Took me about 15 years to see Cary Elwes again.


I just recently watched the first Saw film and Dr. Gordon looked very familiar. After looking up his film credits, he also played Captain William in "The Jungle Book", which I saw when it first came out.

The Alphabet Killer seems like a good watch. Any one else recommend other films with Elwes?

Definitely 'The Princess Bride'! And maybe 'Twister'...

Also Lady Jane is a very good film of his. The Princess Bride is his crowning glory really but he's also very good in supporting roles and the films are worth watching, in Glory, Dracula and Kiss the Girls although I always kind of felt that the mere fact of him being there at all kind of tips the outcome of the latter - let's just say the twist wasn't much of a twist for me.

The Princess Bride and Robin Hood: Men In Tights are must-sees for Elwes fans. You could also go with Ella Enchanted; he is a delicious villain in that one.

Definitely The Riverman, as he was playing Ted Bundy incredibly well. I had never seen Cary Elwes being so creepy and magnetic, not even in Kiss The Girls as the more experienced of the 2 killers.

Bill Foster: I'm the bad guy?...How did that happen?
