There are too many great lines from that film.

As great as the movie is--and it is great--I enjoyed reading the book (written by the noted screenwriter and novelist William Goldman) even more. Goldman wrote the book almost 15 years before he adapted it for the big screen.

I'm sure you're right. The book is always better.

Now I agree that the book was fantastic.......... :dancing: :woot:

But the movie was a fabulous adaptation. Faithful for the most part. but I loved the rich, high budget visuals, of the film. It was the most viewed film at my house for several years when it came out.

But I have read the book only once...a reread is in order once I can find the time. IMO Princess Bride, both novel and movie, are the best of William Goldman's work.

I probably agree. But his body of work is pretty mindboggling.

Among his other screenplays: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, All The President's Men, Misery, The Year of the Comet, Harper, The Great Waldo Pepper, The Stepford Wives, Maverick, Mr. Horn, Marathon Man.

Marathon Man was probably his most popular novel, but he wrote a number of other very entertaining page-turning books.

He has a tremendous list to his credit and I enjoyed most of them. But for me, Princess Bride was a gem start to finish. I prefer a great comedic romance to just about anything else so I am not unbiased though no one giving a subjective opinion can be. ;).
