Poll question: Decisions decisions... Princess Bride or The Right Stuff?

Bravo or AMC?

[Pierre.Suave]

1. Easy decision

Princess Bride

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear pokerfan!

I may be the lone voice, but I say watch "The Right Stuff"!

Especially if you haven't seen it!

It is an amazing, factual movie!

I give it my highest recommendation...

You won't be sorry!

[pokerfan]

3. Seen them both

but I know TPB by heart (even read the book years before they decided to make it into a film) so TRS it is.

4. The Right Stuff

I'm a big admirer of the Original Seven. Though I felt the book/movie treatment of Gus Grissom was a bit unfair.

5. Very unfair

Check wiki if you have questions...

Best part of the movie was Glenn backing up his wife:

John Glenn: Annie, listen to me, OK? You listening? If you don't want the Vice President or the TV networks or anybody else to come into the house, then that's it, as far as I'm concerned. They are NOT coming in, and I will back you all the way, a hundred percent on this. And you tell them that, OK? I don't want Johnson or any of the rest of them to set as much as one TOE inside our house.
Annie Glenn: OK.
John Glenn: You tell them that- that Astronaut John Glenn told you to say that.

6. I liked the follow up

The other astronauts backing up Glenn -- Johnson shows and we walk out.

7. Princess Bride, of course.

Now veer right! (clearly not a sailing term) :rofl:

8. It is cruel to be faced with such a choice.

Having seen The Princess Bride much more often, though, I'd probably go with The Right Stuff.

"Chapter One: The Stuff."

"No, Grandpa! You're not readin' it right!"

9. To fully appreciate The Princess Bride

it should be read.

10. Combine them.... "The Princess Bride and the Seven Dwarfs"
