Times Watched: About 10

My Experience: This is one of the movies I took home to watch by myself when I worked at the video store, mainly so I could finally not be confused whenever I heard people yelling “Inconceivable!”. I’m glad I did. And the more I see it, the more I enjoy it, especially when watching it with others. The casting choices here were insanely good. Elwes and Wright make a perfect fairy-tale romance team. Wallace Shawn nails his role. Andre the Giant? Come on, that’s inspired. Carol Kane… I had a T-shirt made for my better half that says “I’m not a witch, I’m your wife!”

I can’t believe this didn’t get nominated for best adapted screenplay.
