The Greatest Film Of All Time

My personal opinion of the greatest movie ever made

The Greatest Film Of All Time

In my opinion, the best movie of all time is The Princess Bride. People have tried to convince me other wise, but this will forever be my favorite filmall and here is a list ofreasons why

There's something for everyone

In The Princess Bride, there's pirates and princesses. There's Andre the Giant and a Sicilian. There's fighting, romance, and death. Rodents of unusual size and so much humor. If you can not get behind at least one of these things, then there's something wrong with you.

The movie is incredibly quotable

The best thing about The Princes Bride is that it is so quotable. Here's a few of my favorites

"As you wish"

"Anybody want a peanut?"

"Life is pain. Anyone who tells you differently is selling something"

"Have fun stormin' the castle"

"Inconceivable!"

"My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

And this is only the beginning of some of the greatest quotes from this movie.

This is one of the best book-to-movie adaptations of all time

After watching this movie for most of my life, I decided to read the book. And it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. The Princess Bride is 493 pages long (that's more pages than the first three books in the Harry Potter series) and I feel like they were able to put at least 90% of the entire book into the film. There is only thing that they left out, that I wish had been included in the film. In the book, there is an entire chapter talking about how Prince Humperdink has this zoo. In the zoo, there's five different levels. He has this place, so he can practice killing things. I thought this was pretty important, because it revealed a lot more about him as a person, and more about his character.

It does not fit into any genre of film

I love the Princess Bride because it does not fit into one category. I feel it kind of just falls into its own little place. It could be considered romance, or action. Adventure, or even horror at parts. There's so much it offers, that it is perfect for any movie marathon



I could probably talk about this film for hours honestly. To me, this is the greatest film of all time, and nothing will be able to replace its special place in my heart.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
