The Princess Bride - 25th Anniversary

I absolutely love the Princess Bride, and it's one of my favorite movies.  This year is the 25th Anniversary of the Princess Bride, and as part of the celebration, director Rob Reiner, screenwriter William Goldman, and cast members Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Billy Crystal, Mandy Patinkin, Chris Sarandon, Carol Kane, and Wallace Shawn gathered at New York's Alice Tully Hall for a special screening and a panel discussion with the lucky fans who got tickets to the New York Film Festival event. 

Entertainment Weekly has a great recap of the event, and ABC News has a fun slideshow comparing the cast now and then. 

Mr. Y, our friends, and I quote the Princess Bride all the time.  My favorite quotes:

- "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

- "As you wish"

- "INCONCEIVABLE"  "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
- "Have fun storming the castle!"

- "You can't hurt me. Westley and I are joined by the bonds of love. And you cannot track that, not with a thousand bloodhounds, and you cannot break it, not with a thousand swords."

- "Mawage. Mawage is wot bwings us togeder tooday."
