Overview
Rob Reiner’s The Princess Bride remains one of the most perfectly balanced films ever made, part fantasy adventure, part romance, part satire, and entirely its own thing!
Based on Reiner’s favourite book by William Goldman (who also wrote the screenplay), this is a subversive fairy-tale, if you wish, for kids of all ages, from 13 to 93 and beyond.
Featuring a mostly fresh, pre-fame—but already stellar—cast including Robin Wright, Cary Elwes, Chris Sarandon, Christopher Guest, Peter Falk, Carol Kane, Fred Savage, Wallace Shawn, and WWE legend André the Giant (André René Roussimoff), the film is packed with endlessly quotable one-liners, gloriously meme-able comedy, and moments that have become pure cinematic memory.
Whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day, coming with friends, or just looking for a great movie night, join us for a screening of one of the most universally loved films ever made.
