'Stardust' enchants

[arrefmak]

So twenty years ago (which in Hollywood years, dear reader, is about a century), the film that surprised everyone with its charm was 'The Princess Bride' by director Rob Reiner.

The film was nominated for a series of awards and won a few as well. It boosted several careers and cemented several characters and quotes in the public media consciousness. It's a film that serves the book well (it should, the author did the screenplay) and the book was quite brilliant and complex.

The graphic novel came first, and the original inspiration was "something I can work on with Charles", so in my opinion the novel version was the first adaptation.
