What do Norman Jewison’s Moonstruck and Rob Reiner’s The Princess Bride have in common? Not a lot. They are both romantic movies with comedic elements, but I wouldn’t necessarily call The Princess Bride a romantic comedy. It’s such a hard movie to classify that it was difficult to find a movie to pair it with so it ended up getting stuck with Moonstruck by default. It may be a stretch, but you could argue that both movies have fairy-tale qualities about them. I don’t care if you don’t buy that rationalization, I’m sticking to it! ;)
