    When Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin) saw the movie for the first time, he was so moved that he started crying at the end. His wife was sitting next to him and she asked why he was crying. He told her that every actor dreams about being in a special timeless movie that will be loved in any era, but most never get the chance. Until he saw the completed movie, he hadn't realized that "The Princess Bride" was such a movie and he realized that he had played the role of a lifetime.

    After watching this for over 30 years, and thousands of times, one tidbit that I never put together until I started watching reaction videos and reading comments: the Revenge business ... and the pirate ship Revenge. If Inigo becomes the dread pirate Roberts he will still be in the Revenge business🤯

    Andre the giant was the 1st WWE hall of Famer and had acromegaly which literally gave him his giant size
    He was one of the gentlest people ever
    He passed away from congestive heart failure in 1993 at only 46 years old

    You surely know your actors... A few fun facts: Andre (RIP) had a back pain so severe, they had to use a replacement or wires for ANY lifting scenes he had. When Robin Wright was cold, Andre put his palm over her head to make her warm. Andre was not an actor, but still everyone loved him on set. While filming the fire swamp scene, the book author was present, but still ruined a take because he didn't realize that the dress was SUPPOSED to catch fire, and he screamed during the take. I'm sure there are many more, but for now that's all I could think of. Great reaction.

    Goldman asked his two young daughters what kind of story they would like him to write for them. One said a story about a Princess, the other wanted a story about a Bride. In high school in the 70s, we were assigned William Goldman's first novel, "The Temple of Gold" - it's a great read, with heart and loss. Other William Goldman screenplays that are worthy of watching: "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" - "Marathon Man" - "All the President's Men"... (It's also rumored that Goldman helped Ben Affleck and Matt Damon with their gem, "Good Will Hunting", another MUST watch.)

    The thing to realise is that, we are seeing the story through the grandson's imagination and therefore it is not an adult viewpoint we are seeing. Hence the way everyone is portrayed, the way they speak/sound, their actions etc.. are from the grandson's understanding of what he is listening to. A top 20 movie as everything just gels together so well, it's delightful. There are no big explosions, no swearing, no car chases at all. No megastars either.

Rob Reiner, the director, and all the actors had as much dedication to the book as they did to the movie AND to EACH OTHER. They all related how much fun they had while making this forever movie. Locations were in mid- to northern England. Off-screen shenanigans are revealed. Talk of cast reunions is included as well.

    Mark Knopfler is one of the best guitarists and songwriters ever. Another great soundtrack of his is for the comedy called Local Hero.
    Rob Reiner played Archie’s son in law in All in the Family. He’s directed many movies. His father was Carl Reiner who was also a comedic actor and director. In the 50s and 60s he wrote for the Dick Van Dyke show and Sid Cesar’s Show of Shows. He also worked with Mel Brooks early in his career and directed many movies throughout the 70s and 80s.
    Another great Rob Reiner comedy with Christopher Guest is This is Spinal Tap. Definitely worth watching.

I love this film so much - not just the ones you mentioned, but he also choreographed for the Errol Flynn-Basil Rathbone duels (I highly rec "Captain Blood" 1935 & the 1938 "Adventures of Robin Hood").
    But you said 'He has a very punch-able face" and it immediately made me think of my favorite tv show of all time, which is the 2008 "Leverage" (Timothy Hutton, Gina Bellman - done by Dean Devlin). If you have never seen this show (5 seasons, 77 episodes) -- YOU GUYS NEED TO WATCH IT! It's so good: the quality, the characterization & continuity, the humor, the drama, everything... If you decided to watch it (even on your own, though I'll never not welcome episode reaction vids), I HIGHLY ADVISE you to get the dvds out from your library as they have the correct order of episodes, which unfortunately streaming sites don't (even Electric Now has them mixed up for seasons). Anyway, this was a great reaction!

    The pop singer Engelbert Humperdinck was born Arnold George Dorsey; the original Engelbert Humperdinck (1864-1921) was a German opera composer, most famous for the opera "Hänsel und Gretel".
    He was given the stage name of Engelbert Humperdinck by his management company; the company liked to rename their clients after famous individuals, real or fictious, from before the 20th century. Other clients included Tom Jones (born Thomas Jones Woodward) semi-named after the title character in a risqué novel published in 1749 and written by Henry Fielding, and Gilbert O'Sullivan (born Raymond Edward O'Sullivan) semi-named after the Victorian partnership of dramatist W S Gilbert and composer Arthur Sullivan (Gilbert & Sullivan are responsible for such precious operettas as "The Mikado", "HMS Pinafore", and "The Pirates of Penzance").
