Anybody want a peanut?
This makes me so very happy.
I saw The Princess Bride in the theatre the first weekend it came out in September 1987; I was in that magical first month of my freshman year at college so for me it's all wrapped up in nostalgia and the delight of new freedom and friendships and the feeling of unlimited possibility. 'Tis true.
My favorite, exceedingly quotable lines that have been dropped into conversation over the years:
As you wish.
Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
ROUS.
No more rhymes now, I mean it! ...anybody want a peanut?
You rush a miracle man, you get rotten miracles.
We are men of action, lies do not become us.
Inconceivable.
You keep using this word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
I just checked and I have now mentioned The Princess Bride no less than five times on this blog. Five! It's going to start needing its own tag pretty soon. Here are the others, in case you're wondering:
Hello my name is
As you wish
Ensconced
En garde
. . .
p.s. thanks to my brother Chris for passing these along. I did the math and he was seven when The Princess Bride came out. Youngster.

I don't think I've ever gone anywhere where John and Mary didn't say, "Have fun stormin' the castle!" In fact, I knew I was in the right family when I was engaged and they had us go around the room and quote our favorite Princess Bride quotes until someone ran out. It was a long night and I knew this was the family for me!
Me too. Thanks. :)
best. comedy. ever.
Thanks for these videos!
We seriously quote this movie at least weekly. Thanks for the clips - I hadn't seen them.
This is really childish but when I am killing squash bugs (ick) or pulling weeds, I often say: Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my flowers/squash. Prepare to die.
It couldn't possibly be THAT long ago...! Wow. A total classic.
