(6) The Princess Bride


(11) 48 Hrs.

48 HRS. did nothing for me.

The Princess Bride did. Robin Wright, pre-Penn. Andre the Giant. Mandy Patinkin. Chris Guest. Wallace Shawn Etc. etc. etc. So many enjoyable performances.

[Willets Point]

A no-brainer. It's inconceivable that 48 Hrs. could win this thing.

I don't think that word means what you think it does...

A great movie! Even the bit parts were outstanding.

I know Princess Bride reached Cult status, but it never did much for me.

"Fuck you."

"Ooh, that's my favorite."

[Guest AG/DC]

Sweet vs. Violent, Fantasy vs. Realism, but these were both very good at what they do.

[metirish]

The Princess Bride gets my vote , I liked both well enough.


I can watch Mandy Patinkin in just about anything. Loved him in Chicago Hope and was rooting for that show big time over ER back in the day.

[Guest themetfairy]

The Princess Bride is a family favorite - it's my pick in this round.

I sentence you to Yentl.

Yeah saying anything means trouble , should have said I really like him as an actor.

I think he's still doing the Tempest on Broadway. Not sure if that production is still running.

[Guest themetfairy]

My daughter saw The Tempest recently, and she loved it.

[Theoldmole]

This is the first tough choice, in that I liked 48 Hours a lot, but I won't go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line.

[dgwphotography]

I liked 48hrs. I loved Princess Bride...

I need to get one of these shirts

My younger son read [u:gg29zdhv]The Princess Bride[/u:gg29zdhv] last year in school and loved it. After he finished, we watched the movie and it was still wonderful.

Wow, that's harsh.

Right. I believe Barbara Streisand is actually a male member of my species. Sure. Let's go with that.
