| Princess Bride

Eddie Izzard (Dressed to Kill)

Though.... Italian Job or Mission Impossible II or Mr and Mrs Smith are my favorite action movies.... Strictly ballroom or White Nights or Center Stage are my favorite dancer movies.... Son of Monte Cristo is my new favorite old swashbuckler (closely backed by every Errol Flynn Movie ever made), and Emperor's New Groove, Atlantis, Beauty and the Beast, Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella, and Robin Hood are my favorite children's movies.
