I loved everything about this movie the first time I ever saw it. I loved the actors, the plot, the humor, and the novelty. I don't usually like physical comedy, but I couldn't stop laughing after Buttercup falls haphazardly down the hillside. I appreciated how the tale is unpredictably interrupted by the little boy with questions or objections. I am probably familiar with lines from this movie more than all others combined:
Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die
Miracle Max: Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do.
Inigo Montoya: What's that?
Miracle Max: Go through his clothes and look for loose change.
Vizzini: No more rhymes now, I mean it!
Fezzik: Anybody want a peanut?
"You mocked me once, never do it again! I died that day!"
"To the pain."
I had no idea until a few years ago that it's a nerd movie, a movie that nerds know and love. I don't know how I feel about that, but it's one of my favorites, and if that makes me a nerd, then so be it. There are worse things I could be.
Thank You, Lord, for this entertaining classic.
