❤BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY❤
PHILIPPIANS 2:13 NIV
13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.

This is a special movie for me. Andre was a good friend of mine. He was so proud of this movie. He said people would never forget him. Sadly he passed away in 1993. The plot and the characters fit perfectly and I like to show this to my grandchildren. They love it just as much as I do.

Grandson: "Grandpa, maybe you can come over and read it again to me tomorrow."
Grandpa: "As you wish."

Tears me up, every time.

There has never and will never be a more civil & gentlemanly sword fight put on screen. Ever.

Also <3 for noticing Columbo.

Awesome that you noticed the Grandpa was Columbo. This movie is a fantastically rewatchable movie.

Mandy Patinkin, (the spaniard) had just lost his father to cancer, so he said that during the final fight, he imagined that he was fighting the cancer that took his father and that's why the emotions of the final lines are so real.

Vezzini, the "Inconceivable Guy" dies because he:
1. Brought it on himself.
2. Is a bully who has no honor.
3. Would never have let Westley get away with it.
4.  It's inconceivable that he should survive.

The entire cast has nothing but glowing praise for Andre. He was actually having major health problems at the time of filming and he could barely lift the woman that played Buttercup. She says he refused to even try without a harness to catch her in case he dropped her. She also says that once the crew went horseback riding when they had some time off and they got caught in freezing rain on the way back. She says Andre saw her shivering and placed his enormous hand on her head like a hat. She said that apart from it keeping the rain off and warming her up surprisingly well, for some reason the action made her feel safe and protected. She says he was always sweet and kind.

Nice that you realized that Grandpa saying “As you wish” meant what he had read from the book at the beginning - “I love you”

I like how Indigo hands is sword over to Westley to show him his father's workmanship even though they're about to fight each other. Deep down, these two can sense that they're meant to be friends.

I can't believe someone your age even knows who Columbo is.

She knows Columbo!  Trust instantly earned.

THIS FILM SHALL NEVER BE REMADE!  It is too awesome on it's own . . .

The end "As you wish" hits me in the feels every time.

I'm sure others pointed this out, but the book "The Princess Bride" was told in a similar way to how the movie was--it's a novel in which the narrator has found and is abridging a copy of a book his grandfather read to him, so there are lots of flashbacks. One of my favorite details of the book is that the grandfather skipped 200 pages in the middle, and just said, "what with one thing and another, five years passed." When the narrator discovers a copy of the book, he realizes the 200 missing pages are extremely detailed and dull descriptions of the wedding preparations, so in the end, he decides to abridge it just as it was read to him: "What with one thing and another, five  years passed." The book is great fun and has lots more in it--but the movie is pretty faithful to the tone and plot of the book. The book was written by William Goldman.

The six-fingered man was Christopher Guest, who has been married to Jamie Lee Curtis for almost 40 years.

After my dad saw this movie, when mom would ask for something he's say "As you wish", so that line at the end of the movie gets me every time.

Don't we all wish we had a Grand-dad like that? Thats why that ending is special. And remember what "As you wish" means

YES!!  FINALLY A YOUNG REACTOR KNOWS COLUMBO!!

“I need the Man In Black.”
Inigo couldn’t find Johnny Cash, though, so Westley had to suffice.
