Blu-Ray Review - Princess Bride 25th Anniversary

About the Blu-Ray

As You Wish... Rob Reiner's Fan Favorite Fairy Tale Celebrates Silver Anniversary; the 25th Anniversary Blu-ray Edition Debuts October 2 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment

Scale the cliffs of insanity, battle rodents of unusual size, face torture in the pit of despair, and join Princess Buttercup and Westley on their spell-binding journey to find true love when The Princess Bride 25th Anniversary Blu-ray debuts October 2 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. A classic fairy tale complete with heroes, villains, trickery, mockery and death-defying miracles, The Princess Bride captured audiences young and old with its brilliant, memorable dialogue, enchanting story line and bewitching characters.

From celebrated director Rob Reiner (The Bucket List) and Oscar®-winning screenwriter William Goldman (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) comes "an enchanting fantasy" (Time) filled with adventure, romance and plenty of "good-hearted fun" (Roger Ebert). Featuring a spectacular cast that includes Robin Wright (Forrest Gump), Cary Elwes (No Strings Attached), Mandy Patinkin ("Homeland") and Billy Crystal (Tooth Fairy), this wonderful fairy tale about a Princess named Buttercup and her beloved is "a real dream of a movie" (People).

The Princess Bride 25th Anniversary Blu-ray is loaded with special features including the all-new featurette "True Love: The Princess Bride Phenomenon" which includes brand new interviews with Reiner, Elwes, Wright, Goldman, Christopher Guest (For Your Consideration), Chris Sarandon (Fright Night) and executive producer Norman Lear.

My Take on the Blu-ray
This as to be one of my favorite movies of all time and now it is back in amazing fashion! This Blu-ray was awesome. Not only did it capture all of the great lines (and humor) of the film, but is also did an amazing job at bring forth the cinematography of the film as well as the music to a completely new level than I had seen before. In general, this movie is such a funny movie, and with actors like Mandy Patinkin and Billy Crystal along with Cary Elwes you cannot go wrong. I mean you even get Andre the Giant as well, who though limited on acting ability still added some fun to the movie too. I have been waiting to share this movie with my kids until they were a bit older, but now that I have this, I plan to share it with them now and I hope that they like it as much as I do! If you are a fan of this movie as I am, you will want this Blu-ray in your own home!
