Recommended Posts

This is one of my favourite movies of all time. It has a bit of everything - fantasy, romance, comedy, adventure...

 

This is one movie pretty much everyone knows line by line!

 

And who says Andre the Giant can't act?

 

Discuss.

It's a Rob Reiner film. The humor is somewhat similar to Brooks'. Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits composed the soundtrack.

Soundtrack is downright outstanding.

Battling Rodents of Unusual Size

"As you WISH!"

Great movie.

I love the poison part.

You've beaten my giant, which means you're exceptionally strong. So, you could have put the poison in your own goblet, trusting on your strength to save you. So I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But, you've also bested my Spaniard which means you must have studied. And in studying, you must have learned that man is mortal so you would have put the poison as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me. rofl3.gif

I actually read the book (William Goldman adaptation) before seeing the film. Really good book, written as the film is presented, from the perspective of a man sharing his favourite story with a sick child.

 

The film itself is awesome. An action packed, tongue in cheek romp with some great lines, awesome humour and choreography to die for.

A great movie. I'm not sure if I would say the humor of the film is similar to Brooks.

 

Some of my favorite lines

 

Westley: You've made your decision, then?

Vizzini: Not remotely! Because iocaine comes from Australia, as everyone knows. And Australia is entirely peopled with criminals. And criminals are used to having people not trust them as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.

Westley: Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.

Vizzini: Wait till I get going!

[pause]

Vizzini: Where was I?

Westley: Australia

Vizzini: Ah yes.

 

Vizzini: Ha-ha, you fool. You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, 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."

 

Prince Humperdinck: Tyrone, you know how much I love watching you work. But I've got my country's 500th anniversary to plan, my wedding to arrange, my wife to murder, and Guilder to frame for it. I'm swamped.

Count Rugen: Get some rest. If you haven't got your health, you haven't got anything.

 

Miracle Max: Go away or I'll call the Brute Squad.

Fezzik: I'm on the Brute Squad.

Miracle Max: You *are* the Brute Squad?

 

Miracle Max: He probably owes you money huh? I'll ask him.

Inigo Montoya: He's dead. He can't talk.

Miracle Max: Whoo-hoo-hoo, look who knows so much. It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do.

Inigo Montoya: What's that?

Miracle Max: Go through his clothes and look for loose change.
