[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here to chime in that Princess Bride is an awful movie. 
I watched it about 10 years ago after hearing what a great movie it is, and I hate it. I think it's horrible. [/quote]

I think you had to watch it as a child to really like it, and most of us like it now because of nostalgia. It had some classic scenes though.[/quote]

NP. I suspect the posters here saying they hated it are also just not into humor along the lines of the Monty Python shows and movies, Mel Brooks films and similar humor. I won't try to explain it, since humor is a "you get it or you don't," love it or hate it thing. But I've found that adults who love "The Princess Bride" tend to be ones who also enjoy Python and a certain style of good-natured parodic humor. Because "Princess Bride" is a good-natured parody. But some folks just do not get, or don't like, that type of parody. That's fine.

It's not all about childhood nostalgia for two reasons: One, there are those of us, including me, who saw it first as an adult and like it. Two, it's got plenty of humor that is not aimed at kids.
