Secondly, our chance to influence the item.
What we have here are two possible covers for the film. Over on their Facebook page, we get to decide which of those two will be picked. Personally, I like the classic a bit better, but the crown does have a few decent touches. So, go vote, then come back here and tell us what you decided.

Personally I like the second since in the movie the story is being read to the kid. It adds to the whole idea that what we’re seeing is what is being imagined as the story is told (at least that is how I’ve always seen it).
“Have fun storming the castle!” I have used almost as many catch-phrases from P.B. over the years as I have from Ferris Buller, Animal House, The Blues Brothers and Stripes. A true classic.
First BEST MOVIE EVER, I kill 2 VCR tapes from over playing this move. I voted for the 2nd one, I like that most of the charterers are on there and it fits the story a little better. I already have a Blu-Ray copy but I may have to get this one the extra’s look outstanding. The Audio Commentary by William Goldman is a nice touch; I have his hardcover book The Princess Bride (The “Good Parts” version).
“Stop all this rhyming I really mean it!”
“Anybody want a peanut”
Alleyoop!

*Come on, that’s a gimme.
Never get in a land war with Asia!
