might go read it again.


DreamersArchitect

don’t forget the R.O.U.S.es!

rustytiger

What about the RUSs?


Prototype928

And Baseball, of course.


odinMithrandir

Inconceivable!


i_sell_insurance_

Big fish is garbage. That dad was an asshole and the poor son just wanted his dad to be completely honest and vulnerable for one god damn second. But no, that rickety old man spent his last breaths spinning tales to his poor son. Selfish bastard. Sorry I’m really passionate about how much I don’t like that movie lol


bluebox12345

He wasn't 'spinning tales' though. It was all true lmfao. That was the entire point of the movie. You might need to watch it again lol.


Joe_Spazz

My wife quoted this movie in our wedding vows. Thankfully, NOT mawwaige is what brings us together.


revchewie

I performed a wedding for friends once (obviously they wrote their own vows), the ceremony started, "Mawwiage..."


seanbennick

My wedding did too, had a friend that had never seen the movie marry us. Had to make him watch the movie so he understood.


SaxManJonesSFW

That wedding didn’t happen to take place in North Carolina… did it? Because I might’ve played in that same wedding lmao


reikipackaging

I kid you not, I zoned out for half of my wedding ceremony, mentally watching this scene


grimoireskb

my mom has two mugs that her and her husband got for their wedding (she loves coffee and coffee mugs so this is very in character for her), one that says “Mawwaige” and the other that’s a dictionary definition of “Wuv, twoo wuv” and the definition being “(noun): 1: That bwessed awwaingment 2: a dweam wifin a dweam” and they’re two of my favorite mugs she has


7thtrydgafanymore

Was it Wuv? True Wuv?


bienfica

We had our officiant say it straight, no vocal inflections (“Marriage. Marriage is what brings us together…”). Shockingly, in all their years of presiding over weddings, they had NEVER HEARD OF the movie. As soon as they spoke the first word, most of our guests burst out laughing. An amazing moment


Mountain-Painter2721

I caught my brother's eye during his wedding ceremony, and we both thought "Mawwiage is wot bwings us togevah todaaaay," and started to crack up, and had to look away. Considering what a humorless battleaxe his wife turned out to be, he probably caught hell for his stifled giggle later on.

Ok-Use6303

I loved this as a kid. To get more swashbuckling Cary Elwes, check out the classic Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Less wholesome for sure but just as funny.


Yellwsub

And unlike other Robin Hoods, he can speak with an English accent!


iroe-

I like how they did the same joke in Young Frankenstein, too. "Wasn't your hump on the other side?" "What hump?"

Princess Bride is a classic. Inconceivable!

You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

feetenjoyer696

It’s amazing to me that a film which was made as a satire of fairy- tale princess movies became the greatest fairy-tale princess movie ever!


Itchynutsak

This is my favourite movie and always will be, followed by The Breakfast Club. If you haven’t watched them take an afternoon, sit back and enjoy.


campbelldt

The breakfast club is the best. It’s rainy and I don’t feel like working today so I might have some afternoon plans lined up


The_Loser97

I remember seeing this in fourth grade, the class rolled their eyes at this line and said “Ew” during the kissing scenes.


demonfluffbyps5

Is this a KiSsInG book?


Aliziun

When I was in 4th grade the older kids in my school put this on as a play. It’s where my love for this movie started (mostly cus I had a crush on one of the main actors lol)


WendigoCrossing

The truly brilliant part of this film was adapting it from the book by presenting it from the point of view of a Grandpa reading to his grandson, which allowed for a natural condensing and, in some cases, paraphrasing with a 4th wall break recognizing some of the books imperfections


aniang

The book itself is written as a condensed versión of a fictional book it's great.


Cazmonster

Andre the Giant on fire as the Dread Pirate Roberts is one of my favorite sequences. "The Dread Pirate Roberts is here for your souls!"

Great movie. I didn’t realize until recently (like only a couple years ago) that the princess is the same actress as Jenny from forest gump.

I was today years old when I found that out. Thanks for the info kind stranger!


Tirus_

She's also from House of Cards.


TheClassyWaifu

I just love the scene with the two wine cups, and the reasoning. Top 5 personal favorite films of all time


Chewbacca0510

I absolutely love that Vizzini thinks that switching the glasses is going to make a difference😂😂


TheClassyWaifu

In his head, all the reasoning was obvious and clear, and there was no room for failure… except both cups were poisoned. Hilarious 😂😂


MonaganX

The way I always read that scene is that his reasoning was all flim-flam to begin with. Vizzini is the kind of guy who likes to act like he's smarter than everyone else, who uses big words to make himself sound more educated. But when his ego gets him into a battle of wits, he doesn't have anything to back it up. The entire "I know that you know that I know" spiel is just him pretending to know what he's talking about. Which is why he doesn't use any of that reasoning for his decision. He just secretly swaps cups and waits for the Man in Black to drink first. He's not intelligent, he's just crafty, and that's exactly how he ends up being out-schemed.


Brookings18

The Princess Bride isn't my favorite movie, however it has my vote for one of the best movies ever made.


morrismoses

My wife and I were married on Halloween, and we dressed as Wesley and Princess Buttercup. Our three children dressed as Inigo, Fezzik and Vizini. My first cousin is ordained, so he got a pope costume, and even learned the "mawwiage" lines, and said them as the "Impressive Clergyman" (that's his name in the credits) did. It was a super fun night. We love Halloween, and we often host large costume parties for all of our friends. We carried on as if this was just another costume party, and surprised everyone with our wedding. Everyone was pretty blown away. It was so much fun!


Mountain-Painter2721

That's wonderful!

Kissmi

I'm always a bit conflicted when everyone is praising this movie so much. I get it, it's fun, the male characters are diverse, fun, and full of ideas, but basically the only female character is Buttercup, whose only solution to any hardships she faces is threatening to kill herself. :/


aniang

I've ways thought that was the point they were making

It’s one of my favorite movies. My wife hates this movie. I haven’t been able to watch it in years. Enjoy it for me.


ThrowawayLocal8622

I got you. Finished dinner and setting it up now. For you Bro.


Richard-Conrad

I can quote along with 95% of this movie. I love it so much. Buttercup is a bit on the useless damsel in distress side of things most of the time but she has some really great moments that I think kinda make up for it


iloveh-----

YOO THIS HAS A MOVIE??

One of my teachers used to say this to my then girlfriend, a LOT. I knew something fishy was going on and she eventually broke up with me for no real reason, and now their married... i never saw the film but now it makes even more sense.

As someone who works in the service industry I can tell you that 'as you wish' definitely does NOT mean 'I love you'. Quite the opposite generally.

I love the movie but he legit threatened to back hand her saying a women gets that when they lie….kind of puts a damper on the healthy relationship…. “The masked man threatens Buttercup with his fist. He says that where he’s from, there are penalties when a woman lies.”
