The Princess Bride (1987)

Once upon a time in a bedroom of a sick boy, lies the tale of romance and action that his grandfather would read to his father. Unlike your traditional love story, this film is consistent in the love story genre, It satisfies audiences at being a film that has action, romance and comedy. "The Princess Bride" is and has always been a classic. It will continue to delight audiences for several years to come.

Robin Wright shines as the shy and feisty Buttercup. She makes her debut in this film and does not cease to entertain. Co-stars  Cary Elwes  and Wallace Shawn are the films comedic pupils. The comedy in this film is unlike anything you've seen in any other romantic, fairy tale flick.

Directed by Rob Reiner. The way Reiner creates such a vintage and highly enjoyable film through depth and creativity seen like never before. The sets in the film are as country as they come. Even though the sets are not as intriguing as the fairy tale kingdoms we've come to know and love in our modern favorites.
