I liked Andre the Giant, I liked Montoya (Patinkin), Vizzini (Shawn), and the grandfather (Falk). I guess it's only the two main protagonists that I dislike. You're right- it had its moments!
And Miracle Max and Valerie... "Have fun stormin' the castle..." "You think it'll work?" "It would take a miracle."
So many great quotes from that movie. It's a favourite in our household.
The supporting characters are all sensational, and the two leads are sweet and funny, particularly cary elwes.

He still has it now Wish, and I seriously doubt anyone would blame it on his Ken-Doll looks...
Maybe Husky Ken that shops at Barbie's Big and Tall.

I heard a wonderful story on NPR about a guy who spent ten years trying to track down a piece of music from his insurance people and why he liked it so much. I'll save you the whole story, but it's actually on youtube. An HOUR of it 
Oh and here's some vaguely interesting hold music/chatter, while I was looking for the other one...

Interesting. I hated Grapes and the others like it, and not only read LOTR several times, I re-read Fellowship MANY times, even one Summer aloud to my best friend while we lazed at the local reservoir. All a matter of taste.
And "ditto" in spades what NewOld said about Dune, which I ADORED, but gave up after slogging through the first half of the third follow-up, only having gotten that far by sheer determination and a prayer it would be better than the second.
I'm with Brenda about "anything by Ernest Hemmingway"--ESPECIALLY "Lord of the Flies"! Why do they DO that to young children??? With her, too, about the TV genres she listed…have never seen more than fifteen minutes of any reality show except "Project Runway" which, I freely admit, hooked me perversely for a couple of seasons.
Magons and I are in perfect agreement about Grease and Grease 2. Totally corny, a guilty pleasure.
Along with Wish, I adore Princess Bride and quote from it frequently, as I see others here do as well. I mark that partly down to having instantly developed a mad crush on both Elwes and Patinkin, and following both for years after. Elwes still pops up all over the place; makes me feel old every time I see how he looks now. But thank you, NewOld; I saw and deeply appreciated Cradle long, long ago, didn't remember it was Elwes, will have to dig it up again.
But to list the movies, TV, music I hated MOST would take thinking, there's so many. One thing comes to mind: Psych. I tried to watch it, having respected Dule Hill for his work on West Wing; it was so awful it was embarrassing and I just had to be happy for him that he's earning a steady paycheck and try to forget it…and STILL it went on for years ("is still going on?"). Vague memories of laughing at Waterworld… Oh, and I wouldn't be caught dead watching anything with Mel Gibson; his adoration of maximum violence and gore makes me wonder about his mental health (well, I don't actually wonder, that would take a minute, and given his other "mental-health" indicator (Scientology), obviously be futile…).
As to books I hated, I can say one thing: Vampires! There may be good books out there, but I'm not interested, so when two of my most trusted authors climbed on the bandwagon with stand-alone books to make a quick buck off the "fashion", I was shocked and angry. One of them being David Webber (many, MANY thanx to Frem, we have his every book and they are the ONLY books I don't put up on Paperback Swap when we finish them!).

I dislike most mainstream entertainment,
I really disliked 'reality tv' when it came out, now I just mostly ignore it or manage to avoid it all
tired of the superhero Superman, Fantastic4, Aquapants, Spiderman thing now
but of late anything with that whole Antifa, pro-islamic, gay homosexual lesbian, BLM, pro BLM that constantly wants to take a crap on traditional US values messages.
The Grapes of Wrath and Good Earth are good books, if Wishiway had listened to her mother when growing up maybe she would not be so crazy.
But then again didn't a writer once say All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy and No man does, and that is his. Not that I would place much value in the Homosexual writings of an Anglo-Irish Pervert who had perverted predatory 'affairs' with a boy? Alfred Douglas the son of the founder of the rules of modern Boxing.
Music? I hate most music on the radio but much of it, almost the same shit no matter where you go in the world, the pop rock stuff does have form or chords or basic composition or some kind of harmony, so I guess it is 'musical' but Rap is Low IQ moronic noise filled with dumb hate that rhymes, 'mumble rap' is just brainless and the industry overall it is very plastic auto these days with very few people playing their own instrument.
Tale of Desperaux a kids toon animation with mice, didnt watch
Highlander a tv show and movie, seen some not sure which eps or movies but a franchise where immortals chopped each others heads off but at least the men were still men and not pushing some monkey pox message.
Deuce Bigalow too dumb degenerate probably wouldn't even have watched it in my teenage years
Grease dumb but better than Steven Spielbergs West Side Story 2021 ... oh! criticism of Spielberg ...HOW DARE YOU !

I just found out that Wishy likes The Postman.
Finally found that one thing we have in common.
