A grandfather, Peter Falk, promised his grandson a sporty bedtime story with fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, miracles and true love. And boy, it is a fun tale to be heard and…

As you wish.
A timeless 80's classic, nearly perfect in every way...
...and yet, if you knew there was stuff missing, and maybe that some of it might actually be worth reading, can you call the movie perfect? Maybe perfectly fine (for…
There is something about this movie, and I can't figure out quite what, that makes you want to watch it again and again. The little bit of campiness helps you to ignore bad props (the giant rats) and dialogue. The actors looked like they…

GREAT 1987 film version of 1973 fantasy romance novel by William Goldman. This really won me over as the film progressed - so much talented acting, production, plus. It was a bit surprising how engaged I became with the plot for this…

Great classic Eighties fantasy/comedy/adventure with a star-packed cast, including the young Fred Savage in his film debut and an unrecognizable, but very funny Billy Crystal. Robin Wright and Cary Elwes are very sweet in their heroic…

An absolute, total disappointment. This is one of the worst movies I have ever partially seen in my entire life. I could only make it to about 20 minutes and gave up to do something more productive like clean my bathroom. Maybe if I had…

Not so much a satire or takeoff on fairy tales, as a revisionist fairy tale. The plot is boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy finds girl. Great swashbuckling and of course, R.O.U.S. Special mention for the musical score by Dire Straits'…

Love this movie. It was a favorite when I was a kid and still is as an adult. My kids liked it too which was a shock. Considering they think anything in 80’s is dinosaur days lol.
