Every movie we see #24: The Princess Bride is even more wonderful than we remember
Movie #23: Relasyon. Ishmael Bernal was a feminist. Movie #24: The Notebook, which we had never seen before. It’s sappy, but good sappy, and Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams make it work. Their fans are still lighting candles for their reunion, and if that doesn’t work they may resort to human sacrifice.

The other night we were feeling a little melancholy for no good reason, and when you’re melancholy for no good reason, you have two options. One, you could wallow in melancholia and listen to Tom Waits growling about bad livers and broken hearts and pianos that have been drinking. Two, you could watch movies that make you happy. We picked the second option and put on The Princess Bride.
It’s absolutely delightful. We hadn’t seen it in a long, long time, but we could still recite along with our favorite lines.
Inconceivable!
My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father, prepare to die.
A battle of wits…to the death.
I’m not left-handed.
It worked.

I love this movie!! My siblings and I (all 7 of us) would each take a character and say the lines every time we watched it. My daughter will get to know this movie really soon.
