This movie is the anti-fairytale: Prince Charming is the villain, the pirate is the hero, the giant is gentle, and the emotional revenge story with the climactic final battle is given to the first henchmen knocked out at the begining.
Wait a sec. You didn't know that giants are gentle?? Lol
There's a reason why there's a "little" term known as the Napoleon Complex. Haha! 🤣
@kitrichardson9916 the "gentle giant" trope is an inverse of the expectation which is that they're a danger, which dates back centuries to stories like Jack and the Beanstalk, the Odyssey, David and Goliath, and really anyone on the battlefield who's over 6'5".

This movie taught me 1. Never start a land war in Asia and 2. Never go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line
But he was inconceivable
3. Don't f with America's boats.
That is only slightly less well known...
And Kahla's reaction taught me you have to save money for revenge. 😄
@@jamesjones7526 Or figure out a way to monetize it. Like an only fans for revenge.
This was apparently Fezzik (Andre the Giant’s) favorite job he ever did, because nobody was gawking at him. They filmed in England in the fall and winter, and poor Buttercup (Robin Wright) was really cold in her red dress. So Andre would put his giant, hot hand on top of her head to keep her warm. His back was so messed up, that he couldn’t catch Robin when she jumped into his arms. She was completely on wires so as not to hurt him. He said he loved eating lunch with everyone in costume because he was able to blend in. He hung out mostly with Miracle Max (Billy Crystal) and Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin.)
Hearing her voice break when she tells that story always hits me hard.
I did not know that. Thank you
There are so many great stories from this filming. If you haven't done so yet, I'd recommend checking out Cary Elwes (Wesley)'s book he wrote about the whole ordeal. Its fascinating how many great stories came from one movie's set.
That’s my dad’s all time favorite movie.
@@nathancruz9172Mine too (hell, my whole inner forearm is dedicated to a tattoo inspired by it). Sounds like your dad has great taste.
Of course Wesley and Inigo are polite to each other. Just because two people are going to try and kill one another doesn’t mean they can’t be civil about it. I even used one of their(slightly modified ) lines on my future son in law the first time he came to pick up my daughter. “You seem a decent fellow. I’d hate to kill you.” And he knew the movie and answered back “You seem a decent fellow. I’d hate to die.” That’s when I knew he was ok.
That reminds me of the friendly hairstylist I once met, who was strongly opposed to color change. He seemed a decent fellow, but would hate to dye.
@@0okamino *Groan*
@@0okamino DAD JOKE ALERT!!!! And kudos for it.
That's awesome 👌
Cute 😊
"Who are these stunt people who had to roll down the hill like this?"
It was actually the same man who did it for both. They filmed the shots of "Westley" going down the hill first and he then went up the hill again, put on a dress and wig and did it all again.
And then spent the rest of the day soaking in a hot-tub, I should think.
A bit of Princess Bride trivia I actually didn't know. Thank you!
@@sanityisrelative Same
And a bit of camera trickery, as the hill is not quite THAT steep, but still a big hill not to sneeze at.
Mandy Patinkin (Inigo Montoya) has said that this role enabled him to kind of symbolically fight the cancer that took his father IRL. LIke, it was therapeutic. It adds this whole layer to his performance & to his most famous line.
The line, “I want my father back, you son of a bitch” always makes me teary cuz my dad died of cancer and I know what Mandy was going through
Mandy says that he improvised that line with the feelings he had regarding his father and how he wanted him back.
@@Greybeardmedic I can tell, the way he says it
Yeah, that was badass. Cancer is a terrible thing.
He made a great tiktok going into detail about it and I sobbed watching it.
Since the invention of the movies, there have been 5 movies rated the most passionate, the most pure. This one left them all behind.
One of the 5 wittiest and best comments in all of YT.
The pirate ship is named The Revenge, which means Indigo will still be in the revenge business. Took me years to make that connection 😔😂
I didn't put that together!
I was today years old when I got that! Thanks! Lol
oh my gosh I never realized that! What a fun thing
I also love the six fingered man played Nigel in "This Is Spinal Tap" who's amp went to eleven.
His fingers go to eleven, as well, in this lol
Rob Reiner directed both.
🤘🏼✌🏼🤪
The line "I I would sooner destroy a stained glass window than an artist like yourself."is so good
It truly is. There are so many gems in this movie.
I love how, when he's telling the story about his father and the six fingered man, Inigo just hands his sword over Wesley (the guy he's supposed to fight to the death), and after examining it and complimenting the workmanship, Wesley gives it back to him. They're so respectful and, as Fezzik would say, sportsmanlike.
I like to think that this is the moment when Wesley decides not to kill him.
"Get back, witch!"
"I'm not a witch, I'm ya wife!"
🤣🤣🤣
This movie's amazing.
My wife and I echo that exchange fairly regularly 😂
Humperdink! Humperdiiiiink... Humperdink Humperdink Humperdink!
But after what he said, she might not want to be that anymore.
@@notreallydaedalus mine got the t-shirt and it hangs on the back of the door.
Who says she can't be both, lol
Robin Wright (Buttercup) tells a really wholesome story about Andre The Giant. She says that the crew went horseback riding one day in the countryside when they had a break from filming. They got caught in freezing rain on the way back and he noticed her shivering. She says he rested his enormous hand on her head like a hat, she said it both warmed her up and kept the rain off surprising well, but it also made her feel safe and protected.
Andre was a giant among men, in heart and body. Most people dream of the strength he possessed, but he spent most of his time worried about accidentally hurting people and so he was careful around them. His strength allowed him the privilege of kindness. He was born big, but it was his heart that made Andre a true Giant.
*Wright
@@fezzik7619 Ah, thank you. I'll fix it.
This movie wasn't a box office hit when it came out. Years later Carey Elwes was at a restaurant and ordered a burger the waitress asked how he'd like it cooked and he said medium well and she replied "as you wish"
When they screened the final cut of this movie for the cast and crew, Mandy Patinkin (Inigo Montoya) said he cried at the end. When his wife asked him why he was crying, he said, “Because this is the best movie I will ever be in.”…or something to that effect. It is a truly special movie and, although he has played many good roles since then, as have the other actors, honestly, I think what Mr. Patinkin said was true for them all.
This thing, simply, is a masterpiece.❤
It really is. It's pretty much perfect. Even the things that aren't really perfect just add to its charm and kind of make it more perfect anyway.
There’s an interview with Cary more recently and he says something like, “It’s odd to think but when I die people will say, ‘Westley’s dead.’ Like, I’ll probably have Mostly Dead written on my tombstone.” Isn’t it crazy to be able to know what your life’s work will be before you’re even gone?
@@TheHedgehogGiraffe indeed. Indeed.
That's fitting for him. He has/had a reputation in Hollywood for leaving any series he was in that were popular. He would just leave, whether he was written out or not and at the peak of their popularity. He truly must've mean it and thought of this movie comparing his future projects to this movie.
The actor playing Inigo's father had recently died and he channeled it so well that the actor playing the 6 finger man was actually getting scared.
Oh, wow! That explains why that moment is so powerful and holds so much conviction.
@@kahlareacts And if you watch it again you will notice that Mandy Patenkin uses a Spanish accent for everything but, when he says "I want my father back you sun of a bitch!" he is delivering that without an accent. That is one of the things that makes it so powerful.
I think you meant that Mandy Patinkin’s (Inigo Montoya) father had actually passed away in real life not long before they shot the movie so Mandy was still in pretty deep mourning. That’s why the scene feels real.
@@kahlareacts The actor's father died of cancer when he was a kid, and when they shot that scene where he finally kills the six fingered man, for one moment it felt not just like he'd actually killed the thing that killed his father, but also that his father was back. There's a short little clip here where, quite a few years later, he talks about it and his experience. czcams.com/video/IGgjJ6IlH6U/video.html
Mandy's father had passed away in 1970 when he was 18.
I watch a lot of Princesse Bride reactions (thank you algorithm) and this was by far one of the best reactions to this movie I've seen. You caught little things a lot of reactors miss and just overall were a pleasure to watch.
Agree 100%.
Miracle Max's scene was entirely ad-libbed by Billy Crystal & Carol Kane
The scene kept being ruined because Wesley (who is supposed to be dead) kept laughing during takes.
"Entirely?" Certainly not, a _lot_ of that dialogue is straight from the book.
@@collymorpheous8575I may be wrong but I think I remember hearing he broke a rib from laughing so hard in this scene 😂
One of the best last lines in the history of the movies.
I was going to say that but you beat me to it.
Your's might be my favorite reaction to The Princess Bride. I once thought I was interested in this cute girl, but when she said she didn't like The Princess Bride, I knew it would never work out.
I think that’s a completely reasonable standard to have. It would put a damper on your relationship.
@@0okamino more of a damper than if either of us were scaling The Cliffs of Inanity
Having children with such a woman would be.... inconceivable :D
Dodged a nuke with that one, my guy.
Worth waiting for the right one, true love doesn’t happen every day 😊
‘That extra turn was just for the razzle and dazzle!’
My favorite movie! Two lines bring the tears every single time: Inigo's "I want my father back" and grandpa's "as you wish." Perfect movie.
William Goldman is the screen writer for this movie and also wrote the original book with the same title. He has won 2 Oscars for other movies as a screen writer and he said The Princess Bride was his favorite project he has ever done (he wrote it for his daughters). He was so protective of this project that the direct had to personally talk with him and convince him to let him do the movie. The book is good!!
I didn't know the author helped with this! That's amazing!
@@carissadallke1345 Even the main actor Cary Elwes just literally finished a tour around USA, where he screens the movies with audiences and tells behind the scenes stories and answers questions from fans. He wrote a book about it and his interaction with the actors, including the author.
When talk of a remake was floated around non other than Cary Elwes himself responded. There is a shortage of prefect movies in this world, it would be a shame to ruin this one.
"My way's not very sportsmanlike." 😢 😢 I miss you Andre.
A classic movie that didn't get enough attention when it first came out. I've seen it many times and I'm still finding new lines or things to appreciate about it.
This movie will definitely be in the rotation for when I need a good laugh.
@@kahlareacts This is the perfect Sunday afternoon movie.
Did you ever read the book? It's really fantastic! My stepsister recommended I read it, and I did and loved it. Not long after that, I went to a movie and saw a preview for this film! As soon as I got back to my dad's house I ran to my stepsister and yelled "GUESS WHAT?"
@@DravenGal I read the book about 10 years before the movie came out. The first time I saw the movie, I HATED it. It has since become one of my favorites, but the book was just so WONDERFUL.
@@russellclaycomb146 It was, and full of details, like how they came into possession of the holocaust cloak. But I loved the movie too. A large part of that love was drooling over Cary Elwes, though. Boy, did his appearance change! It took half the movie before I recognized him in Saw!
Have fun storming the castle!
Think it’ll work?
It would take a miracle
Just don’t go swimming for, at least, what… an hour?
If I ever get married, I want my officiant to speak just like this dude so the guests have to stop themselves from laughing lol
When my friends got married, I started the line just outside the church... and EVERYONE JOINED IN!
@@ShujinTribble lol that’s hysterical
"Murdered by pirates is good!" This movie is perfection. Thank you Rob Reiner.
There's a whole sequence in the book where Fesik and Inigo collect the ingredients for the miracle pill. Fesik has to go to a fire bog to get one and borrows the (fire proof) holocost cloak to do so. Since it actually fit him Miracle Max let's him keep it.
It's the only cut from the book that causes confusion.
"Mawwage"
*Dies immediately*
Lol.
Maybe the coolest sword fight in cinematic history 😍
_Maybe_ the coolest, but _certainly_ the most congenial and courteous.
I mean, the swordfight/wedding in Pirates of the Caribbean World's End was pretty epic...
@@cucamongaphilipshow many YEARS later was The Pirates of the Carribean movie?
@@larrystuder6378 Pretty sure Bob Anderson choreographed both, so...
It's written in the screenplay to be "the greatest sword fight in cinema history". There were 2 of the old school sword masters on the film, I can't remember their names, but they were old-timers, and they worked with Mandy Patinkin and Cary Elwes thru the whole shoot, practicing every spare minute, until they got very good at it. The 2 sword fights were among the last things shot.
i've finally realized why this movie is so good: it has the same layout and humor as a shakespear play, but actually written in acessable language and a bit modernized. its perfect
What a great reaction Kahla...
Your suspension of disbelief -- "I didn't know MOSTLY dead was a thing." for example -- allowed you to enjoy this film as you should, imo. Radiating enjoyment like an adult-kid would!
And I'm glad she didn't laugh at the "guide my sward" scene, as so many young reactors do.
I'm almost 40 and The Princess Bride is such a family favourite that I don't remember the first time I watched it. When Inigo says that he wants his father back, I still get chills. And ever since I heard the story about Mr Patinkin's dad, I can't watch that scene without tearing up.
"Quicksand... and now we have ungodly large rats?!!" -- Great commentary, instant fan. Subscribed.
Apparently, as told by Wesley‘s actor when they were doing the parapet scene, Andre, the giant, a.k.a Fezzik farted and it lasted 15 seconds and when it stopped, the Director asked Andre if he was OK and Andre responded without missing a beat with I’m OK now boss.
Your quicksand comment was right on !! As a kid I was terrified of quicksand 😂😂😂 I only learned recently what quicksand really was 😂😂
Honestly the reality of quicksand is almost worse than movie versions of it.
I lived near a lake, one day I slipped off the dock and into the mud and legitimately thought I was going to die.
It was just mud but it like suction gripped my legs , and I didn't know what might be living in there.
I lost a shoe to it before pulling myself back up onto the dock
That's what I always assumed quicksand to be like
Best reaction I've seen. This may be a little "age-ist", but most of your peers had a lot of trouble immediately grasping the sheer wit of every exchange, instead getting lost in plot details. It was refreshing to hear you laughing throughout while still catching the feels at the right time. I hope your generation learns to appreciate the power of the word as well as you.
Agreed. You are, also, the only reactioner to ever really grasp the part where Buttercup had no choice in the marriage. Most rag on her for choosing to marry the Prince thinking it was an option.
The fact is, sadly, that a lot of reactor channels, regardless of age, adhere to a formula of insincere and fabricated awe. They are too busy projecting an image of wide-eyed credulity and surprise to bother having a genuine reaction. They feel the need to reinforce the idea that they have never seen not only the movie they are watching but any popular movie of the past forty years along with denying any cultural osmosis.
I, for example, have never watched a John Wick movie. I heard a puppy dies, and decided to not bother. Just by being alive I know that John Wick is a retired hitman, best of the best and the puppy is the last thing he has of his dead GF/wife. That the guy who killed,led the dog was the son of a high ranking bad guy. The hitman community is highly stylised with the theme of an exclusive gentleman's club. They access services with some rare coin or token, that their traders are allied sommeliers, but recommend and sell weapons rather than wine. The son bad guy is killed but there is more to it beyond that and, I presume, some showdown or confrontation with the father that may 9r may not end in a truce or a fight... not sure. Wick is a beastly close combat fighter and perfect marksman in such a way as Hollywood choreography can allow.
Never seen the films, nor even watched a trailer or clip video. That, whether accurate or not, is what pop culture references has given me.
Yet the rank and file of reactors claim to know nothing of any movie, be it Star Wars or the MCU or The Matrix... works that suffuse modern culture with references and concepts. They are so busy pushing the false narrative and acting as if they know nothing that they pretend not to know things just shown to them in the film.
The appeal of reactors, to me atleast, is the experience of showing a 'friend' a movie you like that they haven't seen. This reaction was a great example of that, I think we can all agree. Khala seemed to genuinely react to this rather than mug for the camera.
Yet the genre is overloaded with fake-assed trash. It isn't a generational or age related thing, it's an over saturated market clogged with bad product.
@@AnonEyeMouse this is actually a very salient and well-stated point, +2
@@AnonEyeMouse Totally agree. But I think you'd like the four reactor guys at Badd Medicine then, because they're really open about which of them that has seen the movie they're reacting to. And they also do the thing you asked for, they show a movie to each other just because they want to share it.
I've seen a lot of reactions that feels faked, like "Really? You haven't seen The Matrix? One of the biggest blockbusters of later decades, that has been playing on every channel since? And you haven't heard of it either?"
Inconceivable!
But the three channels that never feels faked is Badd Medicine (watch their Coco reaction), Nice Dude Movie Night, and Popcorn in Bed.
@@AnonEyeMouseI'll also add, some channels also try to look too deeply into something, and the joke they think has some deeper meaning
Because I like seeing people react to my favorite movies, I've grown bored of seeing some movies reacted to, but this is one of the movies I could watch and could watch people react to over and over.
I just found your channel like 20 minutes ago and I’m already amazed. I’ve never seen anyone figure out that Humperdink was the one that wanted to start a war so quickly. That was so impressive to figure it out during the tracking sequence!
A truly perfect movie. Not a line wasted, everything is quotable. A perfect family movie, date movie, action movie, romance movie.
I won't say this is the best movie ever made, but it is my all-time favorite movie. It always puts a smile on my face. It's always excellent. Every second is perfect, from the kid playing baseball at the start to the grandfather's "As you wish" at the end.
Fun fact, when the six fingered man hit Wesley over the head with the hilt of his sword that actually happened, it wasn’t a trick or a sound effect. They couldn’t get the sword hit to work properly so the actor that played Wesley just told him to actually hit him in the head with a sword and he did that clunk sound when Wesley got hit was actually him getting hit with a sword.
I love that Vizzini actually solves the riddle (he can't drink either goblet), but then talks himself out of it.
You love the writing and the wit, because it's fantastic writing. Also, this is one of the movies I watch when I'm home sick, or depressed and need a laugh. I usually pair it up with another Cary Elwes swashbuckling comedy, Robin Hood: Men in Tights.
This is another amazing movie! 😂❤
The writing IS brilliant, but the ad-libs are comedic genius, too. Most of Miracle Max's chatter was Billy Crystal just channeling his Yiddish grandfather. "A nice MLT..."
"They're talking technique too?" I laughed out loud. Hard. Love it!
I'm 40 years old and grew up watching this movie as a child with my family and then as a teen with my friends, and now I watch it with my own kids. It's so wholesome and all the jokes still land. I laugh at the same things now that I did when I was 6 and 7 years old.
The people who like this movie, love it. A charming fairytale. Nice to see you enjoyed it.
I think the third guy (the Sicilian) actually was being smart, he wasn't actually trying to explain how he's figuring out which cup the poison is in, but instead he kept on yapping while staring at Dread Pirate Roberts to try to get a reaction to him considering either of the cups. When that failed, he switched the cups in secret and when Dread Pirate Roberts was pleased with seeing him take the cup in front of him, he got the reaction he desired because only he knew that the cups were switched.
Basically if it had been a fair challenge with only one of the cups being poisoned, I think he would've won.
I always thought it was interesting that, through all Vizzini's bluster, his logic ended up being kind of correct. He had reasons why each cup had to be poisoned, but didn't put it together.
William Goldman, the author of the book and screenwriter, had two young girls. One wanted a story about a princess, the other wanted a story about a bride. Other William Goldman movies to watch... Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Marathon Man, All the President's Men...
No no no, as we’re all aware, Goldman was just abridging Morgenstern’s novel so that he could read it to his son.
The Myth hath you!@@donaldpratt2296 "The Princess Bride's story is credited to one S. Morgenstern, but in truth, this is a total lie: there is no S. Morgenstern, and his non-existence is a part of the lore behind William Goldman's Princess Bride novel.
I used to watch this movie on repeat when I was a kid and as I got older and understood more of the humor and story, it has stayed one of my favorite all time movies. Really glad you enjoyed it.
When Peter Falk says "As you wish" at the end, I always cry!
This and "The Fifth Element" are some of the best mixed genre movies out there.
Personally, I can't stand The Fifth Element, but Chris Tucker singlehandedly has a lot to do with that. Just as Kate Capshaw has a lot to do with me hating The Temple of Doom.
@@user-mg5mv2tn8qI would’ve agreed with you when I first saw T5E, but over time Chris’s character fits the movie. Gary Oldman is equally over the top, and it works. He played an over the top cop in The Professional and was the only thing I didn’t like about that movie. Maybe that character will grow on me too.
Wonderful reaction, Kahla! This is my first time on your channel, and I'll definitely be back! Did you know that the actors playing Wesley and Inigo Montoya ACTUALLY DID THE DUEL THEMSELVES? They rehearsed it every day for MONTHS, and when it came time to film it, they did it BRILLIANTLY. Also, this is by far William Goldman's best screenplay, based on his book. He told the story of how he was on the Fire Swamp set and when the flames hit Buttercup's dress, he (the writer), started SCREAMING, "HER DRESS IS ON FIRE!" The associate producer took him aside and said, "Bill, try to remember--her dress is SUPPOSED to be on fire..."
In the 1960's one of the biggest singer sex symbols was Englebert Humperdinck, don't judge a book by its cover.
Okay, fair 😂
Which must have been quite confusing for fans of the composer whose name he adopted. 😄
“Hey, Engelbert Humperdinck is doing a performance here next week.”
“Wait, what? Didn’t he pass away in 1921?”
Of course you did. Its a perfect movie. Theres not a single solitary bad or wasted moment, not a genre it doesnt touch on a bit. Its perfection.
I love this video because watching an adult watch it for the first time is such a gift, it’s like watching it for the first time again!
Princess Buttercup was Jenny in Forest Gump. So that part in the beginning when grown Forest and grown Jenny walking down the road still appeared to be in school; they were maybe 30-40.
Tom Hanks was in his 30s then, Robin Wright was still in her 20s.
This film is 100% the most quotable and meme-able film ever made.
It really is such a good movie. Utterly unique, with memorable characters, quotable dialogue, and all the feels. Glad you got to see it.
I first saw this as a child, and the priest had me laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. To this day when I get a friend to agree to do something with me I'll say to them: Ha ha, you fool! You've fallen victim to one of the classic blunders!
A great reaction to my favorite movie of all time. I have seen this hundreds of time since it first came out when I was in high school, and it never gets old and I still tear up when the grandfather tells his grandson, "As you wish." Perfect.
Cary Elwes, who played Westley, wrote a book called "As You Wish" which contains many stories about the making of this movie and the cast and crew from this movie. It is an excellent book and I highly recommend it.
“Beautiful and odd”- the perfect summary of this entire wonderful film
“He is not the State Farm boy you once knew”- 💀🤣💀🤣
You, miss, are so beautiful and so smart and this is such a wonderful reaction. It makes me feel like I’m watching this movie for the first time.
And your voice is enviable. Such a great and beautiful voice. Sultry.
Ok, ok. I see. He's not the same Farm Boy, he's a State Farm boy. That's why he's such a good neighbor, and shows up unexpectedly.
I feel validated hearing you talk about being irrationally afraid of quicksand. #SAME
Discovering your channel has brought me such joy! You are hilarious, and I cannot wait to watch other reactions.
Fun fact: the guy who plays the evil Prince is also the voice of Jack Skellington.
I recently read that the actor who plays Inigo envisioned the 6 fingered man as the cancer that took his father’s life. “I want my father back, you son of a b*tch”. Very emotional but apparently somewhat cathartic for him.
Interesting fact, (50/50 someone else mentioned it) the grandson grows up and plays in several tv shows and eventually director of some shows or movies. His name is Fred Savage.
This movie is pretty much perfect.
I went and looked up quicksand like a dork to see if there was any known spots in my state, and I found a National Geographic article saying that it's basically impossible for humans to sink past the waist in quicksand due to the density. It's hard to get out of, but it's not going to suffocate you.
One of the all time cinematic greats, they never made them like this before and they never will again. The budgetary limitations may be obvious at some points, but with writing this good nobody will ever care, and the places where its most obvious come across as charmingly campy rather than annoying or distracting. Its an entertaining ride from start to finish with dialogue so clever that you could quote a line at random and it would still be almost guarantee to be iconic. I feel honored to be blessed to have been born at the right time to see it, the world is a better place for having this movie in it. Take notes Hollywood, _this is how you making a f***ing movie!_
"I don't know how to describe it but the humor is so intelligent, and I love it." Woman, you just explained it perfectly.
He's such an honorable swordsman, that he hands the man in black HIS SWORD to inspect it. Without concern that he would simply use it to kill him. Always gets me the look he gives when he takes the sword.
One thing I learned that really tied this whole movie together was that the story is portrayed as the way this child is imagining it. That's why a lot of the characters and happenings seems a little childish. Love it!
I’m beyond ecstatic, because I’m going to an event next week where Cary Elwes (Westley) is speaking and sharing fun anecdotes and behind the scenes stories. Once in a lifetime opportunity!
You did such a great job with this reaction! You were infectious and fun like always, the edit was really well-done, just all around it was a blast to watch. Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks so much!
"It had all of the things..."
Indeed, it has everything in perfect proportion. Easily my favorite film, not question. Glad you got the chance to enjoy it!
Oh, how I LOVE this movie! When I was a jr & sr in highschool, I actually went to this weird program where we were basically in college instead; we lived in a dorm on a college campus, but were treated more like we were in juvie. But we got to hang out in our dorm common room for part of each night, and we all watched & rewatched a handful of movies that we had (on VHS). This was one of them. I've probably watched it at least 50x by this point, probably a lot more! 30 years later, I still have pretty much every single line memorized!!! 🥰❤❤❤
I too had an irrational fear of quicksand as a kid.
I still rewatch this whenever im feeling down
Thank you for your wonderful reactions.
The screenplay for "The Princess Bride" was adapted from his own novel, by the late William Goldman. He wrote the novel for his daughters when they were very young. His other works are notable, as well - "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (1969) from his original screenplay, and "Misery" (1990) where he adapted the screenplay from Stephen King's popular novel and reunited with director Rob Reiner ("The Princess Bride") once more. I also enjoyed Mr. Goldman's "Marathon Man" (1976), a thriller adapted from his own novel.
Adding to this: The novel is a loving parody of the classic adventure novels Goldman read as a kid, mainly the ones by Rafael Sabatini (many of which were made into swashbuckling adventure movies). Which is how the movie also does things - it's a loving parody of the movies _based_ on Sabatini's novels, complete with Westley being a mix between Zorro and Errol Flynn's characters.

12:55 sad but kinda funny remark given Andre’s back problems especially for that specific scene. poor guy
Apparently, (wallace shawn) vizzini. The man with anger issues. He was really scared of hights IRL. André the Giant told held him close and told him he would take care of him in the cliffs of insanity scene and wallace shawn felt a lot better and stopped being afraid.
this is the best movie ever made, perfect to the last detail and eminently quotable.
My sister had me officiate her wedding. She knew I hate crowds. To get back at her I started her wedding “ mawwage…” 😂
My sister-in-law is a HUGE fan of this movie and quotes it constantly. I was able to in her own wedding, get the pastor to use the word mawige when he began. Everyone who knew her (including her) had huge smiles on their faces. It was perfect.
I was a kid when this came out, and I loved it from day one. I've watched it probably hundreds of times since, and I still love it every time. They really made something special, and it's a shame that it took a while for people to realize.
"At this point just drink from the bottle." Impressive, you survived the battle of wits!
Love your reactions. You have a natural personality that is pure joy to watch. Not sure how to explain it.
Thank you! I’m glad to know you enjoy them.
If there was (and there probably is) a list of the best film scripts ever produced, 'The Princess Bride' would definitely be in the top ten. It's got virtually everything you could want in it, and everything is so perfectly balanced out - the romance doesn't overwhelm the comedy; the moments of danger are genuinely dangerous, and the moving moments are genuinely moving, despite the fact that a joke was probably cracked not twenty seconds prior. And all of this without ever resorting to crassness or gross-out humor, without a single now-dated pop culture reference or a moment of bathos or cringe - just pure wit and class. I won't say there will never be another film like 'The Princess Bride', but if there is, we will have to have relearned an awful lot of lessons before we get to it.
So glad you got to see this! It's one of the greatest movies ever made. So many quotable lines, so many laughs, and so much heart. Believe me, it is worth rewatching many times.
Oh, thanks for doing this. Oh, the memories. Those were the days. You are a true beauty. Next film to check out - CLUE. Its fun!
One of my favorite things I’ve read posted about the princess bride is how revenge is handled here compared to every other movie. In particular, “I want my father back, you son of a bitch.”
Most movies would have Inigo go, “killing you wont bring my father back, so there’s no point in ending your life”
Instead we have “You can’t bring my father back, so there’s nothing that can save you.” Which I think works much better
He also never got consumed by revenge and found something to live for after he achieved it, making him more than vengeance, which is necessary for a good character (although Inigo is, of course, one of the best)
Mandy Patinkin (Inigo Montoya) had just lost his father to, if I remember correctly, cancer before filming the epic fight/revenge scene. You can hear the pain in his voice as he wishes to have his father back..
there are few 'perfect' movies but Princess Bride comes close
One of the best movies ever. It has something for everyone.
If you're a reader, the book is so amazing and very much the same wit, as the screenplay was written by the author. And the premise of it is even a little like the movie, where it's meant to seem like a real story by "S. Morgenstern." Author William Goldman, passed in 2018. Such a great book!
I have watched several Princess Bride reactions. I enjoyed yours possibly the most. Love your demeanor and class.
My favorite movie of all time! I love you’re reaction and you reacted to a lot of my favorite parts that others either cut or don’t react to (like Inigo’s line “I think they are using the same wind we are using “ 😂😂)
That quicksand point is no joke. All of those movies when we were kids had quicksand 😂
Mandy Patinkin, the actor who played Inigo Montoya, has given interviews before about this character. I believe his father had just died from cancer before the filming. He said it was almost like therapy, every time he went against the six-fingered man or said 'You killed my father, prepare to die.' He was getting the better memories back that cancer had stolen.
When I was a kid my aunt and uncle had a satellite dish, back when that was a big deal, and sent us a bunch of movies they had taped on VHS. There were several good ones, but for a time I was watching Princess Bride, Ghostbusters and Spaceballs CONSTANTLY.
