That's the same cover in both picks, just turned 180 degrees.
The way they did the title lettering to read the same both directions is pure genius.
Love the movie or hate it, it's a pretty sweet cover.

That's pretty bitching. I'm into designing fonts and lettering, so this is pretty sweet to see.

Wow, that is pretty damn creative. Now I'm inclined to buy that just for the cover art.

That's called an ambigram. First time I saw something like this was in a collection of Douglas R. Hofstadter essays called Metamagical Themas. Here's an ambigram that reads "dr hofstadter":

Yeah, I have the original dvd release, so I never bought this. Very cool, though.

Oh wow. I hated that cover until I noticed the upside-down thing. That's so well done it's hard to notice.
Interesting fact: Princess Bride is one of the few cases where the movie -is- actually better than the book.

I did something like that when I was bored in philosophy class a while ago. It's "Descartes" mirrored vertically.
