Have Fun Stormin' The Castle

It occurred to me tonight how The Princess Bride must have been the marketing/publicity persons worst nightmare. I mean, the first time I ever saw it was because my family's friend had 2 sons about my age and they had rented it but weren't sure the boys would like it. So I thought I'd come up with some alternate titles that would have been more publicist friendly:

The Man in Black
Never Fight a Land War in Asia
Inconceivable!
Mostly Dead
The Zoo of Death (of course, then they would have HAD to put it in the movie)
The Dread Pirate Roberts

And my personal favorite:
Have Fun Stormin' the Castle

You know, I almost didn't watch the movie because of the title. What a silly choice.
People had to convince me that it was one of the best movies ever. Glad someone made the effort that whoever chose this title didn't make.
