That fight scene between Inigo and Westley is honestly one of the greatest fencing scenes I’ve ever seen in a movie. Their footwork is actually accurate to traditional fencing, and the politeness even during a fight is undoubtedly something they would have been taught, since proper fencing was mostly a gentleman’s sport.
And the names they say are from real historical swordmasters of which most wrote books about swordfightingtechniques or had fencingschools. It's a nice detail if you know it.
I love too the near misses, the behind your back without looking, but then under your legs parry , the hand change with out looking and so much more. you almost have to run the whole scene in slow motion to catch all the funny subtleties of the combat between 2 polite antagonists..
@@Wesen24 I would like to add the duel between Rob(Liam Neeson) and Archibald(Tim Roth) in "Rob Roy". Exceptionally realistic swordplay. You were convinced they meant to kill each other.
That and "Not a lot of profit in revenge" are my favorite lines from this movie Although I think a special mention should go to: well I'm not saying we should build a summer home here but the trees are actually quite lovely (but quite difficult to throw this 1 randomly into conversation)
I love how most Honest Trailers tend to ridicule a movie more but this movie is so good they couldn’t come up with a lot. It’s basically just praising the movie the entire time. They were probably like “yeah we got nothing. This movie’s perfect.”
Every time they pick a slight fault like "Obvious stunt doubles" they quickly follow it up with "But who cares? This movie is awesome!". They know how to cushion internet backlash!
That's why I like to watch the Honest Trailer of a movie I'm considering seeing. Not only does it give me goofy things to look for, it gives me a heads up on if it's any good or not.
It's kinda hard to ridicule a satire. The whole point of the film was to ridicule films like this in the first place. But, because it's so well done and so subtle, the movie ended up being the best film in the very genre it satirizes. This makes it an immeasurable masterpiece.
I once shoved a copy of this movie into the hands of a co-worker and told him "Watch this with your girlfriend. I won't tell you why. Just curl up together alone and watch it." He texted me a week or so later saying "Dude. Thank you." This movie really is amazing.
"A satire of all those sappy, swashbuckling, medieval love stories that happens to be the best sappy, swashbuckling, medieval love story ever made." I will from now on always use this sentence to explain this movie to people.
Goes well with "The parody on all those Star Trek movies with a womanizing captain and bridge bunny, which happens to be the best Star Trek movie. With a womanizing captain and a bridge bunny."
Stargate SG1 had their 100th and 200th episodes that did similar...especially the 200th episode....of all the good episodes in 10 seasons...the 200th episode is the best written, best acted, best enjoyed episodes of the entire series and sci-fi in general. They really did make fun of actual sci-fi tropes and it turned out to be awesome.
"Oh you mean this gate key." SO many quotes like this are just part of my family's ...vernacular?*, and it never occurs to us that we're quoting the movie! (* I do not think it means what I think it means!) ;-)

I saw the Princess Bride in the movie theater. The place was only half filled but _everyone_ was laughing, kids, teenagers and adults. I shook my head; this was a movie with universal appeal but the advertisers just didn’t know how to sell it. VHS and DVD gave it the audience appreciation it truly deserved. This is true love. You think this happens every day?
I got lucky with that - a local theater did a single screening on Valentine's Day a few years back. I took my girlfriend (now engaged) to see it. Its been my favorite movie since probably 13 or so.
I disagree with him on the 'why', though. Even the one-off lines are absurdly quotable. The whole movie is possibly the single most quotable film ever.
''I rented 'The Princess Bride''' ''Again.'' ''What can I say, I'm a sucker for a happy ending.'' Edit: every single time i find a comment from myself in 2017 i want to cry and slap myself in the back of my head.
True story... saw this when it premiered at the theater with a bunch of friends. When the archbishop said MAWIAGE, one of my friends could not stop laughing for a full 5 minutes and his laughter made everyone else in the theater keep laughing. He almost removed himself f from the theater out of embarrassment, but dang, that was a good time.
A couple of friends and I saw it for the 1st time about a week before one of them got married. one friend was groom, one best man, I was a groom's man. A few moments before the Pastor began speaking the best man gave me 'the look' and I snickered. The groom turned to me and whispered through clinched teeth, "Do NOT say it!" Almost immediately the *bride* said, "Mawwiage!" Even the pastor cracked up. 😅

"It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive."
Here's a tidbit about The Princess Bride: At one point, Inigo is drunk and waiting for Fezzik. A guard steps up and says "Ho, there!" Inigo replies, "I'm not moving. Keep your ho there." EXCEPT... Mandy Patinkin's Spanish accent is so specific that when he says "ho there", it comes out _joder_ - "to fuck". Inigo just told that guard to go fuck himself! I love hidden shit like this. I saw this film during its first theatrical run a couple of times, and each time I had the pleasure of being the only person in the auditorium who cracked up at that line. It was so _unexpected_ and as I said, so specific. There is just no way that Patinkin didn't know what he was doing with that line. I've always wanted to thank him for it.
I LOVE THIS! I'm the only person in my group of friends who speaks Spanish well enough to have caught it, and while I've explained the joke to a couple people, they just can't understand.
They would have nothing against it. The Princess Bride and Monty Python's Holy Grail are the two movies I believe to be perfect. You can even see in this trailer how they couldn't come up with much.
@@thewizard-edits This review is a great example of making an awesome trailer for an awesome movie. The Holy Grail has LOTS of goofy stuff that you could poke fun at. I love the movie, but/because it's incredibly quirky.
I loved it when "Miracle Max" concluded that Wesley wasn't completely dead but only partly dead. He lifted Wesley's arm up to test that and when it plopped to the table Max said "I seen worse." "Have fun storm'in da castle!" - Max I love this movie.
Ahhemm....*all and *mostly "Your friend here is only mostly dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Please, open his mouth. ..... Well, with all dead, there's usually only one thing you can do." What's that? Go through his clothes and look for loose change. Sorry. I annoy myself when I watch this movie. I love it so much.
@@susie9893 Need, not usually. But sometimes you just need a light, sweet movie to ease your mind. This movie will improve anyone's mood, no matter what.
I guess I'm the third kind. Whilst I immensely enjoy this film, Cars 2 is my favorite: the themes about friendship and how being yourself is enough are the best. Plus, cool spy cars with rockets, because.
@@JustWriter Is that sarcasm? I can't tell. I personally really like Cars 2 and I don't understand why people give it such a bad rap, but you never know.
I remember watching this movie under the moon in an outdoor 'theatre' (really just a projector and screen) the first time I visited the U.S. as a kid. It was one of my first experiences here and it left a lasting impression on me. I was too young to remember much but when I rediscovered it brought back some heavy nostalgia. I still distinctly remember the feeling of sharing a blanket with my two cousins and sitting under this huge tree with everyone else in the community park on Sunday nights to watch these movies. The Princess Bride was the first one, then came Betelgeuse and the Goonies, my favorites.
All I can picture is you following an old guy around walmart going "humperdinck, humperdinck, humperdinck, humperdinck!" Probably not what you meant, but it made me laugh anyway....
Personally I would love to see Gilbert Gottfried dub over every line. His dubbing of 50 Shades of Grey is hilarious. Though Peter Falk would be good too.
It isn't a fantasy satire. It's a satire to classical literature (yeah, no joke ... obviously that is lost in translation between book-movie). The fantasy is quite genuine.
of course Princess Bride is satire. Did you think it was serious? It's making fun of campy, soapy fantasy literature. It's full of sass. But it does it so well everyone thinks it's serious. Shrek is a satire of campy, soapy fantasy movies, aka, the old Disney. Shrek is a lot more potty-humour and less sass, but they're actually quite similar. The first two movies were pretty good with the satire, but now the series is a joke, hence the memeification. Also, Shrek was a book first. Fun facts. :3
My dad's teacher learned two things in law school: That "The rise of the middle class" can be used as an answer to any question, and to never get involved with a land war in Asia.
I actually did see it in the theater when I was about 7. "His fingers go to eleven" is probably the best honest trailer joke since "Haydon't Act Again".
Screen junkies you need to do the top three Mel Brooks movies, Robin Hood men in tights, blazing saddles's, and Young Frankenstein! These movies are all amazing and funny and SO Politically Incorrect!
Daniel Burke I don't think they ever will. If you subscribe to SJ Plus in Honest Commentaries they talk about how good comedies are tougher to do cause it's pretty much jokes on top of jokes
One of my all time favorite movies. Clever and funny, with no swearing, and a kid actor who was not irritating, or precocious. Was Westley abusive? (See 1:35) No. My theory is, that Westley only acted this way in order to continue the charade that he was the Dread Pirate Roberts.
I was watching it in the living room when my 11 year old boy crept up to peek at the movie ... And ended up watching everything with me! One of the best mos of our quiet life ❤️
Yeah, man. He is one great composer. I love his music. It would be cool if he could perform for my birthday, but I am sure he would prefer to spend that day with his family.
+Greater History The Legend of Korra is a great show, it tackles a lot more serious and modern issues and is also a much darker show than it's predecessor, but Avatar has the better story, characters, and writing. Sorry, but ATLA > TLOK
+Juan Segura I completely disagree. Yeah TLOK isn't as good as Avatar was, but then again, not a lot of stuff is. It's hard to capture lightning in a bottle again when you already did it once. But even then, TLOK is still an amazing show and a great successor to one of the best TV shows of all time. What didn't help though was Nickelodeon's bullshit treatment of Korra. If they were fully behind it like they were Avatar and actually gave the creators more freedom or resources, it would have been even better.
Frank Hamilton honestly I didn't think that could really happen until my son was born with twelve digits and they had to take the extra one off of each hand. I wish I had a picture but he was in the NICU.
I understood it. It makes sense...the book "The Princess Bride" is written as though the author is just talking about a childhood book of his (which doesn't actually exist)
The actor that plays the 11-fingered villain (Christopher Guest) also plays the guitarist in Spinal Tap who has an amplifier that "goes to 11" and is therefore louder than other amplifiers. Best joke in this trailer !
I was born years after this movie came out and when I watched it, it was because it was referenced in a story I was reading. I no longer remember anything about that story anymore but this movie became a favorite. One of the best comedies ever.
Yeah, and some comedy is stale and outdated a month after it's written, even if it's good. In fact, most jokes lose their humor across time. Only some things stay recognizably funny. Case in point: I'll bet you could read any Shakespeare play and miss at least 50% of the jokes. There are things in there that don't sound like jokes _at all_, but that put people on the floor in his time. Comedy is neither universal nor eternal - it depends completely on shared factors. If those are not present, the joke cannot work.
There a number of reasons. Often comedy is based on surprise so seeing it again reduces the comedy value. Some humor is topical, so it's only funny at the time it was created and/or for the people from that situation. Also, sometimes jokes are funny due to pushing the edge, but years later the edge has been pushed so far, the original joke is passe. I remember watching Office Space in the theater and you could tell who worked in an office and who didn't by who you saw laughing. No one under 18 laughed at all, but most of the adults did. Likewise, when Blazing Saddles made the campfire scene was majorly subversive, now fart jokes are barely funny.
I loved Office Space and I watched it for the first time a couple years ago and I've never worked in an office. I understood the jokes by listening to a lot of people gripe about office work in the '90s.
Just a note...if you love the dialogue in this film, I highly recommend Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. It’s the same screenwriter...William Goldman.
@@IfUfindthisURlost I read the book first, & my reaction was "Meh" at best. Went to see the movie b/c I adored Mandy Patinkin. It's been my fave movie ever since. I don't really trust people who don't like it!
The bit about the book's title is absolutely right. When my dad first said to me: "We should watch The Princess Bride." I responded with "That sounds stupid."
I was turned onto that movie like every other guy on the planet: by my then gf. And I was prepared to find it dumb. Ended up on my list of favorite movies of all time.
I actually was introduced to it by my father. Everyone I've ever dated was introduced to it from me. And my father saw it with his father. So I guess its a "dad" thing in my family
I DID see this in the theater - my first ever proper boyfriend took me on my first ever proper date - to this movie when it was first released - ie at movies, on the big screen, at the theater. will always have a special place in my heart
Lol, I made a deal with mine that I'd go see Full Metal Jacket with him in exchange for us seeing a movie of my choosing at a later date, with no veto option. He complained the whole way there, in line to get tickets & snacks, then while we say waiting for it to start. He was all smiles by the time we left! (Both of those movies are now two of my top three of all time.)
I love how polite everyone was and the fact that Wesley gruesomely described how he was gonna cut off the 6 fingered guy's body parts while lying awkwardly on a bed without changing his tone or facial expressions. I came to watch it, expecting tense actions, gruesome deaths and torture, but no, it was a smooth, fun ride from beginning to end and I giggled at every scene.
He was talking to Humberding not Rugen. And yes that scene was amazing in both movie and book In the book id say it's even better since there he actually passes out for a sec while threatening Hunberding and Humberding still surrenders
I'll keep an eye out and try to drag some ignorant friends (ie - those who haven't seen this movie). But I CAN'T understand why Valentine's day. Although you know, I think maybe this movie put me off romcoms. I'd go to all these romantic COMEDY movies with friends in my 20s and be really annoyed cos wouldn't laugh once. But maybe when your idea of a romantic comedy is The Princess Bride, well.... 😂

I agree. Best movie.
Seconded and Sustained!
The Princess Bride is the perfect example of how to do campiness right.
I loved it when "Miracle Max" concluded that Wesley wasn't completely dead but only partly dead. He lifted Wesley's arm up to test that and when it plopped to the table Max said "I seen worse."
"Have fun storm'in da castle!" - Max
I love this movie.
"OOOO HOOOO look who knows so much"
Ahhemm....*all and *mostly
"Your friend here is only mostly dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Please, open his mouth. ..... Well, with all dead, there's usually only one thing you can do."
What's that?
Go through his clothes and look for loose change.
Sorry. I annoy myself when I watch this movie. I love it so much.
@@maryd86 this is why I eventually gave away my copy - realised I've got no need to ever watch it again; once you know it off by heart....
@@susie9893 Need, not usually. But sometimes you just need a light, sweet movie to ease your mind. This movie will improve anyone's mood, no matter what.
3:10 Best quote in cinema history.
The quote is “No, I am your father.”
There are 2 kinds of people: Those whose favorite movie is Princess Bride, and those who haven't seen Princess Bride.
I guess I'm the third kind. Whilst I immensely enjoy this film, Cars 2 is my favorite: the themes about friendship and how being yourself is enough are the best. Plus, cool spy cars with rockets, because.
@@JustWriter Is that sarcasm? I can't tell. I personally really like Cars 2 and I don't understand why people give it such a bad rap, but you never know.
Yeah!!!
It's just bad. And not in a funny way.
@@KlausKokholmPetersen be gone troll!
I remember watching this movie under the moon in an outdoor 'theatre' (really just a projector and screen) the first time I visited the U.S. as a kid. It was one of my first experiences here and it left a lasting impression on me. I was too young to remember much but when I rediscovered it brought back some heavy nostalgia. I still distinctly remember the feeling of sharing a blanket with my two cousins and sitting under this huge tree with everyone else in the community park on Sunday nights to watch these movies. The Princess Bride was the first one, then came Betelgeuse and the Goonies, my favorites.
That's a lovely memory!
sounds like a special time cool.
This movie fundamentally affected how I talk to people
you are not alone
That's highly inconcievable.
Inconceivable
All I can picture is you following an old guy around walmart going "humperdinck, humperdinck, humperdinck, humperdinck!" Probably not what you meant, but it made me laugh anyway....
I doubt it puts a damper on your relationships
Who else wants to see The Princess Bride with Peter Falk dubbed over every character? Would be epic.
Personally I would love to see Gilbert Gottfried dub over every line. His dubbing of 50 Shades of Grey is hilarious. Though Peter Falk would be good too.
Not exactly what you are looking for, but look for Princess Bride Home Movie.
yeah...now I would like to see an honest trailer for Mel Brook's Robin Hood Men with the tights
That movie was made to make fun of Robin Hood prince of thieves
Nightone so what he can't make fun of a parody?
That movie is amazing!
I'd rather see spaceballs get an honest trailer
Erisa Desu OMG yes! I love that movie! It's funny and there are some amazing songs :D
This movie is the reason that I always ask you to say "Have fun storming the castle!".
Oh, you did! Thanks so much!
lol! I saw your comment right before he said it
It was Screen Junkies way of saying to you, "As you wish".
Them Ustar Dprin Ce hahaha
“His fingers go to eleven” holy crap how did I not make that joke before.
yeah...why is that ...it was right there the whole time
to be honest i never made the connection either until just now
Omigosh...just got it...great observation!
Whoever thought of that for the trailer deserves a raise!
Ikr? I'm dying here! 🤣
Yes! I came here to say the same. Genius! Best part of the video! Haha
although princess bride is meant to be a satire, it feels like a true fantasy but with strong characters.
I agree, I really like all the characters in this movie. Serious or not.
It isn't a fantasy satire. It's a satire to classical literature (yeah, no joke ... obviously that is lost in translation between book-movie). The fantasy is quite genuine.
you'll never see a movie like this emerge out of hollywood's lazy ass these days , unless it's a crappy remake
of course Princess Bride is satire. Did you think it was serious? It's making fun of campy, soapy fantasy literature. It's full of sass. But it does it so well everyone thinks it's serious. Shrek is a satire of campy, soapy fantasy movies, aka, the old Disney. Shrek is a lot more potty-humour and less sass, but they're actually quite similar. The first two movies were pretty good with the satire, but now the series is a joke, hence the memeification. Also, Shrek was a book first. Fun facts. :3
Well this movie isn't love or life soo I guess your right
My dad's teacher learned two things in law school: That "The rise of the middle class" can be used as an answer to any question, and to never get involved with a land war in Asia.
Half of the class laughed, the other half went home to watch The Princess Bride.
BUT ONLY SLIHHTLY LESS WELL KNOWN: NEVER GO IN AGAINST A CECELIAN (sp?) WHEN DEATH IS ON THE LINE!

Lula yep
"Have fun storming the castle," that's a line that I've used for years. This really is a movie you just can't get out of your head.
This would be an excellent trailer except you inexplicably left out Billie Crystal and Carol Kane.
Good point! I've quoted Miracle Max a number of times: "Have fun stormin' the castle!"
"BOOOOOOOO" (that's a different person but still works)
It’s inconceivable! It would take a miracle to forget about Miracle Max, but they had that in the movie and this honest trailer too apparently!
@@wildman2012 and that's my parents' favorite part of the movie
I love Carol Kane's whole line- "I'm not a witch- I'm your wife, and I'm not sure I want to be that anymore!"

thank you 😂😂
“Really polite action.” I think that’s why I love this movie so much.

that “every boy is guaranteed to love and a title every boy is guaranteed to hate” made me just be like “FACTS!”

I actually did see it in the theater when I was about 7. "His fingers go to eleven" is probably the best honest trailer joke since "Haydon't Act Again".
Screen junkies you need to do the top three Mel Brooks movies, Robin Hood men in tights, blazing saddles's, and Young Frankenstein! These movies are all amazing and funny and SO Politically Incorrect!
hell yeah! Blazing Saddles is one of the best movies of all time, even still.
Daniel Burke I don't think they ever will. If you subscribe to SJ Plus in Honest Commentaries they talk about how good comedies are tougher to do cause it's pretty much jokes on top of jokes
You know a movie's great when Honest Trailers praises it instead of poking delicious fun at it. :D
Is that the guy that says. . .
"You keep saying that word, I don't think it means what you think it means"?
Jace Altair inconceivable!
One of my all time favorite movies. Clever and funny, with no swearing, and a kid actor who was not irritating, or precocious.
Was Westley abusive? (See 1:35)
No.
My theory is, that Westley only acted this way in order to continue the charade that he was the Dread Pirate Roberts.
abuse in service of a facade (which he didn't have to keep up at that point) is abuse.
@@scottmatheson3346 i mean he didn't actually hit her. Nor do i think he actually intended to ever hit her.
So, not abusive
I believe he was deeply hurt that she got engaged to another men.
I swear this is the last Honest Trailer I'm watching tonight.
Easier said than done.
Inconceivable!
Well? I'm waiting!
some time later....
Was it the last you watched that night?
I had to blackmail and threaten my teenage daughter to watch this with me. It's now one of her favorites.
You're welcome.
Noomwa Lis wait a minute
I did the same to my teen boy. #sorrynotsorry
Not the father we deserve, but the one we need
Proof that blackmail can be a good thing?
I was watching it in the living room when my 11 year old boy crept up to peek at the movie ... And ended up watching everything with me! One of the best mos of our quiet life ❤️
I kinda want to see an Honest Trailers for 'Blazing Saddles' now.

hazza3 yes!
PPPPPLLLLLLLEEEEEEEAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEE?
dude, the cheesy music is amazing. written by Mark Knopfler.
Really?! Did not know that; did not know this movie could be even more awesome.
I know right? I learned it a couple months ago from looking at Dire Straits on the itunes store.
Yeah, the music works, but having the score played by a live orchestra would help a ton.
Oh, MIDI music files... Really takes me back...
Yeah, man. He is one great composer. I love his music. It would be cool if he could perform for my birthday, but I am sure he would prefer to spend that day with his family.
I do not think the word means what you think it means.

Honest Trailer: Avatar The Last Airbender. It's one of the greatest shows of all time.
+Greater History The Legend of Korra is a great show, it tackles a lot more serious and modern issues and is also a much darker show than it's predecessor, but Avatar has the better story, characters, and writing. Sorry, but ATLA > TLOK
I'd like to see them do Lilo & Stitch. Just because I saw that it was on TV a few days ago.
+Juan Segura I completely disagree. Yeah TLOK isn't as good as Avatar was, but then again, not a lot of stuff is. It's hard to capture lightning in a bottle again when you already did it once. But even then, TLOK is still an amazing show and a great successor to one of the best TV shows of all time. What didn't help though was Nickelodeon's bullshit treatment of Korra. If they were fully behind it like they were Avatar and actually gave the creators more freedom or resources, it would have been even better.
YES! both were amazing but Korra was better
MetallicaRules Heh I was gonna request that... Better yet, a dual trailer for both series at once! I like both equally for different reasons x3
HIS FINGERS GO TO ELEVEN!!
Frank Hamilton honestly I didn't think that could really happen until my son was born with twelve digits and they had to take the extra one off of each hand. I wish I had a picture but he was in the NICU.
Snowwulf78 I was more amused by the Spinal Tap/Christoper Guest reference. But wow 12 fingers huh? Wild.
It's polydactyly, an uncommon genetic disorder.
Polydactyly, eh? Should occur quite a bit in the family.
only Frank and i got the Spinal Tap reference?!
Please tell me Shrek was among the top choices.
Shrek is love, Shrek is life
Does the above trailer sound like dissing to you? If a movie's good, they say so.
Can they dissin the sequels?
"His fingers go to eleven!" Perfect, never noticed that This Is Spinal Tap reference before!! Good job
And both movies directed by Rob Reiner.
Say "You're not my brother! You're just a pet who grew legs!"
MFW I get the reference.

Nice way to throw a Spinal Tap reference into the mix😋
The world's Grampiest Grampa. Accurate.
0:33 i have no idea of what he said but at the end i was like "....bookception?"
I understood it. It makes sense...the book "The Princess Bride" is written as though the author is just talking about a childhood book of his (which doesn't actually exist)
Toussaint Gervais this sound much easier, even basic.
No idea how it became that confusing.

Say: Once I was a fan , now I'm an air conditioner..
I saw this in the theater - and it CHANGED MY ENTIRE LIFE.
His fingers go to ELEVEN
I didn't get that, what does it mean?
Wiib0 Google "go to eleven". Basically, it's a popular reference, and the villain has eleven fingers.
The actor that plays the 11-fingered villain (Christopher Guest) also plays the guitarist in Spinal Tap who has an amplifier that "goes to 11" and is therefore louder than other amplifiers. Best joke in this trailer !
Also the same director
Thanks guys, I googled the clip. I'll definitely check out the movie.
I was born years after this movie came out and when I watched it, it was because it was referenced in a story I was reading. I no longer remember anything about that story anymore but this movie became a favorite. One of the best comedies ever.
this movie is funny even today
Why would you even say that? Good comedy is universal. Even The Odyssey has some bits that are funny across millennia and languages.
DavidtheWavid im saying that some movies loose their charm and humour with time. This is not the case
Yeah, and some comedy is stale and outdated a month after it's written, even if it's good. In fact, most jokes lose their humor across time. Only some things stay recognizably funny. Case in point: I'll bet you could read any Shakespeare play and miss at least 50% of the jokes. There are things in there that don't sound like jokes _at all_, but that put people on the floor in his time. Comedy is neither universal nor eternal - it depends completely on shared factors. If those are not present, the joke cannot work.
There a number of reasons. Often comedy is based on surprise so seeing it again reduces the comedy value. Some humor is topical, so it's only funny at the time it was created and/or for the people from that situation. Also, sometimes jokes are funny due to pushing the edge, but years later the edge has been pushed so far, the original joke is passe.
I remember watching Office Space in the theater and you could tell who worked in an office and who didn't by who you saw laughing. No one under 18 laughed at all, but most of the adults did. Likewise, when Blazing Saddles made the campfire scene was majorly subversive, now fart jokes are barely funny.
I loved Office Space and I watched it for the first time a couple years ago and I've never worked in an office. I understood the jokes by listening to a lot of people gripe about office work in the '90s.
I’ve thought about it a lot and I think this is the closest to a perfect movie that exists.
“His fingers go to eleven.” Excellent line. 👏👏👏
No reference to Billy Crystal?....Inconceivable
you keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.
You would like to think that wouldn't you?!
I'm surprised they never mentioned Andre the Giant.

I highly recommend Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

@@wakelamp Strangely enough, after loving the film for years, I decided to read The Princess Bride book and was very disappointed.
@@IfUfindthisURlost I read the book first, & my reaction was "Meh" at best. Went to see the movie b/c I adored Mandy Patinkin. It's been my fave movie ever since. I don't really trust people who don't like it!
The bit about the book's title is absolutely right. When my dad first said to me: "We should watch The Princess Bride." I responded with "That sounds stupid."
I was turned onto that movie like every other guy on the planet: by my then gf. And I was prepared to find it dumb. Ended up on my list of favorite movies of all time.
one of the few movies i quote from on a frequent basis
lol pretty sure I introduced it to my gf, now wife, and it's one of my favorite movies too
My older sister made me watch it when I was a kid, I was not excited based on the title lol. Now we still quote it all the time.
@@justincooper2631 i have a cousin who can quite literally quote this movie from memory
I actually was introduced to it by my father. Everyone I've ever dated was introduced to it from me. And my father saw it with his father. So I guess its a "dad" thing in my family
I DID see this in the theater - my first ever proper boyfriend took me on my first ever proper date - to this movie when it was first released - ie at movies, on the big screen, at the theater. will always have a special place in my heart
Lol, I made a deal with mine that I'd go see Full Metal Jacket with him in exchange for us seeing a movie of my choosing at a later date, with no veto option. He complained the whole way there, in line to get tickets & snacks, then while we say waiting for it to start. He was all smiles by the time we left!
(Both of those movies are now two of my top three of all time.)
I love how polite everyone was and the fact that Wesley gruesomely described how he was gonna cut off the 6 fingered guy's body parts while lying awkwardly on a bed without changing his tone or facial expressions.
I came to watch it, expecting tense actions, gruesome deaths and torture, but no, it was a smooth, fun ride from beginning to end and I giggled at every scene.
He was talking to Humberding not Rugen.
And yes that scene was amazing in both movie and book
In the book id say it's even better since there he actually passes out for a sec while threatening Hunberding and Humberding still surrenders
You didn't star the grumpy grandpa as "Old Columbo". How dare you.
