The Contraband
A free screening of the film, “The Princess Bride,” will be held at 3 p.m. Saturday, March 5, at Cinemark Movie Theatre as part of the 2016 season of Banners at McNeese State University.
This beloved classic fairytale begins with a grandfather reading his favorite book, “The Princess Bride,” to his hard-to-impress grandson. This book, he promises, has everything – “Fencing. Fighting. Torture. Revenge. Giants. Monsters. Chases. Escapes. True love. Miracles.”
And all that he promised comes to life before the boy’s enchanted eyes as his grandfather reads him the adventures of Buttercup, the most beautiful woman in the world, and Westley, the man she loves.
Directed by Rob Reiner, this 1987 film was not a major box-office success, but it became a cult classic after its release to the home video market. “The Princess Bride” was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song.
