Movie-A-Day #12: When Harry Met Sally
Okay, since I have the nickname "Chickflickski", or "Chickler", etc., I figured it was my duty to post a chick-flick.
But this is one of the best chick-flicks of all time I think.
(some spoilers below possibly, but come on, all chick-flicks end the same way
)
A film by Rob Reiner, starring Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan, this is a story of two people who meet over and over again, build a friendship and end up together in the end because they realize they've loved each other the whole time.
First off, the movie wouldn't be close to as good if Billy Crystal wasn't in it. He's hilarious and delivers lines with perfection. Early in the movie when he's talking about how men and women can't be friends is just awesome.
Meg Ryan I think made herself a name from this one, and she's a perfect fit to Crystal in this movie. She has her moments, of course the famous "orgasm" scene, and some others.
But just overall, I think it's a funny movie, but also a good story about how two people can meet and not realize that they should be together for a long time, and eventually end up that way. Maybe it means more to me because my wife and I sort of have a story like that. We met, dated, broke up a few times, and it wasn't for five years after we met that we finally got married.
I know some of you guys like chick flicks as much as you want to say you don't, and this is one of the best ones out there.
