The Princess Bride - Words To Live By

The Princess Bride our favourite picture;
                  I'll say "farm boy, fetch me that pitcher"
                              and with "as you wish"
                              he hands me my dish,
                 giggling reciting our "true love" scripture.

Congrats, Mo! Elf seemed to be a big favorite in this contest along with Ms. Doubtfire but your take on The Princess Bride is priceless.

Hi Maureen, You have chose a modern day classic(At least I think it is). I enjoyed this movie very much. I instantly thought of pro wrestler/actor André The Giant. Congratulations on your placement in the contest:-) Alexis
