I think with Princess Bride everybody likes the zany humor, but it's the tame language and violence, together with generally traditonal values of loyalty and honor that pushes it to the next level among Mormons LDS.

My seminary teacher used to rant about Grease for being slutty.

I know several Mormons and non who don’t like Grease’s central message

I wouldn't guess religious people would love Grease.

Also, Dirty Dancing. That's got to be on the list.
