When Harry Met Sally...

Make some popcorns, if you are allowed, have a glass of wine, sit comfortably and enjoy this nice romantic movie. I guarantee you won't be bored, there are so many comedy scenes that will make you laugh out loud. 

It is not often this type of movies get so many nominations and awards,"When Harry met Sally..." should be proud with countless of them: Oscar nominee for Best Writing ( Nora Ephron), Golden Globe nominee for Best Motion Picture, Best Director( Rob Reiner), Best Performance by an Actress (Meg Ryan), Best Performance by an Actor (Billy Crystal) and Best Screenplay, The Best Screenplay winner of the  BAFTA Film awards...

HARRY ( Billy Crystal)
"...in any way, shape or form-- is that men and women can't be friends. The sex part always gets in the way".

SALLY (Meg Ryan)
"That's not true. I have a number of men friends and there's no sex involved"

It's a story about two different people- Harry (Billy Crystal) who has a very strong opinion about relationship between man and woman and his opposite- Sally (Meg Ryan ) is open mind,  thinks that friendship between opposite sex is very common thing. There is obviously a strong connection between each other but they never show it, both are trying to hide their feelings, because they know each other for many years and they manage to built a strong friendship. As you can see it is not only friendship between them, will it develop to something more? 

There is a very famous Meg Ryan role in this movie, in my point of view, her break through performance that made her huge, is the scene when Sally and Harry are in a diner and she wants to prove that women can fake an orgasm pretty well. So she imitates it in front of Harry and  other  people around. It's magnificent scene with superb comedy elements at the end.

Beautiful soundtrack, perfectly suits this movie, by Louis Armstong :



Wait a bit, it's a beautiful movie to watch on Christmas Eve.
