Starring a bizarrely miscast Sissy Spacek as an overworked mom (the woman cast as Stephen King's killer Carrie plays a Jamie Lee Curtis-esque harried mom role), Trading Mom is an unspectacular 90s kids movie notably mostly for being Andre the Giant’s last onscreen role. Although slated upon its initial release (earning an almost-impressive spot on ...
Also known as Chinese Puzzle For Judoka, this long-forgotten 60s curio is easily the most obscure title on Andre the Giant’s screen CV, as well as the first film to feature the performer as an actor. While there’s nothing wrong with the fun James Bond-style spy flick, it mostly earns a low spot on the actor’s career rundown due to how small the Gia...

The first fantasy adventure to feature Andre the Giant, Conan the Destroyer was a rare case of a sequel that improved on the original movie across the board. Less violent than the original Conan the Barbarian released two years earlier, this star vehicle for Arnold Schwarzenegger introduced more magic, goofier humor, and a sillier sense of adventur...
Easily the finest film and strongest performance on Andre the Giant’s screen CV, The Princess Bride is a classic fusion of romance, fantasy, comedy, and adventure. One of a string of incredibly strong releases from director Rob Reiner, who preceded the film with Stand By Me and When Harry Met Sally and followed it with Misery and An American Presid...
