The Princess Bride (1987)
This is one of those rare movies that IMO has absolutely no flaws. It's a fun adventure that has a little bit of everything. It has drama, romance, humor, action, and adventure, plus a great story, great characters, an amazing cast, and more.
When I first saw this movie in the theater years ago, the only actors who I recognized were Chris Sarandon, Billy Crystal, and Peter Falk, but I quickly became a fan of many of the actors in the movie, especially Mandy Patinkin. I loved him as Inigo Montoya, and the scenes with Inigo, Fezzik and Vizzini are some of the funniest scenes in the movie.
My favorite scene is the swordfight between The Man in Black and Inigo Montoya. I consider this to be one of the greatest swordfights in movie history, however it seems that Inigo was a better swordsman, so he should have won the swordfight. Just look at the smoothness of the sword transfer when he switches from left-handed to right-handed. He doesn't miss a beat.
Even the annoying characters are fun and somehow likeable, especially Vizzini, Miracle Max and his wife, and even Prince Humperdinck.
And even though I've never been much of a fan of Fred Savage, I absolutely love the scenes with him and Peter Falk as his Grandpa.
