The Princess Bride
In the film, William Goldman’s story is presented with a grandfather reading to his grandson. Thus, the narrative style is preserved and the fairy tale about true love ensues between takes of the sick grandson interacting with his grandfather. Hilarious and adorable, this movie is a cult classic. The American Film Institute included The Princess Bride on its list of 100 greatest love stories.
Pride and Prejudice
