The ‘80s fantasy classic, about the vivid characters of a children's storybook, is the first of this semester's Midnight Movie series at the Browning Cinema. Spawning such classic lines as "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die"; "As you wish" and "Have fun stormin'da castle," "The Princes Bride" is the perfect way to cap off your Saturday night.
Sunday
A Fantastic Afternoon with Georges Melies
Browning Cinema
$3
3 p.m.
Pioneering filmmaker Georges Melies was the subject of Martin Scorsese's Oscar-nominated "Hugo." See why the famed director loves Melies' work so much. An innovative director who explored the possibilities of the film medium by creating fantasy films, Melies' films are wondrous to behold even a century later. A screening Saturday at 3 p.m. will feature a collection of the director's short works, while the Sunday program will present his most famed film, "A Trip to the Moon," and a documentary about its creation, "The Extraordinary Voyage."
