The Princess Bride
Goldman presents this as an abridgment of a fictional classic, inserting his own commentary throughout a fairy tale about true love, adventure, and the dread pirate Roberts. The frame narrative is brilliant because it lets Goldman comment on the story even as he's telling it, making the whole thing feel like a conversation with a witty friend. The movie is iconic, but the book came first and gave the world Inconceivable.
