These are both fairy tale-type movies, but Donkey Skin is more out there. The Princess Bride has the conventional love story with added humor (and annoying interruptions by whiny Fred Savage). Donkey Skin is about a king who wants to marry his daughter and a magical donkey who defecates jewelry... I don't think the love story in Donkey Skin is all that interesting. It's not about a poor girl who meets a prince, or love fighting against all odds. The movie has a weird charm, I guess. The Princess Bride just has the more involving tale to tell.
