So, I guess I'm the only Hoosiers fan out there. lol. Although I didn't vote for the Princess Bride, I am a big fan of the movie. My favorite scene is the poisoned cup scene. :D As far as Star Wars, The Return of the Jedi is most certainly the best. It was the first Star Wars film I saw ironically.

Argh at the new page.

I was not joking. I find that film (The Princess Bride) loathsome.

Why exactly do you find the Princess Bride loathsome, K1?


I, personally, liked that movie over any Indiana Jones movie. In fact, the Princess Bride was a favorite of ours for a long time. I can still pretty much quote it word for word, movements, sound affects, and songs included :D

'The Princess Bride' beat 'Back To the Future' and 'The Terminator' and o.O?
