If you're an 80's kid, you have probably watched The Princess Bride.
This movie remains to be one of my favorite movies from Rob Reiner, the same guy who directed the riotously hilarious movie This is Spinal Tap. I was thrilled that Cinema Exmundo at UP Visayas screened it on Valentine's Day. After all, what better way to celebrate Valentine's day than to re-watch the adventure filled journey of Westley, the swashbuckling farm boy and Buttercup, the beautiful damsel in distress. If you are fond of fantasy movies, you will enjoy how the movie satirizes the fairy tale genre and the happily ever after. Somehow, I still do believe in true love and how lovers destined for each other can ride off into the fiery, glowing sunset.
I love this movie so much that I have watched it on DVD an unhealthy number of times- to the point I have memorized some the quotable lines. The movie references sometimes seep into my writings and conversations. Any cult follower of this movie won't forget the quotes and satirical references such as, "As you wish," Inconceivable," The cliff of insanity", "I am Inigo Montoya. Prepare to die!" and all other inanities.
Thank you Cinema Exmundo for screening my favorite romantic movie!
