FILM OF THE WEEK: THE PRINCESS BRIDE (1987)

Rob Reiner's cult classic is probably the best of the glut of fantasy films to spill out in the mid-to-late-80s (Legend (1984), Ladyhawke (1985), Labyrinth (1986), Willow (1988)) its also uproariously funny with an all-star cast, a screenplay filled with memorable quotes ("Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.") and its share of high-adventure and romance. Although the still good Shrek (2000) may have slightly taken some of the film's unique place in style, this is still a superior picture.
