Sad, sad news... Princess Bride was one of my all-time faves, a truly great writer.

Beat me to it.

I find it quite curious that the screenwriter of "All The President's Men" has died during these politically-charged times.

The films I know for certain I've seen are:

All The President's Men
Magic
Misery

Wow. That's it? I gotta check out Butch and Princess Bride sometime. Two films that more people are familiar with than have seen.

He also wrote Marathon Man and Stepford Wives... his credits are inspiring to say the least... two Oscars I think

Butch and Princess Bride are absolute classics.

Yeah, he was a great writer. Ta-ta, mate. The Princess Bride is possibly the greatest story ever.

He was great. RIP.

He was always good on Charlie Rose.

He was an absolute legend. His books on screenwriting are among the few I'd say are essential reading.
