30 Day Movie Challenge: Day 16

I made it over the hump and it's all downhill from here. Today's theme is...

A MOVIE I COULD WATCH OVER AND OVER AGAIN

There are a lot of movies that I could watch over and over again, primarily my favorite movie, but we'll wait for that. The movie I could watch over and over again that isn't necessarily my favorite movie is The Princess Bride. Everyone has a part of this movie that they love, because there are very few people who don't like this movie. Maybe you love Billy Crystal as Miracle Max and Carol Kane as his wife ("Have fun storming the castle!"). Maybe you love Fezzik and his turn as a gentle giant (anybody want a peanut?). Maybe you love the fast talking Vizzini (inconceivable!). Maybe you love Inigo Montoya and his revenge against Count Rugen the six-finger man (who killed his father, and therefore had to prepare to die). Maybe you love the beautiful love story between Westley/Dread Pirate Roberts and Buttercup and three words that may be more beautiful than "I love you": "As you wish". Maybe you even love the relationship between the grandson and grandfather. There are so many facets of this movie that make it watchable over and over again. There are scenes which will make you laugh every single time, even if it's the first time you are watching it. I can watch this movie over and over again and still react like I've never seen it. It is one of the best fairy tales/stories/movies ever, and that makes it impossible not to watch a couple more times.
