The Princess Bride turned 25!! Cast reunion planned for the New York Film Festival Wonder who among us watched that movie the most times? I'm guessing my number is 10. I'm also guessing someone has me beat by a mile. 'Fess up - how many times did you brandish an air-sword and declare "Hullo! My name is Inigo Montoya!" . . .

I think my wife has got you beat--although I'm man enough to say that I'm not too far behind. And you don't even have to threaten me with Iocane powder--which I've developed a tolerance for, of course.

It's pretty rare for more than a couple days to go by without somebody in our family quoting *something* from that movie.
I have no idea how many times I've seen it either in its entirety or partially. Let's say "many".
Killed by pirates is good.

Your quotes are taking me back already! To this day my best friend and I can still crack each other up with one word: Ma-widge. Alas, poor Buttercup!

I remember seeing that movie in the theater with my dad when it first came out. It's one of the movies with the highest rewatchability, as far as I'm concerned. The Mark Knopfler score helps, too.

I'd forgotten that too! But the minute you said his name I could instantly remember every word to 'Storybook Story' or whatever the theme song was really called.
I remember where I was when I heard Andre the Giant died . . .

I'm beginning to think Mark has never seen ANY movie.
