Flawless.

Rob Reiner's "The Princess Bride" is about as close to perfection as any movie I have ever scene. Believe me I RARELY give 10 out of 10 stars to a movie and when I do it has to not only be superb but withstand the test of time. Its been almost 25 years and this movie has never lost a step in its brilliance. The story is completely captivating the locations are breathtaking and the array of emotions that this movie evokes from the audience is sheer perfection. You laugh, you cry, you cheer, and you smile. You couldn't ask for a better cast. Robin Wright Penn and Cary Elwes are top notch. Wallace Shawn is hilarious as the bandit leader Fezig. Andre the giant is such a sweet and gentle soul and Mandy Patinkin is nothing short of miraculous in his performance. Even the cameos in this film are priceless. Billy Chrystal and Carol Kane are so great as "Miracle Max and his wife Valarie" they could have there own sequel. A very young Fred Savage and the always entertaining Peter Falk have tremendously funny and touching scenes as the Grandparent and Grandson. I could go on and on. If you have never scene this movie do yourself a HUGE favor and rent it.
