Editorial Review:
"Brimming over with style intelligence and flashing wit" (Rolling Stone) this "splendid and irresistible" (Los Angeles Times) film from director Rob Reiner(American President is one of the best-loved romantic comedies of all time. Featuring dazzling performances from Meg Ryan Billy Crystal Carrie Fisher and Bruno Kirby exceptional music from Harry Connick Jr. and an Oscar®-nominated* screenplay by Nora Ephron When Harry Met Sally is an "explosively funny" commentary on friendship courtships - and other hardships - of the modern age (Newsweek)! Will sex ruin a perfect relationship between a man and a woman? that's what Harry (Crystal) and Sally (Ryan) debate during their travels from Chicago to New York. And eleven years and later they're still no closer to finding the answer. Will these two best friends ever accept that they're meant for each other...or will they continue to deny the attraction that's existed since the first moment When Harry Met Sally?System Requirements:Running Time: 96 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY/ROMANTIC COMEDY Rating: R UPC: 883904099567 Manufacturer No: M109956
Nora Ephron wrote the brisk screenplay for this 1989 romantic comedy, director Rob Reiner made a nicely glossy New York story (very much in a Woody Allen vein) out of it, and Billy Crystal's unstoppable charm made it something really special. Crystal and Meg Ryan play longtime platonic friends who keep dancing around their deeper feelings for one another, and Bruno Kirby and Carrie Fisher are their respective pals who fall in love and get married. Ryan doesn't get a lot of funny material, but her performance is typically alive and intuitive, and she more than holds her own with Crystal's comic motor mouth and sweet sentimentality. Reiner is on comfortable ground, liberated from the burden of making serious statements in the lead-footed manner of subsequent features. --Tom Keogh
On the DVD
The Collector's Edition offers seven new featurettes (the previous Special Edition only had one documentary), beginning with a sit-down between director Rob Reiner and writer Nora Ephron waxing nostalgic on how the movie originated: He, recently divorced from Penny Marshall, was a miserable single man, while she was the screenwriter who rejected his initial pitch over lunch ("It was a shame," she remembers, "because we hadn't even eaten yet."). It's easy to see that Reiner is clearly Harry, and Ephron is clearly Sally: He's the squawking chatterbox and she's constantly corrects his memory (Sally's meticulous method of ordering food is also a direct rip-off of Ephron herself). Other featurettes show Billy Crystal's attempts to play Harry (or Reiner, as it were); location filming in New York; the love stories that served as interludes between scenes (again, the counselors-at-camp story is from Ephron's parents); the significance of the film over time; and more discussion on the film's famous question: "Can men and women really be friends?" Most of the stories from the featurettes are recycled in the new film commentary by Reiner, Ephron, and Crystal (Reiner mentions that the "I'll have what she's having" line, spoken by his mother, is in the top 10 of AFI's top 100 movie lines no less than five times overall), but the inclusion of Crystal, who contributed many improvised lines in the movie, makes for a nice easygoing repartee. Fans may be interested to know that Reiner originally thought Harry and Sally shouldn't get together, until he himself fell in love with his future wife on the set, but the most hilarious tidbit involves Reiner storming the production offices and polling all the women on whether or not they "fake it" because didn't believe that really happened. Seven deleted scenes--which were also included in the previous version--and original theatrical trailer round out the set, but Harry Connick Jr.'s "It Had to Be You" music video is missing. Still, the special features are a great look into a romantic comedy that clearly remains a meaningful experience for cast, crew, and audience alike. --Ellen A. Kim

Rating:  - love this movie
this is like a classic movie, I loved everypart of it. And you can watch it over and over again and not get tired of it like some other movies.
Rating:  - Classic
This is one of the few movies I can watch a million times. it makes me laugh every time... Classic. Love Rob Reiner...
Rating: - Favorite "balanced" Romantic comedy ever.
This movie is probably my favorite romantic comedy ever made. It doesn't get old upon re-watching it 10, 20, 50 times. Probably because of the time-lapses in the plot which allows for tons of great seasonal scenery of New York, and the historical accuracy of the periods throughout the decade+ duration of the film.
Ultimately, it's the off and on friendship turning into something more that is undeniably beautiful. I've tried to find other movies in this category, but there just aren't ... Read More
Rating:  - Classic Comedy Should read 5 Star rating
It should be noted, that throughout the film, Meg Ryan gives an Academy Award caliber performance,(surprisingly overlooked by the Academy) and Billy Crystal's masterful comic timing, is as adroit as ever.
Rating: - Thanks!
Great condition! Great price! It arrived in time for me to give the gift. Thanks!!
