When Harry Met Sally (DVD)

When Harry (Billy Crystal) met Sally (Meg Ryan) in his early 20s the pair didn't immediately hit it off, they drove from Chicago to New York together and on the way they discussed the fundamental differences between men and women. Sally has a very old fashioned view to love and relationships, opting to believe that men and women can be good friends without sex getting in the way however Harry has a more realistic approach and knows that even if a guy doesn't admit it, if he finds a female attractive he's going to want to sleep with her; friend or not. The two reach New York after their hours of disagreeing and Sally drops Harry off thinking it's the last time she'll ever ...  Read the complete review

This is a amazing film and one of my all time favourites. I just watched this film for like the hundredth time there now and i am still nowhere nearly fed up of it. The story is a beautiful one and it is very sweet. The first time that i watched this which was quite along time ago. I remember thinking even then that it was probably one of the best that i would ever see. It kept me guessing what would happen and i loved the two main leads which were chosen for it. The way that they meet at the beginning is quite comical as are their initial reactions to each other which were even more so. To say that Sally greets harry with hostility at the beginning would be a ...  Read the complete review

note: also appears on Flixster and The Student Room When Harry Met Sally is a classic of the romantic comedy genre, purely because it's a lot more honest than 99% of the films, and actually looks to examine the interplay between genders rather than adhere to the firmly regimented stereotypes of "men are from Earth, women are from Venus".

Harry believes that men and women can't be friends because sex will always get in the way - it's only if the guy is already taken ...  Read the complete review

“When Harry Met Sally” is a love story with a difference, it is about two best friends, and spans over a decade of their lives, loves and loathes over that time.

They share a car en route to New York to start out on their chosen careers of journalism for Sally and politics for Harry. They immediately brush each other up the wrong way, as she is a vocal feminist, and he an unashamed sexist.

This is a film which I have wanted to see for such a long time but have never gotten around to it. When I saw it for a bargain price in Tesco I just had to get it much to hubby disapproval! Sally is introduced to Harry by a college friend as she is driving to New York to try and make it as a journalist and offers to give Harry a life. The 18 hour journey is not a good one for the pair as they find they disagree on so much and the main thing is that men and women cannot be friends as sex always gets in the way. The two finally arrive in New York and say their goodbye's. The film then moves on 5 years and the pair are reunited as they meet when Sally ...  Read the complete review
