    Thanks to Mr Vizzini, I’ve learned a new word: “inconceivable”. I used it earlier when Mrs Bird told me the marmalade cupboard was empty.

    when fezzik the giant asked why westley was wearing a mask and he said “they’re terribly comfortable. i think we’ll all be wearing them in the future” …. maybe he was ahead of his time

    7-Year Old Me: This is the best story I’ve ever seen! I love fairytales. 14-Year Old Me: This is the best piss-take I’ve ever seen! I too, hate fairytales. 20-Year Old Me: This is the best meta-post-modern actioner-adventure-comedy-romance-with a wink I’ve ever seen! I love fourth wall breaking. 24-Year Old Me: Wallace Shawn is the funniest person to exist *ever* and should only be treated as such. Oh my God that’s Peter Falk. Oh, and this just might be the best movie I’ve ever seen. I love it. It’s perfect. I love movies. A lovely send-off to a less-than lovely year. Happy New Year folks!

    hic ama hic bekledigim gibi cıkmadı. disaridan bakinca çok masalsı duruyor ama izleyince o kadar da masalsi hissettirmedi. kız karakter çok pasifti, sinirimi bozdu. bir de yan karakterleri ana ciftten daha çok sevdim en azından onların sahneleri eglenceliydi. ana ciftin aski bana hic gecmedi btw

    Fantastic classic! Always a great rewatch and stands tall in the modern film world as a true love story of the ages. The characters are beautifully unique and well written. An incredibly entertaining comedy aspect that floods the film with its feel good nature, whilst also retaining its Shakespearean love and adventure style tale. Must watch and fall all ages!

    One of the best films ever made period, i can rewatch this multiple times a year and still feel the joy and whimsy as if i were watching it for the first time. Adventure, Action, romance, comedy AND DEATH….AND NEVER BET WITH A SICILIAN WHEN DEATHS ON THE LINE… INCONCEIVABLE!!!

    Pure childish imagination … with joy & whimsy so strong— that it bridges the disconnect of the generational gap . It’s crazy how infectiously goofy , clever and witty it is . Cary Elwes plays the perfect Robin Hood-esq character … how fitting he played him just years later . Haven’t seen this in a long time , and reminds me a lot of “ A Kid in King Arthur’s Court “

    David 8 月 24, 2026

    Simplemente hace el trabajo de la parodia a las películas de caballeros y princesas de manera perfecta. Además la química entre todo el elenco y las absurdas batallas de espadas refuerzan más la visión de Rob Reiner. Lo único que no me acabo de conectar es que en ciertos momentos el narrador se vuelve un poco pesado y rompe el ritmo pero a su vez es necesario para reforzar la burla al género. Más luego, Iñigo Montolla es uno de mis personajes favoritos del cine(punto).

    i know blasphemous but this movie is so annoying and exhausting. We had to watch it so many times in high school and everyone felt so quirky quoting it nonstop. the movie itself, without the cult following and pop culture impact has its charms but its also just so boring to me

    inigo and fezzik carried so hard. dialogue was peak. they were vocal stimming all over the place. BUT WHY WAS BUTTERCUP SO USELESS. when that sewer rat thing started attacking westley all she did was stand there… sword was literally there.. and she only hit it when it got to her feet. for being true love she surely did not do shit to preserve it and her trump card was killing herself like boy 😭😭😭😭

    6/10 – I thought I liked this movie more than I did. Watching it outdoors was a fun time, but halfway through I was just bored. Very quotable, certainly, but just doesn’t live up to the hype around it. This movie was PACKED, and so many people love it. Something tells me that love is based around more nostalgia than substance. What am I missing?

    This was one of my mom’s favorite movies growing up. It wasn’t a throwaway, background movie either. She sat and consumed it every time we watched. Laughing and repeating her favorite lines. When I watch it now, the memory of me glancing at her every time she laughed or recited some dialogue is all I can think of. This movie puts me in such a good mood and I hope it always will. I love you mom! 🫶🏾

    cool quote: Offer me money. Yes! Power, too, promise me that. All that I have and more. Please… Offer me anything I ask for. Anything you want… I want my father back, you son of a I can’t compete with you physically, and you’re no match for my brains. You’re that smart? Let me put it this way. Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates? Yes. Morons. i think i just went in with too high of expectations coming into this and found it silly, still was really funny at times

    Everyone talks about the sword fights. I’m thinking about “as you wish.” The perfect reminder that love can be ridiculous, dramatic and still completely sincere. A fairy tale for people who think fairy tales are a little bit ridiculous. A film that understands that the most romantic thing isn’t perfection. It’s persistence. True love, but with significantly more fencing.
