Throwback Cinema: The Princess Bride

Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles: Throwback Cinema’s February selection is the universally beloved “The Princess Bride.” The 1987 Rob Reiner film is one of the most cherished movies of the past forty years, with dialogue quoted as often and as sincerely as proverbs. What begins as a mundane fairy tale told by an enthusiastic Grandfather to his apathetic grandson turns into a gloriously cheeky romp through the tropes of the genre, resulting in an epic story you’ll want to revisit again and again. Will Princess Buttercup marry the evil Prince Humperdinck? Was Westley murdered by the Dread Pirate Roberts? Will Inigo Montoya ever get his revenge upon the Six Fingered Man? Do Rodents Of Unusual Size really exist? Join us at the Revue and experience the charm and magic of this modern family classic!
