The Princess Bride

The Princess Bride narrative ends, unsurprisingly, just as one would expect: Montoya (Mandy Patinkin) defeats the six-fingered man (Cristopher Guest); Westley (Cary Elwes) and Buttercup (Robin Wright) are reunited, and with the help of Fezzik (Andre the Giant), they all escape to live happily ever after. The unexpected result occurs in the framing story: the boy (Fred Savage) asks his Grandfather (Peter Falk) to return the next day and read him the book again.
