The Princess Bride (1987)

Sentimental? Me? On Valentine's Day? Nooooo. Not at all. I'm not like tearing up and shit. Not at all. I'm like not one to cry you know. I'm made of rock. I'm an emotionally stunted bastard. It's all good. What's Princess Bride about? It's a fairy tale. A grandfather comes and visits his sick grandson and reads him this wonderful amazing book that his father used to read to him, and his father's father used to read to his father and so on and so forth. It has become a cult classic since its release back in 1987 and for good reason. Our story is about Buttercup who orders farm boy Westley around until she realizes that every time he's taken her command he's replied with 'as you wish'. He really means 'I love you' every time he says it, and so, they fall in love. 

One day Westley leaves to seek his fortune so they can marry, but he never returns. She gets words that he has been killed by the dreaded captain Roberts, and so is heart broken. However, despite her sorrow she is forced by the Prince to marry her. What Buttercup doesn't know is that the Prince intends to murder her to ensure there will be war, letting her get kidnapped, but some masked hero seems to be pursuing her and her captors. 

Clever dialogue. Poorly written female character, I'm afraid, but the charming aspects of this story wins me over every time. It also helps that Cary Elwes is like super hot in black.
