The Movie: Way back in the heady days before Sex And The City, and metrosexuality, the gulf between men and women - and specifically what made each other tick - was as baffling as ever. Rob Reiner's classic rom-com went some way to crossing the language barrier, with Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan portraying the titular best friends tasked with self-helping each other through love's nonsensical maze.

The Legendary Scene: If you've ever had lunch at Katz's Delicatessen in New York City, you've probably never witnessed someone spontaneously burst into an orgasm, fake or otherwise. But for over two decades Sally's (Ryan) over-the-top display of faux-pleasure, which prompted the classic line "I'll have what she's having," has spawned pilgrimages to the famed Jewish deli.

It's undeniably enjoyable to watch Ryan put her pipes to work to convince Harry of what men hopefully already know: Women fake it, mostly because they'd hate to insult you by dozing off when you think you're putting it down like Jodeci. You never are.
