When Harry Met Sally...

it's about old friends <3

Funny, clever, charming, sweet and touching, this film is absolutely wonderful!

The dialogues between Harry and Sally are very funny! Fantastic performances by Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan. The chemistry between the two is great.
Beautiful cinematography over New York City and perfect soundtrack for every scene.

When Harry Met Sally... is certainly one of the best romantic comedies ever! Loved it.

If this isn't #relashionship goals then I don't know what it is.
Absolutely my favourite romantic comedy movie, and maybe I'm biased but I don't see anything bad in this movie. It's funny, and it got a little bit of angst, and it's about a healthy relationship between people who respect each other, and took their time to get love each other in every way..
Aahh, I hope I met my Harry one day.

The script is perfect and they're both incredible. Now, THIS is a romantic comedy!

One of the best rom coms of all times. The purest, cutest idea of the old couples' interviews is pure love.

can't beat meg ryan faking an orgasm!!!!

I meet Harry and Sally every few years, and I fall in love with them all over again.

A clever, unique and enjoyable rom com.

To my mind this is the spiritual successor to The Apartment. Great dialogue - very witty, brilliantly timed, honest and casts both he and she on equal planes.

Though it clearly wear its influences on its sleeves, it inspired a generation of rom-coms.

They struggle to have the same level of script that this film has, and the interspersed clips of couples are inspired. It's impossible to not have your heart melt with each one.

Fresh out of school, a pair of young adults with a mutual friend take a long road trip to New York City. The common acquaintance doesn’t stick in either of their lives, but the content of their time-killing conversation sure does. He’s callous and cynical, she’s composed and idealistic, and when the subject shifts to romance, they both get off on the wrong foot. She thinks platonic friendship is possible between the sexes, he confidently disagrees, and that’s a conflict they just can’t move past. The first impression is so bad, they both allow it to color a decade’s worth of terse social interactions. While chance and coincidence place them, repeatedly, in the same room (or row of airline seats) over the ensuing years, they each fight the inevitable, even as their rare romantic compatibility grows obvious.

Reminiscent of _Annie Hall_, both in its timeless portrayal of a complicated relationship and its heady mix of prickly truths with pointed punchlines, _When Harry Met Sally_ still feels contemporary, thirty-five years after the fact. Society might be enamored with fast paced dating apps nowadays, but the secrets of lasting love remain unchanged. It’s all about the interplay, about finding a partner who can challenge us to improve without upsetting the cart, and about taking the leap of faith necessary to open up and share our inner selves with someone who might just reject us out-of-hand. Harry and Sally both make such attempts in New York, with mutually disastrous results, but the failed risks finally give them something new to commiserate over. A fresh slant on the topic that split them so many years prior. As they ease into exactly the sort of strictly-platonic friendship that Harry once insisted was impossible, they grow closer; relaxing and revealing themselves without even realizing what they’ve done. It’s a beautiful change to observe, two spirits in simpatico, even as their artificial boundary (JUST FRIENDS) stands in the way of a total revelation. Eventually, they’ve gotta deal with that elephant in the room.

I loved this. Billy Crystal’s style of comedy isn’t always for me - I usually associate him with an exhausting flood of quick-hits and dad jokes - but Nora Emphron’s script and Rob Reiner’s direction keep his brasher tendencies in check and Meg Ryan serves as his perfect counterpart. Once they give each other that long-sought second chance, the two are wonderful together. A harmonious set of conversational sparring partners that can poke and tease each other without losing their smile. I couldn’t wipe the grin from my face, either. Sharp, witty and often laugh-out-loud funny, this also serves as a valid observational / confessional piece (a sort of on-screen therapy for the unhappily divorced Reiner) that should strike home for jilted romantics of any generation.
