The Princess Bride

How to describe such a lovable movie? It's nearly impossible for me to put into words what a fun movie it is. It is probably one of the best love stories ever told, one of the funniest movies I've ever watched, and one of the best adventures to ever unfold. I can't heap more praise on this goofy thrilling film. The Princess Bride's characters I think is what really sets it apart though. Ever person (and I don't use that word lightly) is fleshed out to the point of being almost a complete entity. At the same time they are all so over the top, you can't help but love/hate every single person in it. Whether it's Andre the giant as a lovable but immensely strong oaf, Carey Elwes as the ridiculous  but intensely cunning hero, Mandy Patinkin as the drunken revenge driven swordsman, or Chris Sarandon as the worlds biggest asshole, there isn't one character I feel indifference towards. The adventure they undergo is made all the sweeter by it. The personalities take the world and make it something I care about. That's what makes this movie so wonderful. Every time, good or bad, is felt by the audience in a way that I believe will be timeless.
