Fairy Tale Friday

Friday is for Fairytales is a meme hosted by Irena at This Miss Loves to Read. Every Friday, you can choose a fairytale you love, or simply find interesting or haunting, and review it or simply say why you like it so much, or why it has captured your attention. Instead of a fairytale, you can choose a favourite fairytale character and describe him/her and tell us why you like them, or you can simply share an experience connected to a fairytale. Fairytales can be old and modern, written by a known author or anonymous, written down or passed on orally, short or in novel form (like re-writings of fairytales), international or typical for your country alone. In this case, present your country’s fairytale and we can all become acquainted with a new fairytale. So, make a post every Friday that is connected to the world of fairytales, be it a review, a character description or your own fairytale experience. Let’s celebrate fairytales and share our love for them.

I first saw The Princess Bride nine years ago in school where the ending was cut off! But already I was in love and this is still one of my favorite movies. Swashbuckling adventure, revenge plots, brilliant Sicilians, and of course True Love: this movie has it all! Plus it's very quotable. Personally I'm a big Westley fan (that voice!) but there's also Inigo Montoya, Fezzik, Vizzini, and even Prince Humperdinck (what a name!) The book, by William Goldman, is also hilarious and worth a read if you ever see it at your local library or bookstore.

If you haven't seen this, you should put it at the top of your list!
