I watched Harry Meet Sally for the First Time and I realized there was a rom-com theme that I really wanted to see more of

When Harry met Sally is widely considered one of the best romantic comedies of all time, and yet I had never seen it before. I’ve seen almost every other film written by Nora Ephron, but I’ve always been hesitant to watch it because I might end up hating it. Luckily that wasn’t the case and I absolutely loved the film starring Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal. In fact, I liked it so much that it made me realize how desperate I am for slower, friends-to-lovers style romantic comedies.

The 1989 film begins in 1977 when college graduates Sally Albright (Ryan) and Harry Burns (Crystal) decide to carpool to New York City to begin their adult lives, despite only having one friend in common. The car ride is tumultuous to say the least and the two parted ways without exchanging contact information. Five years later, their paths cross when they land on the same flight, but again they part ways without exchanging information.
