"The Princess Bride"

When it comes to iconic fantasy films, you can't go wrong with "The Princess Bride," which dropped over a decade before the first "Harry Potter" film. Based on William Goldman's book of the same name, the film uses the framework of a grandfather telling his sick grandson the story of Buttercup (Robin Wright), a beautiful young woman, and Westley (Cary Elwes), a farmhand, who fall in love. After Westley is presumed dead after a pirate attack, Buttercup finds herself betrothed to a sinister prince in the mythical kingdom of Florin. But before her wedding, she's kidnapped by a trio of intruders and finds out that Westley is, in fact, still alive. So how do these two lovers reunite? Watch the film to see how their epic saga unfolds.
