As you wish

One of my all-time favourite movies is The Princess Bride.

Is there anyone who hasn't seen this movie? Man, I just love it.

For those of you who are *gasp* unfamiliar with it, the story is as follows.

Buttercup falls in love with her farm-boy, Westley. Westley leaves to seek his fortune so that they can marry. Buttercup hears that he has been killed by Dread Pirate Roberts and she ends up engaged to Prince Humperdinck.

Before the wedding, Buttercup is kidnapped by three outlaws - Inigo Montoya (a Spanish fencing master who is out for revenge for his father's murder), a Sicilian genius Vizzini, and a giant named Fezzik.

However, the outlaws are pursued by a mysterious masked man, as well as the Prince's minions.

You'll have to watch it to find out what happens.

Here is the brilliant Mandy Patinkin playing Inigo Montoya:



And here is Peter Cook in his small role (warning - spoilers). Just bwilliant.

2 people easily amused:
