    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

    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.

    I will forever love this movie, and no one can take that away from me. Easiest plot to follow that’s actually entertaining, hour 30 which is perfect, and some of the most iconic lines ever in cinema come from this movie. One of my all time favorites. 10/10⭐️

    8.5/10 My childhood!! This is another classic that lives in the psyche of nearly everyone I know of, including many celebrities who did a lockdown/home parody of it. It’s timeless, it’s family fun, it’s a fantasy world you can get lost in.

    Watching this felt like watching a low budget stage play - in a good way! It didn’t live up to the hype but it is still a good movie. I understand why so many people love it but the nostalgia isn’t there for me since it was my first time watching it. Could’ve been better! 6/10 🤔

A percolating comedy. The laughs may not tear your belly up, but they're constant and they dovetail with the story.

Not even the crude ethnic humor--Billy Crystal's Mel Brooks-ish Miracle Max--pricks the dream bubble, and the spirited cast has a field day.
