I want to purchase "The Princess Bride" on DVD but when I looked into it, I found there was
-20th Anniversary Edition
-Special Edition
-Dread Pirate Edition
-Buttercup Edition
and the original, plain DVD. Does anyone know what the difference between all of the editions is and which one is the best buy? Thanks in advance!
The Dread Pirate/Buttercup edition makes the Special edition obsolete. I'd go with one of those.
"By 2000, MGM had acquired some rights to the film (as part of the aforementioned "Epic Productions" package) and released the film on VHS and DVD. The DVD release featured the soundtrack remastered in Dolby Digital 5.1 and both wide and full screen versions as well as the theatrical trailer. In 2001, the film was re-released by MGM as a widescreen "Special Edition" and included two audio commentaries—one by Rob Reiner and the other by William Goldman, "As You Wish," "Promotional" and "Making Of" featurettes, a "Cary Elwes Video Diary", the US and UK theatrical trailers, four television spots, a photo gallery, and a collectible booklet.
In 2006, MGM released a two-disc set with varying covers—the "Dread Pirate Edition" and the "Buttercup Edition"—but identical features. In addition to the features in the previous release were the "Dread Pirate Roberts: Greatest Legend Of The Seven Seas", "Love Is Like A Storybook Story", and "Miraculous Make Up" featurettes, "The Quotable Battle Of Wits" game and Fezzik's "Guide To Florin" booklet.
A year later, for the 20th anniversary of the film, MGM and 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment rereleased the movie on November 13, 2007 with flippable cover art featuring the title displayed in an ambigram. This DVD did not include any of the bonus features from the older editions, but had new short featurettes and a new game."
I have to read The Princess Bride for school but i can't find a website to listen to it on. I tried some that other people suggested but they don't have The Princess Bride. And also is The Princess Bride an uncommon book? It's written by William Goldman.
There's no place online you can listen to the book, but you can either watch the movie or download the audiobook for a price. The cheapest ones I found were these:
This one is $7.95 but free if you get a free trial for the website:

This one costs 10 bucks:

The movie is really good too and sticks pretty close to the book. You can either rent it from a movie store or download it:

If none of these work for you, I guess the only other option is winging it or reading the book! I do recommend the book though, it's really great. Hope I helped at least a little bit! Good luck!
Hello , how would you sum up true love in a paragraph , in the princess bride? And how this element make the princess bride a a fractured fairytale?
It's only fractured if you don't believe in true love. True love can't be summed up in a paragraph and many philosophers and writers have tried. It's something to be experienced, not dissected.
I need to find Jungian archetypes for The Princess Bride to put into my paper.
I must only use Jung's archetypes.
the link details all the Jungian archetypes you can think of from the social outcast to the monster ending in the hero, all you can do is match any character description with the given archetype attributes.
I have to do this huge 5 page report about how the princess bride [the book] has satire. Can someone please help me, I'm completely lost!
It's a satire on other fairy tales.
William Goldman has created an author (S. Morgenstein) and he's retelling a story that's never actually been told so that he can put his comments in about the faults and the problems with fairy tales.
