The Princess Bride (1987) Movie Reaction! ☾ FIRST TIME WATCHING 

I'm so glad I could introduce you to this movie and so glad you liked it. Your smile mad e me smile.

When Darth Vader was saying 'As you wish' to Grand Moff Tarkin what he really meant was 'I love you'.

Me at age 12: I really loved the action sequences and the funny parts.” Me at age 30: “I really loved the friendships, romance, and film making.” Me at age 45: “I loved when the boy said “maybe you could read it again” and the grandpa replied “as you wish.”

On the set of The Princess Bride, André the Giant once ‘let out a 16-second fart and brought production to a standstill.’ Nobody said anything except director Rob Reiner, who said ‘Are you OK, André?’ to which André replied, ‘I am now, boss.’

"Go away or I'll call the brute squad!" "I'm on the brute squad." "You are the brute squad!"

I had the pleasure of meeting Andre the Giant at the Albuquerque airport when I was about 7 years old. He was as kind and gentle as he was huge. I'll never forget the smile he gave me. The man was legendary.

In the scene with Miracle Max Billy Crystal kept adlibbing until director Rob Reiner had to leave the set Wesley had to be replaced with a dummy and Mandy Patinkin hurt his ribs holding back his laughter

“ It’s not that bad… Well I’m not exactly saying I’d build a summer home here but the trees are actually quite lovely. “ 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is one of those rare instances of a perfect film.

The way you were smiling throughout they movie best epitomizes what everyone else feels when watching The Princess Bride; pure joy. There are so few of them, but this is a perfect film. The pacing is good, the story is simple yet relatable, the acting is spot on, and the music is subtle but amazing. Love your pure reaction, Centane.

I love that, during the poison scene, if Vizzini had followed his own logic, he would’ve also guessed both cups were poisoned.

The Princess Bride is one of those sleepers that wil grab anyone that has even half a heart. Truly a class act movie. Great lines.. and the Dread Pirate Roberts concept. So great.

When Mandy Patinkin (Inigo Montoya) got his revenge and performed that epic scene, "I want my father back you son of a bitch." His father had passed away from cancer, so when said that piece of dialogue he did so as if he was saying it to the cancer that took his father. That's why it was performed so powerfully.

Fun fact: Lord Farquaad from Shrek was modeled after Prince Humperdink! Also as far as Wesley's pencil mustache it's a nod to the Swashbuckling era of Hollywood and stars like Errol Flynn, which this entire movie is a loving tribute/homage too. This is one of those few and far between perfect movies, that just has such a great blend of comedy, adventure, action and romance; not to mention great script, witty, playful and just down right fun dialog and incredible cast! I highly recommend reacting to The Goonies, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Willow all being great fun movies I have a feeling you will enjoy since you had so much fun with this movie and were one big smile the entire time!

_"I have been in the revenge business so long. Now that it’s over, I do not know what to do with the rest of my life."_ Most of us think that we can relate, but hopefully none of us can.

"I'm having so much fun." You just described the entirety of Princess Bride in that one sentence. Also: The Polite banter during Wesley's & Indego Montoya's "Gentlemen's Duel" is SUCH a classic!

I love this movie because Count Rugen's fingers go up to eleven.

PB is one of the nicest movies ever made. So funny and so heart-warming.

i'M SO HAPPY YOU FINALLY GOT TO experience this movie which means so much to so many of us.

That final 'As you wish' from grandpa 😥😥

7:58 I love when Inigo smiles there. The moment after they've each had their first exchange, Like, "Oh. This is going to be good." Probably the most fun sword fight in a movie ever.

My favorite line still....."I won't let it go to my head"......too perfect

So many RU-vidrs think the grandfather is Wesley because he says “as you wish.” No. He was just saying “yes, I’ll come and read it again tomorrow” and “I love you” at the same time. It’s a rare, clean double entendre, and one of the best closing lines in movie history.

The actor playing Wesley also did an amazing job as Robin Hood in Robin Hood Men in Tights.

You may like this, an act of love. It was very cold, where they filmed. The giant used to put his hand on top of Princess Buttercup's head so she wouldn't get cold. There's so many acts of love, in the making o this movie,. This is just one of them. :)

This was known as "The Greatest Hollywood Movie Never Made". For ten years the script circulated through the studios before Rob Reiner finally directed it. It's brilliant! 😎

So many great lines in this! This grumpy 50 year old man loves watching this one lol.

"Get rid of this kid, I want the story." OMG, Kamilla. 😄

Andre the Giant was an incredibly nice person. The actress that played Buttercup said that he was really really sweat. She told a story in an interview saying that the cast went horseback riding once and it started to rain. She said that she wasn't dressed for it and was shivering. Andre noticed and gently rested his hand on her head. She said his hand was so big that it made a surprisingly good hat. She said that it kept her warm and made her feel safe.

A number of reacters have wondered why Buttercup is such a damsel in distress, particularly during the fire swamp sequence. She probably could do more, and she is ultimately written as a damsel stock character, but she *is* also a commoner who’s spent the majority of her life learning to be just a farm girl, whereas Westley has at least spent several years learning to be a pirate then pirate leader.

Andrew the Giants hands were bigger than a person's head, so during filming Robin ( Princess) was cold, so Andre placed his huge warm hands on her head and kept her warm haha

The Princess, Robin Wright also plays Jenny in Forrest Gump, with this movie, she starred in two of my favorite movies.

Never know how fear will take over you. Imagine being attacked by two wolves ... everyone thinks they'll fight back like a hero, but guarantee most will either flee or freeze.

One thing few people ever mention: I love how, towards the end, Inigo gives Count Rugen the exact same wounds in the exact same places that he received from him before he kills him. Each cheek, the upper left chest, the upper right arm, and finally the stomach.

A MASTERPIECE thanks so much for watching this film w us!! i love it and you for watching and seeing your enjoyment in this!!!

I love how you get it so early on...cheering for both of them, etc. One of the best movies ever. You said it yourself...All you do for the whole movie is smile!

That last "As you wish." always makes me tear up.

"Move...THAT THING....aaaandd....AND THAT OTHER THING"..... Best captain EU West.....

Now you need to watch willow. Willow and the princess bride are two of the best movies ever created.

You were smiling the whole time, and that just made it even better.

One of my favs, glad you liked it. Back in the day, I would always show this to girls I liked, guaranteed first kiss, every time. Your welcome young men out there.

Always been on my favorites list, great movie, never gets old. No matter how many times I see it....I still get the chills during the fight between Count Rugen and Inyigo.

The Princess Bride is one of my all time favorite Comedies.... absolute perfection.

When indigo says he wants his father back that’s actually Mandy Patinkin’s real voice. His father had passed from cancer recently. He said that was the hardest scene to film.

I always loved this movie because the fact that it was being read as a story made all of the goofiness and dialogue completely believable and fun. Glad you saw this one :)

ANDRE THE GIANT RIP my brother 🤼🏽‍♂️

On the day they filmed the Fire Swamp, the screenwriter was on set. Even though he knew that Buttercup's dress was supposed to catch fire, he couldn't control his reaction and shouted "her dress! Someone put her out!" ruining the take.

Very enjoyable. You would've made a great Princess Buttercup!

During the scene where Inigo and Fezik give Wesley the pill to bring him back to life, Andre the Giant farted. According to Cary Elwes (Wesley) it lasted for sixteen seconds and rendered one of the sound crew partially deaf. And Hulk Hogan told him years later that that was normal for Andre.

You should definitely get a copy of the book. The premise of book is that William Goldman took a much older book and edited out all the boring parts. My favorite anecdote is how he came up wit the name. He asked his daughters what his next book should be about. One said a princess one said a bride.

7:15 The level of trust between these two is _incredible._

This film is a masterpiece. I love it. It is a romantic movie that is equally appealing to both men and women. I met Wallace Shawn and Chris Sarandon from the movie, Vincini and The main villain Prince Humperdinck. The giant is played by the late wrestler Andre the Giant. RIP I miss Andre. The Grandfather is played by Peter Falke. He is most famous for playing the lead in the 80s mystery tv show Columbo.

Good to see you taking a break from the heart-wrenching movies. Glad you really enjoyed the movie you deserve it. Have a great weekend.

I love watching you react to my old favourites! Seeing your joy at watching this one made me feel as if I was watching it again for the very first time. Robin Wright (princess Buttercup) also plays Jenny, the female lead in Forrest Gump, and Antiope, the Amazon general in Wonder Woman

This is one of my favourites, Clue (murder mystery/comedy) is as good, not the same humour, but clever script, well acted etc.. Thank you :-)

omg. your smile at 25:08 melted my heart. so happy you enjoyed this movie!

One of the best movies of all time

Awesome job. One of my favorites.

I'm a dad of a daughter about your age and one a few years younger. As I recall you had mentioned in the previous video that you had lost your father. I'm very sorry to hear that and I'm sure he was very proud of you. I'm sure that most of the space in his heart was occupied with his love for you.

Fun fact, I was able to meet Carey Elewes in Purcell Oklahoma on the set of twister. He asked me if I was having a good time and I said yes but you have to watch out for the ROUSes. Without skipping a beat, he said I don’t think they exist.

This movie is timeless and it makes brings together the perfect balance of "corny" and "cool". Love it! Keep the reactions coming, C -- love those too!

Believe it or not, the two most popular actors in this entire cast back in the 80's were the ones who played the grandson and the grandpa

What a great reaction to such a timeless classic!

So Glad you watched this Family Classic Masterpiece. I consider it a must watch for children of all ages from 3 to 123. And to those among us who didn't like this Light-Hearted Movie, "Get used to disappointment."

The Princess Bride is a book, very funny and worth adding to your list. The writer, William Goldman, also wrote the screenplay for Misery, also directed by Rob Reiner.

I enjoyed your reaction. You really get the humor, which is what makes this movie so much fun.

NOW, You are "Doomed" just like the rest of us!!! This is now one of the best movies of your life! I loved the two-hands-on-your-cheeks during the "Kiss".

I read the book about 5 years after seeing this movie, (mid-90s) Yeah both are pretty much perfect.

So glad you enjoyed this film, I have loved it from the first time I saw it back in the cinema in 1987. In fact I judge people on whether they like it or not... There are three types of people in the world, people who haven't seen the Princess Bride, those that love it, and those who aren't worth knowing.

Your review of this movie was too cute! You make the whole thing fun!

This movie is so wholesome. It's just a blast from start to finish. When it came out in 1987, it was the very definition of an instant classic: a movie that you immediately know it will hold on decades later. It did too, The Princess Bride is also super quotable, like Clue (1985) or Forrest Gump or Pulp Fiction (both 1994), it's the kind of movie that even those who haven't watched it would recognise immediately some of the lines because of how iconic and used in other media they are. One of my all time favorite movies and a fun, fun, time.

Great to watch along with you as you discovered this gem, especially in a time when you needed to enjoy a lot of smiles.

I say "as you wish" as much as possible to my little niece. :)

My new fav part of this movie will be the line @18:35: "Get rid of this kid, I want the story!" I had to lol at that!

My whole families favorite movie. Great reaction. For another fun one try "Up".

The actors wanted this to be the longest sword in cinematic history and it was

That excited little clap at the end made the reaction.

Pretty much a perfect film. Adventure, comedy, romance, drama. All with a great cast! Peter Falk is great as the grandfather. His line at the end of the film is the tasty icing on a perfect cake! 10 out of 10!!!

This, Back to the Future and Ghostbusters are the three perfect movies to come out of the 80.

2 more lighthearted movies "Big Trouble in Little China", and "A Knights Tale"

Did you know this was based off a book? And that the writer helped write this movie too. It’s my favorite book and movie.

Chris Sarandon(Humperdinck) is memorable in the original Fright Night, a vampire movie. Your reaction was very enjoyable.

This is my favorite movie. I’m glad you not only experienced it but your smile lasted the entire movie. I’m so glad you liked it!

As others have stated all I could about Princess Bride, I will just say it is the PERFECT movie. Need a family movie? Check. Want adventure? Check. Into Fantasy? Got it. Love story? Absolutely! (go back and listen to the ending song by Mark Knopfler and Willie Deville- Storybook Love , yes it's on YT as well). There is something for everyone. The original book was written by William Goldman for his daughters. Rob Reiner the producer brought him on set. The movie had been attempted several times and failed. Goldman was said to have been brought to tears by this adaptation and gave his blessing on the movie.

Such a magical movie. One of my top 10 favs

Ugh, I'd love watching movies with you, Centane. You watch them exactly the way I do XD

6:19 I assume this was done on purpose, it's the same mustache Errol Flynn wore in the old Robin Hood movies.

i swear, everyone's reacting to this movie lately. i saw this movie a few times as a kid since it's my dad's favourite movie. not a bad film as far as those classic romantic fantasies go

I loved watching you watch this movie, your facial expressions were exquisite, you looked so invested in it all!

Pity you couldn't include Westley's "As you wiiiiiish!!!!!" reveal on the hill, Centane! I mean, you had it clocked, but that's just such a funny moment . . .

Loved watching with you. Your reactions were great! I love this movie. I'm so glad you enjoyed it too.

Such a wonderful, iconic movie full of great lines and scenes. I absolutely love the "Honest Trailer" for this movie. It may be cheesy and cliche, but everyone loves it. The title "Princess Bride" is because the author asked his 2 girls what his next book should be about. One yelled "A princess!" while the other yelled "A bride!"

I recommend _Moonstruck_ (1987). It is one of those rare things, a non-sappy romantic comedy. It stars Cher and Nicolas Cage with support from Vincent Gardenia, Olympia Dukakis, Danny Aiello, John Mahoney, Anita Gillette, and Feodor Chaliapin Jr. (son of the great Russian basso). Nominated for six Oscars it won three: Best Actress, Cher; Best Supporting Actress, Olympia Dukakis; and Best Original Screenplay, John Patrick Shanley. It is a wonderfully written film with stellar performances all round.

I have seen Cary Elwes in person when he hosted a showing of this movie at a local theater.

Ah! You read Pet Semetary! I liked that one. Specifically, for the things from the story that were left out of the film.

You missed the most-quoted line in the movie: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

I'm really glad this movie was made when it was, and that it has held up in the years since it was made. If it were made today, they'd have CGI'd the everloving shit out of it, and probably even shoehorned in a musical number for no reason. Maybe they're not perfect, but I like the practical effects.

So many awesome behind-the-scenes things I could mention, but this one is my favorite...concerning the guy who played Inigo. Some time before filming, his father had passed away from cancer. This quote is from the actor: "From the moment I read the script...I said I'm gonna do this part because in my mind if I get this six-fingered guy that means I killed the cancer that killed my dad..."

Mandy Patinkin's father died of cancer before filming the movie. Mandy imagined the 6 fingered man as cancer and in the climatic scene where Inigo says "I want my father back" he drops the accent and says that line in his true voice.

8:13-You should be. Neither one of these men wants to kill the other. They gain a mutual respect for each other's skills pretty quickly. As Wesley said, "I'd sooner destroy a stained glass window than someone of your talents."
