When Harry Met Sally is the absolute quintessential Rom-Com and has set a precedent for all films of the same genre. This is Meg Ryan at the pinnacle of her career alongside the always funny, always charismatic Billy Crystal. It’s a realistic story looking at the growing relationship of the titular characters – starting off as barely acquaintances in college who go their separate ways on bad terms, only to later in life encounter each other numerous times in New York until they develop a friendship. A trialling question then comes about as to whether sex would ruin their newly found bond.

There are so many memorable scenes scattered throughout the story which gives When Harry Met Sally that extra distinctive flair above other romance movies – whether it’s Harry and Sally talking in funny voices or publicly singing Oklahoma karaoke or the final emotional climax when Harry declares his undying love for Sally. And who could forget the infamous orgasm scene which lead to one of the best movie quotes of all time – “I’ll have what she’s having”

From the jazzy soundtrack to the Autumnal New York place setting, When Harry Met Sally is a complete comforter. It highlights the joys of friendship and love and it’s not too hard-hitting either making it a light-hearted viewing with two very likable characters to explore the themes of romance and dating.
