A great love story

Rating: 10/10 (17 August 2006)

Harry and Sally first encounter after they both graduate from the University of Chicago and Harry gives Sally a ride to New York.After that the movie shows where life takes these two.They run into each other every now and then and finally become very good friends.But can they keep the whole thing platonic or will it get sexual, even romantic, between them? Rob Reiner's When Harry Met Sally... (1989) is a brilliant example of a fine romantic comedy.It's not kind of romantic comedy you see all the time (not that I watch them all the time), but it's something very different.In this movie you can't tell anything for sure, what will happen to these characters, will they end up together etc.It has got some superb dialogue.You won't hear dialogue like this in too many modern movies.Nora Ephron is behind the brilliant writing.Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan make a terrific leading couple.Billy can be both comical and serious.Meg gives one of her finest performances in this movie.The supporting cast is amazing as well.There's Carrie Fisher as Marie.The director's mother Estelle Reiner makes a memorable visit in the movie.And then there's Bruno Kirby as Jess.I just read on IMDb that this terrific actor died of leukemia a few days ago at 57.I was devastated about the news.I have seen Bruno in so many movies always giving a fine performance.I really admired the man and now he's gone.The best of them always leave us too soon.I suggest you'd watch his movies and see what a great actor he was.Watch When Harry Met Sally... and see what a great movie it is.
