Princess Bride...Chick Flick or Not?

[Shotgun 1]

I'm not going to vote because I don't know. I've seen so many people list this as one of their favorite movies, but I just don't get it. Maybe there is something wrong with me . . .

I got bought this for my birthday last year.

It's also one of the most quotable films of all time!

too tired to read the whole thread but it's an everybody movie. ITS A CLASSIC FFS!

Sex with sith is like sex with a stripper. A lot of flashing lights and waving of glowing sabers, but in the end you end up with something dark and wrinkely.

Being a real man is a combination of being a badass and respecting women. The Princess Bride will be an influence to teach my sons how to do both.

There is a theory that at the core of any well written story are lessons about human behavior. I think it's great when parents do what you're taking about rather than just plopping their kids in front of a big screen and using it as an electric babysitter.

Much the same can be said of the "Twilight" series, however . . . those films do NOT appeal to 90% of males.

Yeah. When did vampires become such wimps? Remember Dracula? He'd kidnap a guy (who happened to be an attorney), put him on a boat, kill everyone on the boat EXCEPT the attorney - just so he could drive him insane.

Now there are vampires who are so sweet and kind and heroic. Awwwwww.. Little cuddly wuddly cutie patootie vampires. I mean, what the hell???

I believe the "goth" clique pretty much destroyed that. I don't get it. . ."i'm so moody. Guess I better dress up like Count Chocula!"

It's defensible though as Westley is portraying the Dread Pirate Roberts at the time. He's only pretending to be evil.

Inconceivable!

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



Inconceivable Clicky!

Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.

If i ever do get married this is a must have at my wedding. If my wife to be can't agree to it, she clearly isn't the one for me.

Both my brother and I love the outdoors so much that we both had outdoor weddings, though his was more lavish. Out in the Pacific side mountains of California near Monterey, I was looking out from the estate the wedding was at, I saw a pair of hills that clearly looked like a pair of giant boobs.

There aren't any hipster glitter vampires moping around in The Princess Bride...maybe that's why TPB is a quality time tested movie and Twilight is crap.

I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

Ski: if you are THAT uncomfortable with a chick flick, get yourself uncloseted and enjoy the movie.

This.

Ski...just come on out now. It's okay.

The movie is hilarious.

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!
