The Princess Bride (1987): Why Is This Film Still Loved So Many Years After It's Initial Failure At The Box Office?!

Ben and Rob dive in to the inconceivably good ‘Princess Bride’, Rob Reiner’s classic 1987 fantasy comedy starring Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Mandy Patinkin, Chris Sarandon, Christopher Guest, Wallace Shawn and André the Giant. Buttercup is madly in love with farm boy Westley; unfortunately, things take a turn in their lives when Westley goes out in search of employment and gets attacked by a pirate.

But as a lifelong hater of fantasy, can Ben get in to the wholesome vibes on offer? Who was Andre The Giant when the cameras stopped rolling? What’s with Cary Elwes’ intermittent limp? And what does a human thigh flute sound like?!
