The Princess BrideLast Hogmanay my wee sister and I decided to stay in and get a crappy film to watch whilst getting hammered and bitching about other people having fun. So I googled top comedies, just to see what would come up. This film, The Princess Bride kept on appearing. Every list I looked at. Now, sis and I had never heard of the film, so we thought 'why not?'. Went to the local video shop, and they didn't have it, so we rented some awful Adam Sandler vehicle, which we didn't even sit all the way through it was so dire.
Anyway, a few days later, I happened to notice that The Princess Bride was on channel 5, so I flicked channels, found it, and the whole family watched it.
I have never seen my father in tears of laughter like that before, my boyfriend (whose english is limited) was actually rolling around on the floor, my siblings and I were in pain from laughing. It was great.
So that is my current favourite film - sorry to all of you who saw it when it first came out, but I'm merely an embryo.

An American classic?It's one of those films I hadn't seen before either, but apparently almost every American has... a bit like A Christmas Story.
After I had seen it, a whole load of quotes and things I'd seen on the web suddenly made sense... such as "Never get involved in a land war in Asia!" and "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!"
