The Greatest Film Of All Time

My personal opinion of the greatest movie ever made

Sep 12, 2016

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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
