Looks like Amazon matched the Apple deal on this one.

For those that love the book and want to hear some great stories about production and some really funny stories from the actors, check out "As You Wish". This is one of the books I would recommend people listen to on audio rather than read. Probably available through your local library for free on Overdrive.

Not MA... Drat
One of the best movies of all time in 4k and this cheap...?


Inconceivable!


Had to do it. 🤣
This is one of my litmus test movies that determine whether or not I can even be friends with someone. A "classic" seems inadequate to describe this film.

$5 on iTunes right now

The Princess Bride by Rob Reiner https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie...d263952053
Ooh I have it on Vudu in 4k but since this is my favorite movie ever, I'm tempted to buy it on iTunes also. Just because.

If you tell me there are great iTunes extra features I just might.

Has this ever been MA?

I own four different physical copies/versions of this (in DVD and Blu-ray, and maybe even a VHS copy somewhere, lol), so have been waiting for it to go MA before buying digital... would prefer the 5th time I buy this to also be the last. Smilie
Ditto.. though if you haven't read the novel, you're missing out. It's comedy gold.

Quote from Shake-N-Bake :
It's not a movie-by-movie basis. This will never "go MA," unless the studio decides to parter with MA at some point. Studios such as Paramount, Lionsgate and their subsidiaries are not affiliated with MA, so their entire catalogs are not compatible with MA, and never will be without that partnership.
Wiki says TPB is distributed by 20th Century Fox (in the US):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The...ide_(film)

And if you do a Ctrl+F search, they're mentioned (twice) in the Wiki entry for MA:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movies_Anywhere

And I'm *probably* wrong, but I could have *sworn* that TPB was offered as a MA title at least once previously, but... I haven't been able to find proof of this, so it might be something kind of Mandela Effect-ish.


Edit: Never mind... it looks like someone has asked this question before on the Blu-ray Forums:
https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthr...p?t=326497
It's actually an MGM film, and is apparently available via Disney+.


Edit2: Even weirder... I apparently already own it on Vudu, but:
a.) It wasn't in my Google Sheets big ol' list o' movies when I looked for it earlier; and,
b.) It didn't show up earlier in MyVudu when I looked for it 'manually', or when I searched for it in there... but when I searched for it via Google and went to the page for TPB, I saw the green 'Watch' button, and it said I owned it in UHD.

You *are* the Brute Squad! Smilie

That's because Prime Video is the worst. iTunes is the best. Then Vudu. I avoid Prime Video at all costs.

Amazon video titles never come with bonus features unless it says "with bonus features" in the title. Not all titles have both versions. But even if it does, it sells them separately and if you happen to fall on the non-bonus version, it doesn't tell you there's a version with bonus features. To illustrate, here's two separate versions of Frozen, one with and one w/o extras:

https://www.amazon.com/Frozen-Plu...deo&sr=1-5

https://www.amazon.com/Frozen-Kri...deo&sr=1-2

In Princess Bride's case (like a lot of the older titles), they don't sell a version with extras. Even if it did, I would choose iTunes or Vudu over Amazon because Amazon bonus features are tacked on at the end of the movie, not as separate videos (see the different run times of the two Frozen videos) . So you have to watch/fast fwd through the whole movie to access the extras. You also can't download just the movie if you own the bonus feature version because the extras are part of the file.

For those who want more behind the scenes look of the film, checkout the book "As you Wish - Inconceivable Tales from the making of The Princess Bride" in audiobook that features interviews and narration by the people who made the film like Cary Elwes, Rob Reiner, Robin Wright and Billy Crystal. Not part of the movie purchase but well worth it (or look for it at your local library).

Sadly no, though not really sadly for me as I can't stand this film, but I would never buy a digital movie lol. I do collect physicals I just can't see paying for digital copies ever.
This Humperdinck sure got deep into a thread about a digital version of The Princess Bride just to comment that he hates both.

Non 4k but the film streams on Disney+ if you have a subscription. I mention because as a non Disney film you might not think to check this platform for it instinctively. Not enough fox movies stream there yet…
