I met my wife back in 1989, and we were friends for eleven years and finally started dating in 2000. We were engaged six months later and married a year after that. This October we'll have been married for 21 years... So Harry met Sally is our favorite Rom Com...
Nora Ephron wrote "When Harry Met Sally" - she also wrote and directed "You've Got Mail" and "Sleepless in Seattle"
That makes sense.
Very few perfect movies out there. This is one of them. Great script, great acting, great direction, and great music (that Harry Connick Jr. soundtrack is awesome). One of those genre defining movies.
👍
"When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."
I love that line.
One of my best friends used that line is his wedding vows this year!
The "pecan piiiiie" scene was improvised, and when Sally looks off to the side when Harry asks her to repeat, it was actually Meg Ryan looking at Rob Reiner to see if this was serious as she thought it was so silly.
You HAVE to do The Princess Bride. Rob Reiner directed that one and it is the sweetest movie you could ever see. Tons of quotable lines from it too
Rob Reiner started his directing career with a string of well-received films including the hilariously brilliant "This Is Spinal Tap", "The Princess Bride", "Stand By Me" plus the three you've seen ("Misery", "A Few Good Men" and this one). I'm sure eventually you'll be doing those three! ("The Sure Thing" is another one). Alas his winning streak came to a spectacular ending with the stinker "North", lol.
The Sure Thing is a criminally underrated film. It’s every bit as good, if not better, than his well known films.
@@bunpeishiratori5849 I've seen "The Sure Thing" dozens of times. I still quote lines from it 40 years later. It's in my top 5 all time favorite movies. ua-cam.com/video/S9UKlgvFnFI/v-deo.html
My favorite RomCom............."I'll have what she's having" is one of top 10 lines in movie history......Wonderful reaction. Thanks for posting..........
Definitely a ROM-COM GOAT. There are so many great one-liners and character depth.
Meg Ryan should have gotten an Oscar for that deli scene alone.
Carrie Fisher is also great in "The Burbs" (comedy/horror) with Tom Hanks and 'The Blues Brothers' with John Belusi and Dan Ackroyd she also wrote a movie (and book) loosely based her life "Postcards from the Edge" starring Meryl Streep and Shirley MacLaine. Her mom (Debbie Reynolds) and daughter (Billie Lourd) are also actors and her Dad was a actor/singer (Eddie Fisher)
The first romcom as we currently understand the genre (though not the first romcom in movies ever, of course. That's probably "It Happened One Night", 1935). Glad to see "I'll have what she's having" is still a funny line for folks who haven't seen this movie. Makes me feel less old-fashioned. :)
One of my favorites! I was surprised when I first saw It Happened One Night to have the comedy it did
I am sure others have mentioned but the 'I will have what she is having' woman is Rob Reiner's mother. That scene was shot at Katz's Deli in Lower East Side of Manhattan. Not only have I been to Katz's but one visit actually sat at the very same table, and thus ended up in several dozen tourist's photos. On another visit to Katz's I got to use the famous line myself when I ordered after my cousin (for the record it was a pastrami with swiss on rye, yum...).
It's always entertaining to watch someone watching "the scene" at the deli. When the movie came out, the talk was about that scene. But the rest of the movie is so good. It's the romcom that others should be measured against.
Rob reiner made wonderful films back to back in 80s and most of the 90s
The person who directed this movie , also directed " MISERY - This Is Spinal Tap - The Princess Bride " among other films as well.
"I'll have what's she's having."
almost as funny as
"...those aren't piLLOWS!!!"
The line" I'll have what she's having"was done by Rob Reiner's mother, the director.
OMG you have to see Casablanca. One of the greatest movies ever, and Rob Reiner, Meg Ryan, and Billy Crystal would all agree. But this is a great movie too. Thanks for sharing it with us :)
Rob Reiner did an interview quite a few years ago and talked about how he cast his mom in the Sally faking it scene to deliver her famous line. He later saw a poll (maybe the American Film Institute) listing the most one liners in film history. In the top five were "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn", "Here's looking at you, kid", "Go ahead. Make my day", ...and he was so proud his mom saying "I'll have what she's having" was right there with them at the top.
It's a fantastically quotable movie (so many hilarious and memorable exchanges), and SO much fun. ❤ It's definitely one of my favorite rom-coms, for sure, and one of my favorite films of all time. Definitely in my top 10, I think.
One of my favorites. It was witty and cute and funny. Glad you enjoyed it too.
Kudos to brilliant writer Nora Ephron..........Meg Ryan's comedic timing was superb
Just stumbled on this, and reading the comments I am floored that not a single person mentions the masterpiece, Annie Hall, with Diane Keaton and Woody Allen.
This is a very good movie, but Annie Hall is top tier brilliant on every single level.
Won Oscars for Best Movie, Best Script, Best Director and Best Actress.
This was no accident. If you haven't seen it, you should do yourself a favor and watch it.
I enjoyed your description of good dialog; not everyone gets that there is a weighted balance there. I try to describe it as speaking the way you wish people would talk: succinct, in turns, and with just the right word occurring to the character just in time to say it. Nora Ephron was a master.
Blush response confirmed … Deli scene is Legendary Meg Ryan.
Good Grief - the climax of the film still gets me in the Feels - saw it in the theater and have watched it annually, ever since. Still feels like the Holidays for this Ex-New Yorker.
🤔 Mad-Tober suggestions - Have you seen Creep Show? Several stories in one Film. You’ll love the Crypt Keeper. 😊
awesome movie and equivalent reaction. Your a gem of a reactor in a sea of them on UA-cam your top tier. You know when to let the movie breath and when to interject without making yourself part of the movie.
Cheers and regards
Thanks for the kind words, Richard💖
The best rom-com. Nora Ephron is one of the greatest screenwriters of all time.
The couples being interviewed were actors but their lines were true stories from the crew members families.
Awesome!!
I have to watch this every year around the holidays. ❤
The woman who says “I’ll have what she’s having” is Estelle Reiner, Rob Reiner’s mother.
Nora Ephron was Oscar-nominated for her original screenplay.
Another RomCom to consider: Heaven Can Wait, stars Julie Christie and Warren Beatty, Beatty also wrote it, directed it, and produced it.
Rob Reiner also directed The Princess Bride, This is Spinal Tap and Stand my Me. There was a decade where everything he did was gold! His mother said the line, "Up have what she's having. "
Thanks for this great reaction clip! Together with the British movie 'Four Weddings and a Funeral', this one belongs to my favourite romcoms.
I admit that I am not a patr(e)on, but since you really seem to like to 'dive into' romance, romcoms, personalities, characters, and even into 'matchmaking' (Carrie Fisher!), you also might want to check out the French movie 'Amélie' (originally called 'Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain'), made in 2001. It's another romcom, and it's a beauty imho.
Along with Cinema Paradiso, my favourite film of all time!
I was addicted to this movie in the 90s; so, as I watched your reaction, I filled in the gaps :). I would have liked to see your reaction to, "I'm a writer, I know dialogue; and that is particularly harsh". It's also when I started to appreciate Jazz, Harry Connick Jr. is a stellar artist. Thanks for the reaction. Lovely way to spend an afternoon.
Don't know if it's been mentioned here yet. But a little movie footnote. The " I'll have what she's having" woman in the diner is actually Rob Reiners mother. Also, suggestion for a scary movie around Halloween I highly recommend 'An American Werewolf in London'
Went on my first date in jr high to see this movie in the theater. Great memories thanks
Katz's Deli, where the "fake orgasm" scene was filmed, is quite possibly the best deli in NY. If you go in there they have a sign above that table that says "This is where Harry met Sally."
you also might like "sleepless in Seattle" and "You've got mail" also with Meg Ryan
I suddenly realized I may be a bit too organizational when I saw this movie for the first time... when Harry says to Sally, "You have all your movies alphabetized and on index cards?" and I thought, "What a great idea!" Lol. Disturbing. 😆🤣
Awesome Movie...... I have LUV'd it since it came out......
Great Reaction Video......
It ended up that Rob Reiner wrote most of the female lines and Norah Ephron wrote most of the male lines. Meg Ryan was also uncomfortable with Billy' ad libbing his dialogue, but he kind of coached her along and she got better at playing against his off the cuff, improv performance.
Lovely reaction, as always. A film you may want to add to your list is Postcards From the Edge, based on the book of the same name, written by … Carrie Fisher! (She may have done the screenplay too, not sure.) it stars Meryl Streep and Shirley McClaine (sp?), and they both do a bang-up job. It’s a comedy with bite. Peace from Ohio … (MacLaine and yes, Carrie did the screenplay. I looked it up.)
If you would like to keep your Rob Reiner streak alive I would highly recommend The Princess Bride another of his classics that is totally different from the three you have already reacted to. By the way the I'll have what she's having lady is Rob Reiner's mother.
For no particular reason, The Witches of Eastwick, With Jack Nicholson, Cher, Susan Sarandon, Michelle Pfeiffer.
I won't give you anymore than that!
Excellent movie, one of Billy crystal's best, top notch reaction, thank you for not pausing and having a comment of everything, makes it more enjoyable to watch, hope to see more, take care!.👍👍
I love this movie. Shoutout for the late Bruno Kirby, too! The first time I saw him in a film was in "The Godfather: Part II" as the young Clemenza.
It was very creative of your editor to include clips during your synopsis.
Sorry I got to your reaction for this a bit late. WHMS was written by Nora Ephron who also wrote You've Got Mail which is a remake of the extraordinarily splendid THE SHOP AROUBD THE CORNER. Also for scary month and an essential Halloween thriller you've got to see 1957's NIGHT OF THE DEMON.
I think rob's first directed moviw may still be his best! A comedy almost completely addlibbed called, This is Spinal Tap!
Your discussion of what makes good dialogue is very interesting to me, as a writer myself. Real-life dialogue might evade or be off-topic. And this film manages that, while also at the same time fulfilling some essential characteristics of a good script. In a play, movie, or musical, dialogue must do at least one of two things, preferably both: 1) dialogue reveals character. 2) Dialogue should advance the dramatic action. That second one is tricky in this case, because our heroes spout dialogue we know (hope?) to be false. We want to see our two heroes become a couple, but their dialogue(s) both advance that action and also hold back that action. It's that push/pull that creates most of the dramatic tension here, and it's also what makes the dramatic payoff so worthwhile, when they finally begin to speak the same language (so to speak!) to each other. Furthermore, as dialogue reveals character, we in the audience are aware just how much these two are hiding their true selves. It's all very masterfully done, from the script to the direction to the actors.
You should check out City Slickers with Billy Crystal. Also, Parenthood is a good comedy too, with Steve Martin.
My favorite all time Rom Com 👍🏻
The movie every friend-zoned person has tried to use on that friend their secretly in love with 😂
I don't like rom coms . That's my sisters thing . But this movie is a gem . Saw it when it came out and love it to this day. Thanks Maddy.
Serendipity is a great rom com too.
Madison, this movie scared the pants off me: MIDNIGHT LACE starring Doris Day and Rex Harrison. Add that to October viewing.
Watch it again, and this time observe the scenery, the background, the clothing, what was considered normal, how relationships where portrayed, the late 80`s "feel" if you will.. It is fascinating how shallow the 80`s are portrayed in movies by the niggling little details people miss because they are just used to how things are today, where the internet exists and tik tok, and people knew what the band Nirvana was.. They didnt when this movie was made... ;)
Remember, no Rob Reiner marathon is complete w/o The Princess Bride.
But what in the world is censoring the word "sex" all about?
Love this review Madison, thanks! Such a classic movie. :)
Please watch STAR TREK! Give it a chance! 🖖
Harry must be the most honest person in politics 😂
My personal favorite Rom-Com.
A Halloween time suggestion: The ‘Burbs with Tom Hanks. Carrie Fisher is in it too. It’s a relatively lighthearted horror comedy.
Recommendation for “Postcards from the Edge.” Carrie Fisher’s semi-autobiographical script.
Hey Madison, only six months late to your reactiion (sorry!) Just wanted to tell you (if someone hasn't already) that the "faking it" scene was shot at Katz's Deli in New York, there's now a sign hanging over the table where the scene was shot that says "WHERE HARRY MET SALLY...HOPE YOU HAVE WHAT SHE HAD! ENJOY!
This is Spinal Tap - Another great Rob Reiner movie.
Scores 11 out of 11.
.
this is a straight up great movie!!👍🤙🤘🤞✌
I love how Sally has gone from the woman who was embarrassed when she accidentally said something about sex too loud in a restaurant to the woman who can fake an orgasm in a deli with aplomb.
Carrie Fisher was in The Blues Brothers.
And Austin Powers.
For another Carrie Fisher role, watch "the Blues Brothers".
I loved your reaction. Given your fondness for this particular trope, I am I right to infer that you're a fan of Much Ado About Nothing? (Any version?)
The writing, of course, was the incomparable Nora Ephron.
My favorite RomCom by a mile .Enjoy !
Hey Madison !! I enjoy your channel.. As many below have mentioned, you have to react to "The Princess Bride" !!! I'm also recommending "Running Scared" (1986) Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines !! (A HILARIOUS cop/buddy flick !)
Good reaction, my friend, but why on earth did you mute the word "sex"? It's an obscenity, UA-cam doesn't block it, so why? Cheers! FYI, the older couples' stories are taken from real interviews, but acted by professional actors.
This is THE romcom
See The Sure Thing---another great Rob Reiner movie where the whole plot is enemies to lovers!
Great reaction, Madison. If you like Rob Reiner I would recommend The Princess Bride or Stand By Me if you haven't seen them yet. I think Carrie Fisher got more involved in writing after Star Wars, which is why you don't see her in many movies.
Carrie Fisher is/was Hollywood’s biggest script doctor for years.
My scary movies: The Omen, Flatliners, The Lost Boys, The Others.
You have golden voice…have you ever tried to do voice artist or RJ on radio station something?
for horror, you must start with "the Exorcist"
It's funny, watching it right now it's seems so funny to me seeing Billy Crystal as a romantic lead. Also, watching it right now it's hitting me like a ton of bricks:: it's so obviously Woody Allen-Diane Keaton influenced! Specifically "Annie Hall". No one does the (insanely numerous) great Woody Allen/Diane Keaton/Mia Farrow movies but they were ubiquitous in the 70s and 80s. One a year. Amazing.
IF you havent seen The Princess bride yet, Check it out. another Rob Reiner masterpiece
Watch ‘The ‘Burbs’. Carrie Fisher’s in it.
Madison, you look so pretty. 💙
Need a good scary movie ? “The Night of The Hunter” (1955) starring Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters & Lillian Gish
the level of not caring comes with age...ask Bill Burr
I can't handle scary movies but i like the spoof movie called Scary Movie. If you haven't seen it then i recommend it. :)
Rob Riener is very much a hit or miss director, but boy does he hit with this one ( as do most of his early films ). No matter how many times I've seen it I always leave with wanting more, as it should be. I miss the days of witty rapid fire dialogue. Perfect film, not a frame wasted. Meg Ryan's performance in that scene is hysterical cresting with a smug smirk picking up the fork, genius.
Good reaction and sum up as always Madison, keep 'em, eh, coming, so to say 😉
Horror suggestions that I'd like to see you take a look at..... Bit obvious the first one, Kubrick's The Shining but everyone's done that.
The Babadook (2014)
Låt den rätte komma in ( 2008 ) ( AKA Let the Right One In )
The Invisible Man (2020)
Every time I see Carrie Fisher in a non-Star Wars movie it's hard to recognize her.
Hi Bisscute! If you're looking for movies in the romance genre to react to, please consider Before Sunrise (1995), Before Sunset (2004) & Before Midnight (2013) - The Before Trilogy, all directed by Richard Linklater and starring Ethan Hawke & Julie Delpy.
Meg Ryan peed in front of me backstage at a U2 concert in the early 2000’s.
Next Rob Reiner movie: Princess Bride
Check out This is Spinal Tap.
My mother tried to use this movie as justification for me to marry a longtime GF, but there were so many complications that the wedding would never happen.
Watch Silver Linings Playbook. The only romance movie I've ever liked
❤❤❤
You would have enjoyed this movie more if you would have watched it after Thanksgiving and between New Years Eve. This is purely a holiday season movie.
Rob Reiner's mother delivered the "I'll have what she's having" line.
