Parent context: I was a kid when I saw Princess Bride. I was a lot like Fred Savage's character, in fact. I started out being like 'ew this is a kissing movie' but by the end I adored it. Reply: I showed the Princess Bride to my kids for the first time just last year and it was the most perfect timing. ... Just having that moment of sharing a favorite movie of mine and having my kids enjoy it as much as I do is a memory I will always treasure.

I was a kid when I saw Princess Bride. I was a lot like Fred Savage's character, in fact. I started out being like 'ew this is a kissing movie' but by the end I adored it. I had it on VHS and watched it constantly... That movie was a relief for boredom that meant a lot to me.

One of the few movies that everyone loved was The Princess Bride. But I especially loved it because it was one of those rare movies that felt tailored to me.

The princess bride, three men in a boat, anything by Wodehouse (my favourites are psmith). All of these are so fun and humourous, princess bride is very high stakes, the others are the lowest stakes possible.
