In Defense of The Princess Bride

Princess Bride is a fantastic movie, about pirates and sword fights. I’ve heard a few people say they weren’t keen on watching it because it has a girly title, which always makes me a little sad.

Just so you know: This movie isn’t girly. IT’S AWESOME. With fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles… but mostly fencing and fighting. And pirates!

And a snazzy new DVD edition cover:

Gotta love ambigrams.

“Princess Bride” and “The Neverending Story” are both brilliant fantasy movies, but I keep hearing people say they preferred the books. I’m really going to need to pick up the books some time and find out for myself.
