This is not just a rom-com that narrates a love story but, instead, changes it. Watching Harry and Sally through 12 years of lost chances, this film captures the beauty of growing love from a base of friendship. With Billy Crystal's sarcasm and Meg Ryan's quirky sweetness, this is an absolutely refreshing match. The film's most iconic moment—the diner scene—was so powerful that it reportedly enhanced tourism to Katz's Delicatessen in New York. With sharp humor and an authentic portrayal of relationships.
