Here at last is a film that tells the truth - most of us hate the soppy bits in adventure films! Who doesn't want to skip past the good-hearted hero and perky princess to the cunning villain and hero's entertaining sidekicks? The Princess Bride takes apart the traditional damsel-in-distress story and puts it back together again, complete with a friendly giant, a dreaded pirate captain, a dashing swordsman seeking revenge, a cowardly prince and - eventually! - a brave hero and the beautiful maiden, in a film that quickly became thought of as a classic for kids of all ages – and for adults too!

Fascinating facts
Director Rob Reiner, left the set during Billy Crystal's scenes because he said he would laugh so hard he'd feel like being sick.
Although he was 7’ tall, Andre the Giant – the professional wrestler who played Fezzik in The Princess Bride – was suffering back problems during the shoot, and couldn’t lift any heavy objects
