Welcome to the eighth edition of our Essential Eighties movies series. It's actually quite inconceivable that we've waited this long to feature "The Princess Bride" as it is probably one of the best movies of all time. It features a dizzying array of talent - Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Mandy Patinkin, Andre the Giant, Wallace Shawn, Peter Falk, Fred Savage, Chris Sarandon, Billy Crystal, Carole Kane, Christopher Guest, etc etc, and is directed by Rob Reiner, based on the novel by William Goldman AND featuring a fabulous soundtrack by Mark Knopfler ("Storybook Love" was actually written and performed by Willy DeVille, which I didn't know until now). It's the story of love, true love, as Westley seeks to reunite with Buttercup and the obstacles he faces and the people he meets. There are so many classic lines in this movie, we didn't quite know what to name this cache. Our choices included
Inconceivable!
Have fun storming the castle!
I'm not a witch, I'm your wife!
Is this a kissing book?
I'm not left-handed!
When I was your age, television was called books!
Everybody MOVE!!!!!
As you wish...
Farm Boy!
My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
But we ended up with the first half of the following dialogue, as the second half is obvious at GZ:
No more rhymes now I mean it!!! Anybody want a peanut?
IF you haven't seen this movie, you must. There's one scene that has aged very poorly (Westley's response to Buttercup assertion that she has loved more deeply than her pirate captor ever has), but overall it's fabulous. If you haven't read Cary Elwes's book "As you wish: inconceivable tales from the making of the Princess Bride" try finding it at your local library or bookstore. It's a great read.
I don't work for the store or anything, but the nearby peanut store has many delicious snacks in it. There is parking in the lot, but try to be inconspicuous as a good cacher should. The cache is NOT hidden in the train out front and the coordinates should take you nowhere near it.
