I was watching my favorite movie in the new to me DVD version and really enjoyed the added features of the interviews and making of the movie. Most of those features on other movies are pathetic but this one is special. If you like this movie and don't have the DVD version with these features I recommend you get it.

I love The Princess Bride. Since my kids destroyed the tape, it looks like the DVD will make it home.

Have you seen Alice in Wonderland? This version (see below) is not 100% true to the story, but the family really enjoys it. For $9 from Amazon, it's worth a shot.....

I will look for it. I'm hard to please when it comes to movies or TV. If it doesn't catch my attention in the first 5 minutes I'm gone. The Princess Bride was an exception as it's slow for about the first 10 minutes. I'm a dialog fan. If it's funny without being slapstick I'll love it. Men In Black to me is funny. My second favorite movies is Pirates of the Caribbean. I watch movies to relax and there is more than enough violence and such in the real world I don't need that to relax to

What's the Princess Bride about? I kind of assumed it was a kid movie, with pre-teen girls as the target audience. So I guess I mis-judged that one?

Cool, I'll check it out. Sounds like a good movie for a date.

I agree, Wayne. IF the date does not like thee movie, she/he should be dumped immediately for a total lack of imaginative wonder.

It plays on at least two, maybe three levels if you listen closely. If you decide to watch it just make sure there are no distractions or you'll miss most of the one liners. Dr. Stangelove is another great movie for dialog fans.
