True love is the most wonderful thing in the world. And if you’re looking for comedy, romance, fantasy, or a swashbuckling adventure, The Princess Bride delivers it all — making it a perfect choice for a Valentine’s Day watch.
Blending true love, edge-of-your-seat excitement, and sharp wit, this timeless ’80s classic only improves with each rewatch. Directed by Rob Reiner with a screenplay by William Goldman, the film is dotted with delightful cameos (sure to raise a smile as you spot familiar faces beneath their costumes) and brilliantly inventive comic moments.
As a young boy lies home sick in bed, his grandfather reads him the tale of a humble farmhand turned pirate, who faces countless dangers, foes, and friends on his journey to reunite with his one true love.
This fairy-tale fantasy is both knowingly playful and deeply heartfelt, and ultimately a film to be enjoyed by the whole family.
