THE PRINCESS BRIDE

THE PRINCESS BRIDE

ROB REINER | USA | 1987 | 98 MIN

All Throwback Thursday Quizzo & Movie Events are 21+ Only

Mawage. Mawage is what bwings us togeder tooday. Or rather, it’s what brings us together this month, as we celebrate the real-life fairytale wedding of Lady Markle of Los Angeles and her ginger prince by revisiting this classic story of undying love, mistaken identities, and truly impressive swordplay. Follow along with the kid from The Wonder Years as dashing Westley (Cary Elwes) goes on a quest to win back his true love Buttercup (Robin Wright) from the clutches of a band of petty criminals and the schemes of odious Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon). Along the way, The Princess Bride features many inconceivable twists and turns, a host of memorable supporting characters, and some (but not too many) kissing parts.

Cast: Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Mandy Patinkin, Wallace Shawn

Throwback Thursday: Quizzo & Movie – The Princess Bride is proudly sponsored by The Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts. The first place team – and veritable Dread Pirate Roberts experts — will get a behind-the-scenes look at life on and off the set of the classic film, with 2 VIP Meet & Greet tickets to The Princess Bride: An Inconceivable Evening with Cary Elwes on June 15 at the Kimmel Center. The winners will get premium seating and a photo op with Cary Elwes.

“While younger viewers will sit spellbound at the thrilling events on the screen, adults, I think, will be laughing a lot.” –Roger Ebert


The Philadelphia Film Society presents Throwback Thursday Quizzo & Movie! 

Do you like trivia, nostalgia films, and drink? Then get your friends together to form an awesome Quizzo team (witty squad name required) and put your film and pop culture knowledge to the test at PFS’ monthly Quizzo & Movie!

Every First Thursday of the month, come out to the Prince Theater for a screening of a crowd-pleasing modern classic preceded by a few rounds Quizzo where all questions are about or inspired by that night’s movie. During the film, we will tally up the scores and reveal the winning team as the credits roll. The first-place team and runners-up will win prizes and bragging rights!
