A kindly grandfather sits down with his grandson and reads him a bedtime story. The story is one that has been passed down from father to son for generations. As the grandfather reads the story, the action comes alive. The story is a classic tale of love and adventure as the beautiful Buttercup, engaged to the odious Prince Humperdinck, is kidnapped and held against her will in order to start a war, It is up to Westley (her childhood beau, now returned as the Dread Pirate Roberts) to save her. On the way he meets a thief and his hired helpers, an accomplished swordsman and a huge, super strong giant, both of whom become Westleys' companions in his quest.

IMDB 8.1/10 (130,669 votes) Top 250 #191

The Princess Bride is the finest family movie produced since The Wizard of Oz. (OK, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory falls into this very exclusive category also.) Widely adored yet somehow still dismissed as a "cinematic trifle", The Princess Bride is quite simply one of the most entertaining films you're ever likely to see. Nearly every single component of Rob Reiner's movie is a winner, from the picture-perfect casting to the ridiculously beautiful scenery to the sweet-natured and very funny screenplay.

The Princess Bride (1987)

As the film opens, we meet a little boy who has taken to bed with the flu. His gregarious grandfather stops by for a visit and brings with him a book entitled The Princess Bride. Despite some initial reservations, the young boy is soon hypnotized by his grandfather's storytelling. (One of the film's most clever conceits is having the grandson interrupt the movie several times, offering the exact same questions and comments that your kids would come up with!)

The fairy tale tells the story of young Buttercup, a beautiful young maiden and her beloved Westley. As Westley is nothing more than a poor farm boy, he quickly decides to hit the road to seek his fortune, at which time he'll return for his beloved Buttercup. Suffice to say that things don't go as planned.

The Princess Bride (1987)

Once upon a time, in a land called Hollywood, the jester Meathead (secretly director Rob Reiner) decided to expose his true identity as a prince of the projector. Polishing his pate to a luster and making a wish for a blockbuster, he proved himself thrice worthy. Still questing acclaim, he decided to cast a really big spell with a magnificent fairy tale, "The Princess Bride."

And so it came to pass that the young and the young-at-heart alike were granted their wish: a movie for the whole family. It is the sweet, slightly silly story of Buttercup, the most beautiful woman in the world, and her true love Westley, a farm boy from the kingdom of Florin. Two-time Oscar-winner William Goldman, tongue in cheek and a twinkle in his eye, adapts his bestselling novel for Reiner's splendid romantic adventure.

In truth, it's a story within a story, which finds a boy, bedridden with the flu, at the mercy of his cheek-pinching grandfather. The old-timer reads aloud to him from the book "The Princess Bride." The boy, who prefers computer games, is less than thrilled. "Is this a kissing book?" he demands. Grandfather reassures him with promises of monsters, mayhem and chase scenes. Ten-year-old Fred Savage as the grandson and Peter Falk as the grandfather grow closer as the story of Buttercup and Westley comes to life.

The Princess Bride (1987)

The characters are classics, played to a fare-thee-well by an eclectic, entirely credible cast led by Robin Wright of the sudsy "Santa Barbara." Wright has the title role, her first in film, as a heroine as dense as a Disney ingйnue but as impishly up-to-date as Di.

Cary Elwes, who was the queen's consort in the costume drama "Lady Jane," is no stranger to partnering princesses. He plays the most optimistic protagonist since Superman, part Errol Flynn, part Leo Buscaglia – a rube turned swashbuckler in pursuit of perfect love. "Was that so terrible?" he says to his companion after an early scrape with the outsize, ravenous rodents of the Swamp of Despair. Anon, Buttercup, believing Westley drowned, has agreed to marry the smarmy Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon) but she is snatched by ruffians and the adventure is truly begun. The kissing stops and we get to the good parts.

The Princess Bride (1987)

There's Arthurian action-comedy, set in the ruined castles and rolling hills of England and studded with stylistic, eccentric actors. Billy Crystal, one of the most memorable, not only steals his scenes, he plunders them. He plays Miracle Max, a Yiddishe wizard who gives the hero CPR with a bellows. "I've seen woise," he says of Westley, who luckily is only mostly dead. Carol Kane is also an asset as his wizened wife Valerie, a Hobbity-looking buttinsky who shares his hovel.

Mandy Patinkin is absorbed by his role of Spanish swordsman Inigo Montoya, complete with a crazy-quilt Castilian accent. Montoya, one of the kidnapers, is a free-lance swordsman hired by medieval mafioso Vizzini, played with relish by Wallace Shawn of "My Dinner With Andre."

Andre (not the one from dinner) the Giant costars as the gang's strong man, Fezzik, a good-hearted colossus with a Schwarzeneggian brogue that is even muddier than Patinkin's. But presence – 525 pounds' worth – is what counts when you're talking giants. Fezzik, a bad giant in the beginning, is bested by Westley, because he is used to fighting large groups and the moves are different man-on-man. He falls like a sequoia under the saw. "Sleep well . . . and dream of large women," says Westley over the unconscious big guy.

The Princess Bride (1987)

It may sound like Mel Brooks and the Holy Grail, but the parody is never that coarse. The characters really believe in their mission. If they didn't believe, the little boy wouldn't.

Goldman, who first wrote the screenplay in 1973, keeps things screwy, lightly twisted, but sincere and endearing. He revised the script for Reiner, who was attracted to the relationship between the grandson and the grandfather. The two characters interrupt the fairy tale to quip, argue and get better acquainted. "It isn't fair," protests the boy when poor Buttercup is about to marry the evil Prince Humperdinck. "Life isn't fair," says his grandfather gently.

As a good fairy tale should, "The Princess Bride" teaches but never preaches. It's a lively, fun-loving, but nevertheless epic look at the nature of true love. And, of course, that means living happily ever after.
