I've been watching The Princess Bride
last night and this morning. I understand that if you're really "into film" then it's something of a "cult movie".

Has anyone else seen it and do they have an opinion on it?

I love that film
Because it's hilarious. And Columbo is in it

I am of the opinion it's rather enjoyable.
Although it's status as a cult film is confusing to me.

It will become her favourite film of all time ever
and she will make Monty re-enact scenes, with her taking the part of Cary Elwes and Monty being Andre the Giant.

Because by that I mean becoming a porn star.

You'll keep it that way if you know what's good for you

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 9:28, Reply)

I've heard extremely contrasting opinions on it, it's unusual
The only other films I can think of like that are all either Ben Stiller films or things like This Is Spinal Tap.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 9:29, Reply)

Oh man, Ben Stiller is such a genius
that thing he does when he puts on a funny voice or pretends to be stupid or gets his best friend to try and commit suicide.
(Bazongaloid, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 9:31, Reply)

Oh God yes I really like him too.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 9:33, Reply)

The strange thing is that of the films of his I've seen. I've liked more than I've hated.
But those ones I've hated so much it makes up for everything.

Like: Night At The Museum 1 & 2(expected them to be massively shit, was pleased they weren't), Keeping The Faith, Dodgeball.

EDIT: Ok, I've just realised, when I wrote this I thought that the above was true. However, having looked through the films of his I know, I've realised the number I hate.

Hate: Something About Mary, Zoolander, Meet The Parents, Meet The Fockers, Mystery Men, Starsky & Hutch, and Madagascar.

Fuck me, what a cunt he is.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 9:35, Reply)

I like Zoolander, and Something about Mary, and Starsky and Hutch, and Madagascar 2.

(Bazongaloid, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 9:38, Reply)

Any film in which they think that making you cringe is funny is fucking shit, to me.
And I simply didn't like Madagascar 2, I thought it was lacking in pretty much every way.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 9:42, Reply)

I thought it was much better than number 1.
But I often find that with Number twos.
(Bazongaloid, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 9:44, Reply)

Hur Hur, poo.
Hmm, I agree with Terminator, X Men, Boondock Saints, Hellboy, Spiderman, and a couple of others I can't think of currently...
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 9:46, Reply)

Most people say The Godfather
I've only seen part 2 once so I can't really remember if it's better than part 1.
(Bazongaloid, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 9:53, Reply)

Aye, but I've not seen either, so I'm not able to judge

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 9:55, Reply)

I've seen the first hour of the Godfather about twenty times but never seen the rest.

( girlinthehole, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 10:01, Reply)

Me and Mrs al watched it last saturday on the telly box
She kept falling asleep and every time she woke up she said "who's that? what happened to that guy?" and I kept having to explain it.

My mother used to do that.
I hate it.
( girlinthehole, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 10:10, Reply)

What?????
You seriously think Terminiator 2 was better? Even with that whiney fucking shit actor kid being all fucking wet all the way through it. Terminator was so much better. Boondock Saints awesome fun film. Boondock Saints 2 was a shit parody of itself. Spiderman 1 - shit Spiderman 2 - Twice as shit. X-men was better than Xmen 2, hellboy better than hellboy 2. Godfather Part 2 was excellent but nothing without the Godfather Part 1.

The only sequel better than the original was Empire Strikes Back.

I know better than you, I'm in to film.
( Peej, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 10:06, Reply)

I've always preferred Star Wars to Empire Strikes Back
The Exorcist III is my favourite of that series, The Dark Knight was far superior to the dull Batman Begins and Ghoulies Go To College was the best of the Ghoulies films.

You are 110% correct about Terminator.

Zoolander is a brilliant film.
Anything that bemuses my parents I consider to be good.

Like Kick Ass. I watched that for the first time last night and fell off my sofa laughing.
(The Luggage is haunted..., Wed 22 Jun 2011, 9:31, Reply)

Kick Ass is fantastic.
Zoolander is shit.

I've never laughed so much at a film.
Well apart from Bruce Almighty, but my tastes have developed since then.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 9:41, Reply)

Anyone who doesn't like Spinal Tap is a fucking idiot.
That said, anyone who quotes from it is an even worse one.

Apart from 'what's wrong with being sexy?' which is acceptable.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 9:31, Reply)

That's my favourite line from This is Spinal Tap

( Peej, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 9:34, Reply)

I've never actually seen it, but I've heard most people say it's fantastic, and several say it's shit
Never anywhere in the middle.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 9:38, Reply)

Because it's not actually played for laughs
you have to a) be able to spot the deadpan jokes and b) know just how ridiculous the world of heavy metal is. Which helps with a).
(Bazongaloid, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 9:40, Reply)

I'm sure I'll watch it at some point

I like the fact that Ozzy Osbourne
actually did have a giant stonehenge backdrop during the late 80s.

And he had a dwarf who dressed up in a devils costume and jumped around on top. He used to nickname the Dwarf Ronnie.

It's funny, because you're talking about films, but you could also be talking about a ladies breasts and vagina.

And when was the last time your head saw hair?

(The Luggage is haunted..., Wed 22 Jun 2011, 9:59, Reply)

Right now
It's covered in short hair, it's just covered in slightly less hair around the crown than it was ten years ago.

This is great, I was only joking when you started quoting Terry Pratchett, but it appears that you actually are a virgin.

Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with that, it doesn't make you some kind of freak or loser.
(Bazongaloid, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 10:01, Reply)

Nice to see you think that, if indeed it were true.
Besides, nothing wrong with quoting Pratchett. He's a far more talented man than I could ever dream of being.
