i’ve been meaning to watch this for the loooongest time the wait was so worth it

Iris

Love this movie, but I didn't notice till watching it here that the grandfather is Columbo!!! I love Peter Falk!

captain_mitchy

Very good movie that doesn't get enough attention from reactors.

KimM

Not sure you recognized Billy Crystal in this but thinking you would really enjoy City Slickers if you have never seen that.

Etta Eskridge

Franklin

Franklin

Omg, Yes!!

One thing I love about this movie, and gets me emotional now knowing it as an adult - the actor who plays Inigo Montoya had lost his father recently to cancer, so when he was shooting the scene with the six fingered man, it was very emotional for him. He envisioned the man as his father's cancer, as though he was fighting it. It was cathartic for him. And to this day, he loves that people associate him with this movie.

oh wait i forgot, "the princess bride" by s morgenstern is not a real book. if that wasn't clear.

Eliza

"the princess bride" by william goldman is a book about how "the princess bride" by s morgenstern is in fact a real book, but the book is nothing like the princess bride story his father would read to him when he was a kid, because his father changed the book as he read because "the princess bride" by s morgenstern is a very, very weird and somewhat uninteresting book. the movie "the princess bride" directed by rob reiner is the embellished story of s morgenstern's "the princess bride" the dad tells to the sick kid in "the princess bride" by william goldman. does that clear things up?

Eliza

I loved this reaction and now I wish you’d watch Galavant 💛

Yvette

Um....yeah? This is a pretty broadly beloved movie, so I'm not sure I understand the question.

Rhiannon

Yes!! Second this!

Rhiannon

HELLO! MY NAME IS INIGO MONTOYA. YOU KILLED MY FATHER. PREPARE TO DIE! –I used to run around shouting that on a loop lmao

melskmelsk

Yes! Absolute legend. There's a fencing expert that did a move-by-move breakdown of the scene on youtube. It got too technical for me to get it, but she remarked that it's almost like flirting, and I love that!

Lola Lirola

Such good thoughts here! Good luck with ur renovations. And something Frank said made me think about buttercup differently. He mentioned her getting like picked up and moved around a lot. And I’m realizing her lack of agency I think is more intentional than I ever realized. Especially when you think about her romance with Westley starting with her basically bossing him around haha. And then for the rest of the time her agency is stolen by Humperdink. The giving of power and trust vs the taking of power. Westley is happy to be bossed around and she’s happy to let him pick her up and toss her around the fire swamp haha. Compared to Humperdink dragging her down a hall.

If you haven’t seen A Knight’s Tale, it’s a fun one too :)

Afterlife

As soon as the fencing started I was grinning ear-to-ear. It’s a popular scene for a reason; the choreography was done by Bob Anderson, the same artist who choreographed Lord of the Rings, Zorro, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars, and several other recognizable movies. He’s a legend.

I know “majority wins”, but people…The Princess Bride? REALLY?

Shaun Beyond

Small note that this movie has a truly excellent translation in Spanish (how I watched it when I was a kid)! In my opinion, the scene where they rhyme on the boat is even better in Spanish, and instead of the peanut line, when Vizzini gets angry Fezzick rhymes "tu furor es un misterio" (your fury is inexplicable), and I still quote that line so often with friends!

Lola Lirola

I know of someone who tried to bribe their pastor to start their wedding like that! 😂

Lola Lirola

I watched this movie when it came out, and it became an instant classic! I tsk a little at the fact that the Princess is quite passive and underdeveloped, but Íñigo Montoya more than makes up for it. I love the wit, the adventure, the camaraderie... And the music participating in all of it! But more than that, can I just say how lovely this channel is and how glad I am you're back? I'm going through renovations, and it's disaster after disaster, my contractor is trying to swindle me with hidden costs after the fact, my neighbor complains about the noise, I'm having to micromanage everything and stop 4 builders from screwing things up as they go, I go to bed exhausted, frustrated and physically aching, and I don't even have enough brain bandwidth to comment anything intelligent, but I do know this: Yesterday I realized I fully notice the difference between this place and others, in that watching other channels with male reactors I find myself clenching much of the way, bracing against inevitable quips about how they are "pleasantly surprised the chick flick is not bad!" or how "it's not something I would have ever chosen to watch, but I actually enjoyed it!" or trying to overact like "you go girl!" for praise... And I used to think that's as good as it got. But here I can just let go and relax and enjoy whatever you're watching. I just realized my shoulders exhaled, you know? Like I was gonna be fine, and I didn't have to be on guard. Just enjoy a movie in good company. And that's quite priceless, honestly.

Lola Lirola

Watch a new Frank video? As you wish!

Noct

I loved this reaction! This movie absolutely takes notes from Monty Python, and likely lent some inspiration to “Shrek.” I remember seeing this when it first came out, in the movie theater, at age 9. I was with my mom and 12-yr-old brother. We were all delighted as we watched- core memory for sure. Oh, and “Desperado’ is great!! Have you seen “El Mariachi” from 1992? It’s the main character’s origin story, not played by Antonio Banderas, but a really good film. Its writer/director Robert Rodriguez’s debut film.

Philly Therapist

the part with the shrieking eels scared the shit outta me when I was little.. still kinda does 🤷

SB

...excuse me, WHAT

SB

ohhh one of my all-time favorites, along with Princess Bride 🙃 I actually just bought a little figurine of Ludo❤️

SB

Pure comfort movie. Feel like I could quote it from start to finish. I feel like most revenge plots end with a sense of “forgive and move on” and I just LOVE that this one ends with actual revenge. It just feels weirdly refreshing and human.

Broody Gaming

For me, the two best sword fight sequences in film are this movie and "The Court Jester".

Priscilla Scarpaci

"mawwiage" always kills me 🤣

kweenie

Aww, this was fun! It's been a few years. I don't remember the first time I watched this. I was just a kid when it came out, so it was probably a couple of years later on VHS. Funny side note: I still remember like 80% of the dialogue and when Vizzini was yelling at Fezzik right after they kidnapped Buttercup, I was yelling along with him: “And youuu! Friendless, brainless, hopeless, helpless! Do you want me to send you back to where you were? Unemployed in Greeeenland?” And my roommate came upstairs and asked why I was yelling. 🤣💀

Ellen Noir

this movie has such strong emotional ties for me. i love this film😫

Zaria Middleton

This was so fun to revisit with you! I need you to react to Labyrinth (w/ David Bowie) soooo badly.

Amanda Hill

I encourage anyone watching this to read the book, it's 10x better than even this amazing movie

anna w

Made my night!

Bethany that's me

32:17 they came from the other side. 😏

Ellen Noir

This was one of my favorite books when I was a kid! I’m so excited to watch your reaction! A little fun fact: Similar to how the movie is just a story being read to the grandson, the book is the main author, William Goldman, retelling a story by a different “worse” author, Morgenstern. Goldman constantly poked fun at Morgenstern for making paragraphs too long and making scenes too confusing and boring. The comments function similarly to how the grandpa will comment on stuff and pull us back to reality. Only come to find out, Morgenstern is actually Goldman all along and the previous story was actually a first draft. It blew my mind when I first found that out lol
