Week 1 - The Princess Bride

"The Princess Bride" is the 1987 comedy/ action -adventure film by Rob Reiner that features Cary Elwes as Westley, our hero and the true love of Buttercup, played by Robin Wright Penn. The movie is known for a few of its quotes, such as "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." and "Inconceivable." 

I had seen the movie on a couple of occasions, but Gretchen and Erin had not. I enjoyed the movie again, and I remembered much of it from before. The women, on the other hand, didn't "get it." In Erin's words, it wasn't that they disliked the film, rather they just didn't see what the big deal about it was. With just about everyone saying what a great movie it was and how it was a "classic," it didn't live up to the hype for Gretchen and Erin.

It's a classic in my mind.
