Twenty Years Already?

I am one of those goofy people that loves the movie, “The Princess Bride.” My Dad sent me a link to this cute article about it’s twentieth anniversary. It is one of those movies that doesn’t try to prove itself, and tells a story that is fun and G-rated. Oh, I guess there is that one line when Inigo Montoya finally corners the six fingered man… I have always thought that the raunchy comedies are sort of the easy way out. It’s always harder to make the clean jokes funny.

One memory that came back to me as I read through this article was of my Dad doing career day. When I was in sixth grade we had parents come in and tell about various careers. Mine came in to talk about making movies. (He worked on several movies the most memorable to me being, “Mr. Krueger’s Christmas” and “Windwalker.”) I remember being so proud of how cool my Dad was for knowing about how movies are made, and remember him using the scene from this movie where Fezzick is climbing the the rope up a cliff as an example of what a blue screen can do. Anyway, I highly recommend this movie, and will gladly sit with anyone and rattle off great quotes. 😉
