The film is well-recognized for its abundance of potent quotables, and every character gets a memorable line, often several. Cary Elwes as Westley and Robin Wright as Buttercup (one of her first roles) are ideal starry-eyed lovers, the one gallant and dashingly British and the other beautiful, though rather helpless. The cast is a treasure trove of comedic talent, from Wallace Shawn as disdainful Vizzini to Andre the Giant as strong but gentle “land mass” Fezzik to Billy Crystal’s hilarious cameo as Miracle Max, who proves that chocolate does indeed have life-giving properties. It never ceases to entertain, and I think everyone involved in its production realized what a special film they produced. I know I’m not alone in saying that this is a film I could watch any day of the week, while quoting much of the ingenious dialogue. The Princess Bride is one of the most perfect films around, not in any grand or profound way, but in its timeless, endlessly amusing creation of a modern fairy tale, based off the book by William Goldman, who also wrote the screenplay. You wouldn’t mind hearing the tale once more? As you wish I’ll come again. When Buttercup and the trio of men Depart for safer hill and glen, The two lovers kiss as never before. When he finds the man he’s been hunting for, Montoya takes revenge at last, And because true love is unsurpassed, When Westley challenges pain galore, Prince Humperdinck will not compete Against a man death can’t defeat.

The two of them free him, though mostly dead, Revive him with a miracle bite, And before the wedding bells can chime, Help him inside ere the couple can wed. Meanwhile, Montoya and Fezzik unite, Planning revenge for a family crime, But they need Westley to plan it this time. Catching them, Prince Humperdinck won’t share That he’s locked Westley in the Pit of Despair. The two through the Fire Swamp take their track And fight when enormous rats attack. They are followed, though, by a man in black, Coming to kidnap their prisoner back, Facing the three of them, one by one, Defeating each, and once he has won, From Buttercup, Westley gets a smack.
Ere they are wed, she is caught by three Colorful, talented killers-to-be, Vizzini, Montoya, and Fezzik, who flee. Burdened by grief, she catches the eye Of Prince Humperdinck, a duplicitous guy.
He said to his love that he would return And not a thing could keep him away, But Buttercup is upset to learn That the Dread Pirate Roberts came to slay.
