Have fun storming the castle!

Blogging from A to Z Challenge.
Theme: Making movie lines our own.



"Have fun storming the castle!"

The Princess Bride (1987). Classic movie with classic lines. 

Billy Crystal is hilarious in his role as Miracle Max. Clever lines abound in that scene.
"It just so happens you're friend here is only mostly dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead."
 "...with all dead, well, with all dead, there's usually only one thing you can do ... go through his clothes and look for loose change." 
"True love is the greatest thing in the world. Except for a nice MLT - mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich when the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato's ripe..."

But I digress. Today is about the H, so... 
"Have fun storming the castle!"
This one is a regular at our house. I often tell my husband, "Have fun storming the castle!" as he heads out the door.

("Have fun storming the castle" found near 3:09)

This is the second line I've used from The Princess Bride for this challenge (see also "As you wish."). What is your favorite line from the film?

  2. "Inconceivable!"
    "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

    And

    "We are men of action. Lies do not become us."

    And of course,

    "No more rhymes now, I mean it!"
    "Anybody want a peanut?"

    I am one of those obnoxious people that recite every line along with the movie. Will never get tired of rewatching it.
