This is a story within a story, but all I really love about it is the the Princess Bride story that Goldman’s father read to him (leaving various parts out) and for which he then reads to his son and eventually grandson. There are so many levels of story beyond that (how the screenplay was written, lawsuits not to mention an introduction which nearly bored me away from reading the book) that made me think the movie is good enough for me and will always remain a favorite.
