The Princess Bride!!!!

[MrZoom]

Okay, this awesome movie was mentioned in the girls' movie thread and I didn't want it to get buried there so that guys who are fans of the movie (like me) would miss it.

So I'm starting a new thread.

What are your favorite lines from The Princess Bride?

For me it has to be:

Vizzini: He didn't fall? Inconceivable!

Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

 

[Diane_Windsor]

Here are some of my favorites:


Inigo Montoya: Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
Count Rugen: Stop saying that!

*************

Westley: As you wish.

***************

Count Rugen: [admiring his torture contraption] Beautiful isn't it? It took me half a lifetime to invent it. I'm sure you've discovered my deep and abiding interest in pain. Presently I'm writing the definitive work on the subject, so I want you to be totally honest with me on how the machine makes you feel. This being our first try, I'll use the lowest setting.
[Count Rugen activates the water powered torture machine. Wesley writhes in great pain]
Count Rugen: [calmly] As you know, the concept of the suction pump is centuries old. Really that's all this is except that instead of sucking water, I'm sucking life. I've just sucked one year of your life away. I might one day go as high as five, but I really don't know what that would do to you. So, let's just start with what we have. What did this do to you? Tell me. And remember, this is for posterity so be honest. How do you feel?
[Wesley cries and moans in pain]
Count Rugen: Interesting.

******************

Buttercup: We'll never succeed. We may as well die here.
Westley: No, no. We have already succeeded. I mean, what are the three terrors of the Fire Swamp? One, the flame spurt - no problem. There's a popping sound preceding each; we can avoid that. Two, the lightning sand, which you were clever enough to discover what that looks like, so in the future we can avoid that too.
Buttercup: Westley, what about the R.O.U.S.'s?
Westley: Rodents Of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist.
[Immediately, an R.O.U.S. attacks him]

Don't forget he said that right after seeing one
(Is it sad I know that off the top of my head? )

Tee-hee I've never had a thread started because of a post I made

You really don't want me to recite all my favorite lines, 'cuz I'll just do the whole movie But some of my favorites are:

The Grandson: A book?
The Grandfather: That's right. When I was your age, television was called books. And this is a special book. It was the book my father used to read to me when I was sick, and I used to read it to your father. And today I'm gonna read it to you.
The Grandson: Has it got any sports in it?
The Grandfather: Are you kidding? Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles...
The Grandson: Doesn't sound too bad. I'll try to stay awake.
The Grandfather: Oh, well, thank you very much, very nice of you. Your vote of confidence is overwhelming.

Westley: Who are you? Are we enemies? Why am I on this wall? Where is Buttercup?
Inigo Montoya: Let me 'splain.
[pause]
Inigo Montoya: No, there is too much. Let me sum up. Buttercup is marry' Humperdinck in a little less than half an hour. So all we have to do is get in, break up the wedding, steal the princess, make our escape... after I kill Count Rugen.
Westley: That doesn't leave much time for dilly-dallying.
Fezzik: You just wiggled your finger. That's wonderful.
Westley: I've always been a quick healer. What are our liabilities?
Inigo Montoya: There is but one working castle gate, and... and it is guarded by 60 men.
Westley: And our assets?
Inigo Montoya: Your brains, Fezzik's strength, my steel.


And one of my favorite lines ever in the history of movies:
Westley: Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while.

I LOVE The Princess Bride!

When my husband and I stand together at the door of our house, waving as friends drive away, we like to say:

One of us: "Have fun storming the castle, boys!"
The other: "Do you think they'll make it?"
The first: "It'd take a miracle!"

I also find it amusing to shout, "I'm not a witch; I'm your wife!!!! And I'm not even sure I want to be that anymooooore!"

 

[Billnew]

This has the following like "Monty Python, the Holy Grail" and Rocky horror picture show. "Toast"

"You seem like a decent fellow, I hate to kill you."
"You seem like a decent fellow, I hate to die."

"I'm not left handed."
"I'm not left handed either."

"To the death!"
"No. To the pain."
"I don't think I am familiar with that phrase."

 

[MrZoom]

Vizzini: You've committed one of the classic blunders! The most famous of which is, never get involved in a land war in Asia! But only slightly less known is this, never go in against a Sicilian when DEATH is on the line! Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ..... [falls over dead]

Next time I have to put on a name tag, I am so putting that.

I love this movie.

 

[pgp_protector]

This was just on Stars a few days ago, now it's on my Tivo
(And Yes he saw the giant Rats Before he said "Rodents Of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist. ")

 

[Strider1002]

"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

That will always be my favorite. It's applicable in many situations...

 

[CrystalBrooke]

My husband LOVES this movie..I can sit through it, but I don't find it as entertaining as he does. The wedding scene is my favorite part, I always laugh til my stomach hurts

"Mawwiage. Mawwiage is what bwings us togetha today"
