In this episode of High Expectations, we continue our In Memoriam series by honoring Rob Reiner with a look at The Princess Bride. A film that blends fairy tale sincerity, sharp comedy, and endlessly quotable moments, it has earned its place as a true cult classic.

Through the High Expectations lens, we examine why the movie works so well, from Reiner’s confident direction to its perfect balance of heart and humor. We reflect on what this film says about Reiner’s legacy and why it remains timeless decades later.

As you wish.
