That's more of a me thing, as I get older certain movies I might have really liked or thought of as great, lose some luster. That's not all movies just certain flicks, as my favorite movies are mainly from 70s, 80s and 90s still.

Princess bride is still classic, but I just don't really have it on any of my all time lists anymore. Even tho I quote the movie still. But I quote lines from bad movies too so.

The dialog is top notch. The problem for me is that whenever I quote the movie, I end up giving the next line, and the next, and the next.

I think this may be one of the last movies in which everyone, from the director to the 50th lead actor, got it. That's hard to do. I finally read the book a few years back, and from the book, it would've been hard to convey the tone just right. There's usually someone that plays it up or down, and even though it may end up working, that wasn't the intent. This had it perfectly.

I don't think they exist.

You have six fingers on your right hand. Someone was looking for you.

I make him better, Humperdink suffers? THAT is a noble cause. Give me the 65

That shyt is hilarious in terms of delivery, and how obsessed Inigo was in finding him. He was so nonchalant and shady.

Definitely more of a cult classic. The Savage family was on a role in that time. Let's see... you had Wonder years (Fred Savage), boy meets world (Ben Savage) and then this (Fred Sr. and Jr.) movie plus wasn't it Andre the giant's breakout role, lol?

Probably the best spoof genre film of all time.

Better than Airplane?

Airplane is my ish. Another classic that came out the year I was born

OOH that's a great spinoff topic. But I don't think many in here would've seen stuff like This is Spinal Tap for a thorough discussion
