Princess Bride. Every single person I talk to says it's about true love but it's really the most important lesson is to never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line.

    I’m sad he never ended up completing the sequel Buttercup's Baby. I read the sample chapter ages ago and was very excited about it, but I’m pretty sure the author has died since.

    Then again we already have The Fitz and the Fool books by Robin Hobb, which I think hit a lot of the same notes we would have gotten.

    It's about fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles...
