Selecting to not watch this film is “inconceivable!” On this ‘80s basic, a grandfather (Peter Falk) reads a storybook to his sick grandson (Fred Savage) about “Fencing, preventing, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, real love, miracles…” The end result? One of the vital quotable films of all time.
The story-within-a-story is about Buttercup (Robin Wright), a ravishing lady who falls in love with farm boy Westley (Cary Elwes), solely to be separated from him by the evil Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon). With the assistance of grasp swordsman Inigo (Mandy Patinkin) and strongman Fezzik (Andre the Large), will Westley rescue Buttercup earlier than she is compelled to marry the prince?
