Release date: 07/21/1989
Runtime: 96 min
"When Harry Met Sally..." is a romantic comedy from 1989, directed by Rob Reiner. The film is about the two protagonists Harry (played by Billy Crystal) and Sally (played by Meg Ryan), who meet by chance after graduating from college together and from then on maintain a platonic friendship for several years.
The plot of the film is characterized by the recurring discussions between the two main characters about whether men and women can really just be friends, or whether there is always a romantic component involved. Amidst these debates, a love story unfolds, but slowly and carefully.
The film is particularly known for its iconic scene at the Katz's Deli restaurant in New York City, where Sally demonstrates to Harry how a woman can fake an orgasm.
The chemistry between Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan is excellent and the dialogue between the two leads is witty and intelligent. The supporting cast such as Carrie Fisher as Sally's best friend and Bruno Kirby as Harry's best friend also enhance the film.
The camerawork by Barry Sonnenfeld is also remarkable and gives the film a warm, nostalgic atmosphere. The score by Harry Connick Jr. adds to the mood and gives the film a touch of jazz and romance.
"When Harry Met Sally..." is a delightful romantic comedy that is both funny and heartfelt and is still considered one of the best films in the genre. The film was also nominated at the 1990 Oscars, but failed to win any of the nominations in the Best Screenplay and Best Actress categories for Meg Ryan.

Movie Quotes
"I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."
