I felt a little embarassed having never seen this movie while it's considered to be such a cult classic. I must say at first I was like... "Really?" but the characters silly jokes and constant banter grew on me and by the end of the movie, I felt exactly like the Grandson hearing the story for the first time. Not only did every character have such a unique personality, they all had a great sense of humor. I feel like the movie somehow fit all great things about cinema into the hour and a half or so that it ran. Romance, parody, action and adventure seal the deal on this being on the top of best movie lists everywhere.
One of the first things I thought of after the film finished was that the casting really was spot-on. Robin Wright had that perfect combination of the beautiful princess essence mixed with the fearless warrior inside of her that seeks to be brave and not helpless.
"My name is Inigo Montoya... You killed my father. Prepare to die!" He was the most lovable character to me. Passionate about his father's revenge, yet has the kindest heart in the world. He goes on this journey to find the man who killed his father but ends up getting dragged around on this escapade where he proves to only be fiercely goofy and friendly.
I can't say too much for the special effects in this movie; I did noticed a few continuity errors during the first time I saw it. Nonetheless it is still a charming film that has an enchanted soundtrack and plays the farce fairytale card perfectly.
