    If the Princess is otherwise (not alive) when I find her, I shall be very put out!
    I listened to Cary’s audiobook, it’s not to be missed if you’re a fan! Doubly if you’re into filmmaking/theatre, since it touches on so many amazing things behind the scenes (a lot of focus on how they learned swordplay for the epic duel). Everyone definitely needs to check it out!

    Just watched this on tv last night.
    If we won, don’t worry we won’t let it go to our heads.

    There’s a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive.

    The entire cast was wonderful the humor, the Whitt Rob Reiner‘s direction Billy crystals improv. Been watching this movie for over 25 years. No matter how many times I watch it. I never get bored of it. It still makes me laugh.

  86. J. B. says

    I still quote Princess Bride almost every day, and I was an usher at a movie theater when Robin Hood Men in Tights was in theaters. I would love to spend an evening listening to Cary Elwes – I don’t care if he’s just reading a phone book.

    “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.”

    This whole scene with Carol Kane and Billy Crystal is extra fun. My next favorite is: “Humperdink! Humperdink! Humperdink! Humper-diiii-iiink!…”
