The Princess Bride (1987)

CHANNEL 5, 10.45AM

This well-loved fairy tale has only improved with time. Spinal Tap director Rob Reiner throws in an abundance of quotable lines (“Inconceivable!”), memorable characters and an exceptional cast, including Billy Crystal and Wallace Shawn. Cary Elwes is at his roguish best as a pirate who sets out to rescue his true love (Robin Wright) from the evil Prince Humperdinck whom she has agreed to marry.
