Boy Crush #2

'As you wish'. Spoken by the irresistible Cary Elwes as Westly in The Princess Bride, never has my heart fluttered so much as to words spoken by a lowly farmboy.
Seriously hot. I don't know what else to say, just look at the picture a bit more. Elwes was 25 when this movie came out, so totally age appropriate for me right now, but in real life, he's the same age as my dad. Why, why did I have to work that out?

You know Robin Wright as Buttercup was luminous in this film too.

Basic plot line if you haven't heard of this movie: Westly is a farmboy who works for Buttercup. Just as they realise their love for each other, Westley decides to leave for the seas to make his fortune and news comes back that he is killed by the Dread Pirates. Buttercup is heartbroken, but 5 years later decides to marry Prince Humperdink but she does not love him.

While out riding one day she is kidnapped by 3 outlaws, the boss -Vizzini (Wallace Shawn), Fezzik a giant (Andre the giant) and Inigo Montoya - a fencing master (Mandy Patinkin, his full name will be become important in the quotes section).
They are tracked by Prince Humperdink and a mysterious man in black. And I won't say anymore in case there are people who haven't seen this marvellous movie. In short it is funny, dramatic and romantic all in one and features many great characters and one liners my family will quote for days after watching the film.
Wallace Shawn is one crazy little man, while not having a huge role, he makes his memorable.
Andre the giant's thick accent sometimes makes what he is saying incomprehensible but it adds to the fun (fun personal fact, he was only 13cm taller than my boyfriend).
I love Mandy Patinkin in this, I'm not even sure why but he does have a good role with the most meat (he is trying to avenge his father's death by a 6 fingered man).

Favourite quotes:
Inigo Montoya: Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

[Vizzini has just cut the rope The Dread Pirate Roberts is climbing up] Vizzini: HE DIDN'T FALL? INCONCEIVABLE.
Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Vizzini: I can't compete with you physically, and you're no match for my brains. Man in Black: You're that smart? Vizzini: Let me put it this way. Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates? Man in Black: Yes. Vizzini: Morons.

Buttercup: You mock my pain.

Man in Black: Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something

Prince Humperdinck: She is alive, or was an hour ago. If she is otherwise when I find her I shall be very put out.
