Ho ho! You think THAT was chilling? Get the book and read that scene. They unchilled it quite a bit for movie audiences. 
In one of the DVD segments, Mandy Patinkin talks about the “I want my father back . . .” line. He said that he directed it not at Count Rugen, but at the cancer that killed his father. Apparently it gave him considerable satisfaction.
And I’ve told both my daughters that I will “give them away” (which I consider a semi-barbaric and dehumanizing ritual) only on the condition that the priest/minister/judge/druid/whatever begins the ceremony with "Mawaige . . . "
As per Superdude’s excellent suggestion, the lines no one likes from The Princess Bride:
Right. Thought so.
Indeed, twue wuv does pwevail.
While watching Shrek 2, on seeing Puss-n-Boots, I immediately thought:
“Hello. My name is Calico Montoya. You are an ogre. Prepare to die.”
Yeah, he’s not a calico (ginger tabby?), but the joke wouldn’t work as well.
A favorite -
‘As you wish.’
Saw the movie aeons ago. Came out of the theater stunned with a smile on my face and a sense of utter peace. Could not remember anything that I had just seen. Suddenly it all flooded back at once.
One of only a very few movies I would buy. I can watch it over and over and over…
As stated by others, now go out and get the book :D. It is one of my favorite books of all time. Wonderfully written and includes all the jokes of the movie (very faithful the movie is to the book) and includes many more (like all the jokes about ages of things).
Glad to have you on board ;).
Wow. I’ve never heard one of my suggestions being called excellent. Can I steal that for my sig? I’m such a flattery whore.
Sure you can !! After all, one man’s whore is another man’s… um…
–walks away whistling softly–
OK, I’m watching this for the first time on A&E and have a question. (My wife picks the best times to talk to me :rolleyes: )
The scene that just ended was where Elwes poisoned the wine and the smart guy died. I heard him say he poisoned both goblets, but missed what he said after that.
So what did he say?
He said he had developed an immunity to iocaine. Or did you mean the exact line?
“They were both poisoned. I’ve spent the last five years building up an immunity to iocaine powder.”
I could have this a little wrong:
You know how much I love to see you work. But I have a country to run, a wedding to plan, a wife to murder. I’m swamped.
I’m also watching it on A&E right now.
Robin Wright (Penn) was stunningly beautiful.
A wife to murder, and Guilder to blame for it. I’m swamped.
Get some rest. If you don’t have your health, you don’t have anything.
And thanks Inigo, for the full quote. ivylass lays the back of her hand to her forehead and swoons.
But are Robin Wright’s breasts really that perfect? Ivylad considers them a bit on the smallish size, but then he likes them big. (No idea how he hooked up with me ;))
I have a question about the timeline. On the day of the wedding, the Brute Squad cleans out Thieves’ Forest, and Fezzik finds Inigo. Fezzik “nurses his friend back to health,” a process that implies days, yet at sundown they’ve revived Westley and are storming the castle gate. That’s a lot to do in an afternoon.
Ivylad asked if it were true that you’re not supposed to go swimming after eating. (15 minutes for full potency, don’t go swimming for an hour) Ivylad says it’s an old wives’ tale, but I explained, if you are being revived after being Mostly Dead All Day, that the one hour rule probably applies.
No, it’s an old wives’ rule. Namely, Miracle Max’s old wife; and who’s going to argue with her? You?
When I was choosing my username I couldn’t think of anything especially cute or clever or amusing.
So I fell back on my profession, and it made me think of a line from the book. Buttercup, it was said, named her horse “Horse” because she was short on imagination.

Oooh, oooh, or this (from a few pages further back in the reviews):
Man, these are great!
Here’s my Princess Bride story. I wrote on the chalkboard of my high school French class (it was a rather casual class with a really young teacher): “Life is pain; anyone who says differently is selling something.” The teacher then talked to my friends, convinced that I was suicidally depressed to write something like that. :rolleyes:

They have to be a joke? Nobody who can figure out how to use Amazon (i.e. they can use a computer) is so stupid as not to pick up on the running joke…right?
Wesley: So you’ve done nothing but study swordplay ever since?
Inigo: Well, it’s been or of a pursuit than a study lately, after all it’s been twenty years and I’m beginning to lose hope…
Princess: But what about the ROUS’s?
Wesley: Rodents of Unusual Size? I don’t think they exist…
ROUS: RAAAAH!
