The little gem was on TV on Sunday night :wub:

 

Anyone else love this film?

 

I found the book in a bookshop on Monday, so I bought it :cheer:

I saw the end of it. seemed alright. not seen it before, thinking it might be like the Princess Diaries. quite an old film now?

 

however maybe you should have posted this in the retro lounge if its a film and a book, would have been better than all those this day on top of the pops threads.

I love this film Penny It's great fun, and I'm sure I have it on video lurking somewhere in the house. I caught the second half on tv the other day too :)

Just randomly scrolling back through some older posts on this forum, starting from the last page and going up (just to have a gander - not really to post anything), but found this topic and HAD to comment.

 

Such a classic. One of my ALL TIME favourite films! I remember watching this back in year 5 and having to write a letter (must've been for English or something) as if we were Westley! Such a brilliantly done and well made satire film. It also blew my mind when I found out that Dr. Laurence from the 'SAW' movie, was in actual fact Westley in this film. :lol:

 

So yeah, SO MUCH love and nostalgia for this film <3
