My favorite movie too!! I'm old so forgive me for not recalling Billy Crystal's name as a healer. I love it when he says "there is dead," and then there is partly dead." Even though wobbly Wesley manages to rise again!!

Miracle Max, I think.

I'm guessing you haven't read the book.

Am I the only one who loves the introduction on how the book was created. It was his favorite book as a kid and looked everywhere for a copy.

I feel like I need to re-read the book and watch the movie again!

In the book, Buttercup was a complete, blithering idiot.

Weird rumor I heard recently. Somebody claimed that the William Goldman version was the original, and he made up all that stuff. Do you believe that? Anyways, I'll love it either way!
