Rob Reiner’s 1987 The Princess Bride begins with a boy home sick from school (Fred Savage) whose grandfather (Peter Falk) reads him a storybook: Buttercup (Robin Wright) is about to marry Prince Humperdinck, though her heart belongs to Westley (Cary Elwes), when a pirate, a vengeful Spaniard and a good-natured giant intervene. William Goldman adapted his own novel. Shown on 35mm in Cult Cinema Tuesdays.
