I LOVE Princess Bride. It is indeed one of my most favorite movies.
we have it on vhs, and I'm sure we'll get a copy on dvd (santa brought
us a dvd player).
speaking of movies... what other must have on dvd do you all suggest?
We joined netvista so we could rent loads of dvd's.

Actually, the movie's good too, but I find the RU vid much more to my taste).
Alfred Hitchcock films are great, esp. Rope, which is my personal favourite -
a murder mystery where the first scene is the murder, and you know the whole
way through who the killers are!
I love 'psychological thrillers'.
I also really like Labyrinth, for a good fantasy movie, and hey! It, too, is
musical!
Sunset Boulevard is one of my all-time favourite movies. It's fabulous and
interesting and I would love it even if it hadn't been converted into a
musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber (I can see a definite pattern here...). But
the movie is the original, black & white version, not the ALW musical.
Jurassic Park is another great film. The makers of it did an impressive job
of retaining what's good about the book -- namely, the plot and
'technobabble' -- whilst changing the characters just enough so that they're
more interesting to watch onscreen. If there's one problem with JP-the-book,
it's that the characters are unlikable and more than a little 2-dimensional.
But the plot is fantastic, and that's what makes the movie great.

Bride DVD has some cool interviews on it.
So far we have A Knight's Tale - we play in the SCA and find that movie
to be a riot! We have Shrek, Star Wars Episode 1, and A Land Before Time
The Big Freeze (my son saw that at Costco and *had* to have it)! I'm not
sure what else we will get.

Wizard of Oz on DVD has some cool extra stuff, and you can watch it in
French. It's apparently very big in France and has been for a long time.

Side of the Moon playing instead? Very cool. You start the music when the
lion roars for the third time at the beginning of the movie. All sorts of
very cool things match up between movie and music. I imagine some very
stoned individuals must have first discovered this.

We've done that. About a year or so there was a big deal about it on TV, wasn't there?

THANK GOODNESS they weren't doing it to movies back then and thank goodness
for Franco Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet because b'zillions of 1960's
teenagers discovered they LOVED Shakespeare in spite of being tortured with
it in school.
We've watched Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet, the gangland version with Claire
Dane and Leonardo DeCaprio, and West Side Story. Can anybody think of other
Romeo and Juliet-based movies?

I thought there was a Lawrence Olivier Romeo and Juliet, but I must have been
thinking of Hamlet.
When I was looking I found this, though: Romeo and Juliet (1968/I) (voice)
(uncredited)
I don't know what voice he is. Maybe there's a narrator? Maybe they
replaced a voice?
We havd a video of a Canadian stage-play style production, if you want to
borrow it. It's a CBC video.
