In this regular feature series on some of the most talked-about films, we examine the legacy of classics, re-evaluate modern blockbusters, and revisit some of the most memorable lines in film. We continue this week with the best quotes from 1987’s The Princess Bride . 1. Buttercup (Robin Wright): “You mock my pain!” The Man in Black (Cary Elwes): “Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.” 2. Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin): “You seem a decent fellow. I hate to kill you.” The Man in Black (Cary Elwes): “You seem a decent fellow. I hate to die.” 3. The Grandson (Fred Savage): “They’re kissing again. Do we have to read the kissing parts?” 4. Vizzini (Wallace Shawn): “He didn’t fall?! Inconceivable!” Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin): “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” 5. Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin): “Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya! You killed my father! Prepare to die!” 6. Buttercup (Robin Wright): “We’ll never survive.” The Man in Black (Cary Elwes): “Nonsense. You’re only saying that because no one ever has.” 7. Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin): “Who are you?” The Man in Black (Cary Elwes): “No one of consequence.” Inigo Montoya: “I must know.” The Man in Black: “Get used to disappointment.” 8. Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin): “I do not mean to pry, but you don’t by any chance happen to have six fingers on your right hand?” The Man in Black (Cary Elwes): “Do you always begin conversations this way?” 9. The Man in Black (Cary Elwes): [Drinking from a poisoned goblet] “You guessed wrong.” Vizzini (Wallace Shawn): “You only think I guessed wrong! That’s what’s so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders – the most famous of which is ‘never get involved in a land war in Asia’ – but only slightly less well-known is this: ‘Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line’! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!” [Dies] Classic romcom Amelie is adorable, alluring – but an acquired taste 10. The Grandson (Fred Savage): “Grandpa, maybe you could come over and read it again to me tomorrow.” Grandpa (Peter Falk): “As you wish.” Want more articles like this? Follow SCMP Film on Facebook
