The Princess Bride or The Prince's Bride as I mistakenly thought it was named for most of my life, is a beloved treasure from my childhood. As a kid who didn't to watch PG13 movies until I was 16, I really thought I was getting away with something watching this intense PG movie. If you haven't seen it, there are “Fencing. Fighting. Torture. Revenge. Giants. Monsters. Chases. Escapes. True love. Miracles.” Every other line is something you can quote and the love story will leave you asking your boyfriend to whisper, "as you wish." Even though I've seen it a million times, I never get tired of watching it. Seriously, this movie is a pop culture gold mine. In fact, I just heard it referenced on a TV commercial as I am typing this. Because it is so poplar and well known, I thought it might be fun to test your Brute Squad Knowledge. Take this quiz before the movie to get you in the mood or bring it with you as a "scavenger hunt" during the film. I also included some of the beautiful photos from the Princess Bride's Entrainment Weekly's 25th Anniversary Reunion photo shoot and a link to the Princess Bride site.Movies give us an opportunity to escape our everyday lives and be in someone else's story. Whatever movie you enjoy at the Drive-in this week, loose yourself in the adventure!
