The Princess Bride
It's as real as the feelings you feel.
In this enchantingly cracked fairy tale, the beautiful Princess Buttercup and the dashing Westley must overcome staggering odds to find happiness amid six-fingered swordsmen, murderous princes, Sicilians and rodents of unusual size. But even death can't stop these true lovebirds from triumphing.

I wonder where all the "family fun" part of the movie resides. Would not rec…
