I first saw this movie...
At home, circa 1990
Why I love it...
It's a classic story- filled with adventure, comedy, over-the-top characters and situations, and of course true love (or bluffing, depending on what you hear). So many good things going on here it's hard to sort it all out.
Mandy Patinkin is one of the most under-rated actors of our day and he is top-notch in this film. Billy Crystal only needs a ten minute role to be one of the best parts of the whole film. He can do no wrong when being directed by the genius of Rob Reiner. It is my favorite kind of comedy.
But my personal favorite part- Peter Falk as the grandfather. He brings a charm and heart that no one else can.
It's a movie for all generations.
