I don't know whether BK will be amazed at this or not, but "The Princess Bride" has always left me cold, too.
It's all very watchable. It's not without interest. But it doesn't have any afterglow for me. It goes right out of my mind and the biggest problem, I think, is that it never once enters my heart.
Knopfler's score -- and that gosh-awful song -- DO HARM THIS FILM...enormously.
Another holy grail folks cannot understand my not caring for is "The Godfather."
I see it. I appreciate it. It has its moments. But the overall package, to me, is "Feh"! Brando is "okay" but not, IMO, brilliant. I've always thought that reactions to this film, especially among men, have to do with how they saw themselves, or how they felt about life and their place in it, when they saw it. It's my story (and I'm stickin' to it) that the film revealed things to them they thought only they daydreamed about. It was an escape that fulfilled a fantasy. I have my own films like that that most others guys don't like, either, so it's a draw in that regard.
I "get" "The Godfather II" -- this one is the real deal. But the original is a cold fish for me.
