The Princess Bride

In this inconceivably charming and hilarious fairy tale set in an alternate universe of joyful derring-do and corny jokes, Princess Buttercup (Robin Wright) is kidnapped by a motley crew—including a strongman (André the Giant), a master swordsman (Mandy Patinkin), and an evil genius (Wallace Shawn)—right before she is to be married to the villainous Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon). A romance at its core, The Princess Bride is still perfect for kids who prefer action and adventure. Recommended for ages 8 and up.
