When Harry Met Sally



MIMDB score: 7.6
Current IMDB score: 8.0
Director: Rob Reiner
Main Actors you care about: Billy Crystal, Meg Ryan, Carrie Fisher

Why I liked it: This movie consistently makes me question if girls and guys can be friends.  Not every day but probably every other day.  I feel like this movie questions relationships in a way most movies haven't.  It's still cliche in a few places but it's a really good romantic comedy as well as a psychology relationship journey.

I think it is possible for girls and guys to be friends.  It doesn't happen that many times in your life but you have to be attracted to someone's personality but not looks.  You can't be too attracted to the personality.  The other person has to feel the exact same way.  It's not common but it happens.  I have a few friends like that but not a lot by any means.

I also think it goes back to the Closer post about wolves and sheep.  Two wolves can't be friends with the other sex.  A sheep and a wolf probably can't.  Two sheep have the best possibility I would think.

Thing(s) I would change:  That wagon wheel table is not that bad.  I almost bought one of those after seeing the movie.  As long as there is glass over it I don't see the problem.

Maybe though the question of if a girl and guy can only be friends should not be asked.  That might lead to you question your girl/guy friendships when you shouldn't.  Time will probably make you question all your girl/guy relationships anyway.

Favorite Line(s)/Scene:
All the older couple interviews are awesome.  They make you smile in a good way.

"But I would be proud to partake in a piece of your pEEcan pie, PEECAN PIE!"

When he spit the grape on the window instead of out the window is so well done.  Great way to start that character.

Similar Movies/TV Shows: A Lot Like Love

"Side" note:  The Pecan Pie scene in the Met was improvised!  Meg Ryan didn't even think it was serious as she looks a the camera after one of the lines by Billy.  It makes that scene that much better.
