The music in the movie is barely noticeable. It doesn't detract from the movie at all. You won't notice how much of an impact that it does have until you hear the music on its own without the movie playing over it. If you have seen the movie only once, the songs on this soundtrack will conjure the images from the movie. You can almost hear Fezzik and Inigo exchanging rhymes on "The Friend's Song", and the daring climb on "The Cliffs of Insanity".

As you listen to the soundtrack, you'll be seeing the movie in your mind. There are few soundtracks that are so intertwined with the movie that they can elicit such imagery. Knopfler is able to pull off that feat. If you liked the movie, the soundtrack is definitely worth it.

"Good music, but it's not all here", Knopfler is an outstanding composer, but the production team failed us slightly on this CD. One of the tracks has a high-pitched whine in the background that gives me a headache. Also, this is not the same soundtrack that you hear in the movie; it is the same music recorded differently. There are many major differences between the movie music and the soundtrack equivalent... but there's no other way to get the soundtrack, so we'll just have to live with it I guess.

"Princess Bride", The love songs on this album are beautiful, enough to make my heart melt. They capture the true beauty of the love portrayed in the movie. The fight songs are thrilling and the friends and dance songs are joyous, making all want to stand up and dance.

"Storybook love.....", This is a wonderful movie with a wonderful soundtrack. THe ups and downs are captured perfectly. The best part of it is Storybook love by Willy DeVille. Just a beautiful song, so beautiful in fact that we will be using it at our July wedding:)

"If you like this movie, and even if you don't", You'll really enjoy this album. Why? because the music in it just makes you smile. It has it's more quiet tunes and more thrilling tracks, thus making it fit for every occasion--like talking, studying, working, sleeping... or reading The Princess Bride book, even. Just like the movie, this album has everything--from love songs, or themes about friendship, swordfights, enemies, giants, the cliffs of insanity... If you liked the movie, you must own this album. If you don't know the movie, listen to the samples above and find a whole new world of magic.
