    I loved watching it in the theater after so many years. It was so much fun when the whole audience spontaneously quoted parts of the film, exactly at the same time.

    I did not have time to go to a movie right now, but this is The Princess Bride. I went to the premiere of this movie in the mid-80's. It became my favorite movie at that time and remained so. Now the special effects are somewhat dated, but the acting, characters, costuming, sets and cinematography will never be. The laughs are there no matter how many times I watch it. I and the friend who accompanied me were very glad we went. This is movie making at its best. Mahalo to the Hana Hou Picture Show.
