"Get used to disappointment. "

[TahitiNut]

But not tonight! If you tune in immediately to the Bravo channel, you'll get to view one of the essentials of movie literacy: 'The Princess Bride' - a movie so loaded with quotable dialog they might as well just distribute the script.

"You be careful. People in masks cannot be trusted."

"You seem a decent fellow. I hate to kill you."
"You seem a decent fellow. I hate to die."

"You rush a miracle man, you get rotten miracles."

"We are men of action, lies do not become us."

"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

1. that movie and "The American President" are two movies we always

seem to watch when we find them channel surfing

[TahitiNut]

6. "There's not a lot of money in revenge."

:popcorn:

[dflprincess]

2. The first greatest folly of man?

Fighting a land war in Asia.

[TahitiNut]

4. "Inconceivable!"

"You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means."

"You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia", but only slightly less well known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian, when *death* is on the line.". Hahahahahah."

[Aristus]

8. Hmm. It's just not the same without the lisp.

"You fell victim to one of the clathic blunderth. The motht famouth of which ith "Never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only thlightly leth well known ith: "Never match wit-th with a Thithilian when death ith on the line!""

There that's better. B-)

[Selatius]

12. Hahahaha, I love that bit.

A land war in Asia. Boy, we've taken the low road on that one.

[tomreedtoon]

3. "Never get involved in a land war in Asia."

And "There are so few perfect breasts in the world, it would be a shame to lose yours." (That one's from memory.)

"There's a difference between completely dead and mostly dead."

[TahitiNut]

5. "Rodents Of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist."

:rofl:

[Der Blaue Engel]

7. What about the R.O.U.S.es?

:D

On edit: Darn it, you posted the answer just as I was posting the question.

[TahitiNut]

10. Too many 'Jeopardy' reruns, I guess.

:rofl:

[sharp_stick]

9. Have fun stormin' the castle

That is a fun movie.

[TahitiNut]

13. *STARRING* Andre the Giant, 6 years before he died.

:cry:

He was WONDERFUL.

[TheWraith]

11. Man, is that a great movie.

One of those rare movies that has just about everything.

[TahitiNut]

14. Some of the best 'sword-play' in any movie ever.

It's a total classic ... full of giggles, hmmmm's, yuks, and guffaws.

She ain't bad, either. :evilgrin:

[TheWraith]

22. Yeah, I'd be hard pressed to name a better swordfight.

The ones in modern cinema like "Pirates of the Caribbean" or "The Count of Monte Cristo" are good, but they're heavily choreographed--TPB is less showy but more meaty. And the banter is the best.

"Because I know something that you do not."

"And what is that?"

"I am not left handed."

[tridim]

15. Mehwidge..

Mehwidge is wot bwings us togetha today.



Top 5 of all time, easily.

[TahitiNut]

16. "I've seen worse."

:rofl:

I aspire to be the Dread Pirate Roberts ... as soon as I scrape up enough to pay the franchise fee.

"Have you ever considered piracy? You'd make a wonderful Dread Pirate Roberts."

:evilgrin:

[cbugle]

17. Shut up! I mean it!

Anybody want a peanut?

[TahitiNut]

18. "No more rhymes now, I mean it. "

:rofl:

[Coexist]

19. My entire family can quote 3/4 of that movie

and it is worth quoting!

"Good heavens, are you still trying to win?"

"Stop saying that!"

"I've hired you to help me start a war. It's an prestigious line of work, with a long and glorious tradition."

[TlalocW]

20. LOOK!

The Cliffs of INSANITY!!!

I'll yell that every now and then when I see hills (not a lot of cliffs in Kansas/Oklahoma).

That movie has to be one of the most quotable movies ever.

Mawwiage... That bwessed awwangement. That dweam wifin a dweam.

TlalocW

[TahitiNut]

21. (sigh) Over, again. Terrific movie!!
