A rewatch for me, but that’s just a fun movie. More than a bit 80s feeling, but it works. I love the characters, especially Andrew the Giant’s Fezzik and Wallace Shawn’s Vizzini. They’re just fun throughout the movie.
And man is this movie quotable.
Even if you haven’t seen, it I’m sure you’ll have heard some of these.
Inigo Montoya: Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
Even without context, I find them funny.
Buttercup: We’ll never survive.
Westley: Nonsense. You’re only saying that because no one ever has.
Although, they’re better with context.
[repeated line]
Vizzini: Inconceivable!
You should just go watch the movie.
Vizzini: HE DIDN’T FALL? INCONCEIVABLE!
Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
You won’t regret it.
Man in Black: Alright. Where is the poison? The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide and we both drink, and find out who is right… and who is dead.
Vizzini: But it’s so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet or his enemy’s? Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me. (it goes on for a while)
Really. Go watch it.
The Grandson: Grandpa, maybe you could come over and read it again to me tomorrow.
Grandpa: As you wish.
