The Princess Bride (1987)

It doesn't get any better
This film SHOULD be the "Wizard of Oz" of our time. It is a national treasure, and should be treated as such. Always shown once a year at the same time, families gathering around the television at the same time with popcorn all around, young ones sitting on their parents laps.

But it won't happen. VCRs and DVDs have ended those wonderful times. I can remember impatiently waiting for the 'Charlie Brown' holiday broadcast, Santa Claus is coming to town, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, etc, where you HAD to be there and tune in or you missed it for a whole year.

Video did not only kill the radio star, it killed the annual family viewing of classics.

sacrilege! I hate this movie!
My secret confession, I have always hated this movie! Everyone I know raves about this movie and, of course, quotes it endlessly. Recently, I tried sitting through it again just to see if there was something I missed years ago. No.... I still hate it! The cheesy film score makes my teeth grit everytime i hear it. The stupid fake sets, the hammy accents, argh! Yes, I know its supposed to be "charming" and "innocent" fun. Saying you hate it is equivalent to saying you are an atheist. But I do and apparently always will. Ahhh, I fell better already....
