Hamming it Up
For about a year, I've been thinking the girls are ready to watch The Princess Bride, a modern-day classic movie. When I was a teenager I stumbled upon the movie in a video store (oh, I remember them fondly). I had never heard of it and after watching it couldn't figure out why I hadn't heard of it because it was FANTASTIC! Turns out, it is a favorite of many people and there are t-shirts and who knows what all else made with lines from the movie. There are MANY well-known lines from the movie, as I found out when I put up a Facebook post regarding The Princess Bride and people spontaneously entered quotes from the movie in the comment section.
Well, the girls did love the movie, and over the course of a couple of weeks we watched it about 100 times. I am not exaggerating. Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating a little, but we watched it A LOT. Enough for the girls to start quoting lines from the movie...
If you've never watched the movie, DO IT!! The movie is based on a book, The Princess Bride, which I haven't read but I have it on good authority (Jason) that this is a case where the movie is way better than the book (one of the few cases, in my opinion).
