Brilliant film no matter how many times you watch it.
Fantastic cast, fantastic director, and fantastic script.
There are a shortage of perfect films in the world. It would be shame to damage this one.(And The Princess Bride is a Christmas movie!)

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A storybook adventure told with winking affection for fairy-tale tropes, where true love and wit prove more powerful than swordplay. It's endlessly quotable, warmly funny, and genuinely moving without ever losing its sense of fun.

Reviews
Wallace Shawn is just the best. The battle of wits with the poison is my favorite scene. I loved it so much that I was a little bummed about everything afterwards because I wanted more Vizzini.
<B>Me</b>: You should watch this now.
<b>You</b>: As you wish.
