Not just your basic, average, everyday, ordinary, run-of-the-mill, ho-hum fairy tale.
Silly, over-the-top and generally unbelievable. Also good fun. If nothing else it has a number of very good quotes in it :)
My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
Hence the Grolsch advert, I presume?
Sorry, don't know. Can't recall what advert you are referring to. - Kazuhiko
If it's the kung fu advert, then that's just derived from kung fu films, not PrincessBride --Mjb67
One of those things that will make no sense to someone who hasn't seen it but should be instantly recognised by someone who has (it helps if you get the accent right...).
So could one provide some info here, for those of us who don't really know what you're talking about? :) --AlexChurchill
... And here was me thinking that the PrincessBride was a famous movie... Hmpf. Ah well, I would recommend watching it when I lend it to SunKitten if you can. I can't think of much to say beyond the above that would do it justice... - Kazuhiko
Will be forcibly lent to SunKitten at the next LAC...
We enjoyed it. It's fun. We also enjoyed PrincessTutu ep 17, which is on BitTorrent now - if you haven't got it, go get it :) - SunKitten
I've got the book, and it's worth watching/reading the movie and the book, they are so different --Mjb67
Is the film actually available to buy anywhere? Apart from seeing it at VideoEvenings? over and over, I have not bene able to find it.
