About This Quiz

"Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."  Are there any words more beautiful than those?

"The Princess Bride" has attained cult classic status since its debut in 1987. With a star-studded cast that included Robin Wright, Mandy Patinkin, Cary Elwes, BIlly Crystal, Carol Kane, Christopher Guest and Andre the Giant, the Rob Reiner film didn't do particularly well at the box office when it first came out. But, like a fine wine, the film just got better with age.

The characters, too, are timeless. From the dashing Westley to the swashbuckling Inigo Montoya, which character would you be? Are more likely to be saved or do the saving? Is your wit or your sword faster? Do you know what the word "inconceivable" actually means? Do you use it in everyday conversation? How do you feel about Rodents of Unusual Size?  Would you like to take a vacation along the Cliffs of Insanity?

Are you ready to find out which character you are from "The Princess Bride?" Alright then. "As you wish!"
