The Princess Bride – 9.975/10

Over the holidays we watche my all time favorite movie – The Princess Bride. In my opinion this is the greatest movie ever made. I’ve seen it at least 50 times and every time I see it I get something new from it.

Why, if it’s my all time favorite movie doesn’t it get a 10? Well, as I learned a long time ago from my high school music director no artistic endevor can be perfect. None. You can get lose to perfection but you can not attain it. If you could it wouldn’t be art.

So, I’m sure you’ve seen this movie, but if you haven’t drop what you are doing, drive as fast as your car will drive to Blockbuster and rent it. If you’re a Netflix.com customer do not put it on your list, GO RENT IT. GO NOW. Why is it so good? It’s got comedy, action, pirates, romance, the most amazing sword fight ever (and yes I’m using Benettie’s defence against you), princesses, kings, an amazing cast (Cary Elwes, Mandy Patinkin, Christopher Guest, Andre the Giant, Fred Savage, Robin Wright Penn, Peter Falk, Carol Kane, and Billy Crystal) – how can you go wrong with that? Oh, and Rob Reiner directs it. It really is a wonderful movie, and seriously if you haven’t seen it see it, you’ll thank me for it – and if you don’t like it, well, you’re a total idiot!!!
