I have a few films to get through, so nothing in depth on these, sorry!
The Princess Bride is a film of the same genre, as well as style and era, as such things as Willow, The Neverending Story and Time Bandits. Basic plot: man and woman fall in love, man goes off to find his fortune, doesn’t return, girl is taken as bride for local prince, gang kidnaps girl, girl rescued by mysterious stranger, blah blah.
The plot doesn’t matter. Because the film is funny, brainless, and has Columbo, Fred Savage and Andre the Giant in it. What more do you need?
Verdict: 4/5
