- Quotes
Harry Burns: I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because 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.

Everything about this film is perfect. But I have a few things that I think could be better.
Firstly the title of the movie is a bit misleading as I think it can come across a bit sexist to say when Harry met Sally. I mean what year was this film made the 1930's? Are we not to think that Sally did in fact meet Harry Aswel?
Might I suggest a new title for the movie. "When Harry and Sally meet each other" I think this gives a better indication of what the film is about and would make it a much more enjoyable film for people to watch.
Actually I have had another thought the story of the film actually tells the story of Sally and Harry meeting on 3 occasions 5 years apart of each other (spoiler alert)
Sorry I have just read that you should put the words "spoiler alert" before the spoiler so that you don't spoil the film for anyone. I want to apologise for my mistake that lead me to do it wrong.
In light of my new thoughts on the story may I suggest the renaming of the film to "When Harry and Sally meet each other on three different occasions"
One of the many things I loved about this movie was Billy crystal. I just think he is amazing in the movie.
At the beginning of the movie he is quite mean to Meg Ryan and I was thinking he could be called Bully Crystal.
Then when he is in the restaurant if he had ordered a steak he could be called Grilly Crystal
But I love the way he's always making jokes throughout the movie and he should be renamed Silly Crystal.
When it's Christmas time in the film and he and Meg Ryan go for a Christmas tree while it's snowing he looks cold and he could be called Chilly Crystal.
At times in the movie he is being a bit of a Knob and he could be called Willy Crystal
If in the movie he decided to wear one of Meg Ryan's ruffled dresses he could be called Frilly Crystal.
But non of this happened and I am getting sidetracked so I will apologise.
I love the part in the movie when the ogre rescues the princess from the tower that's really powerful stuff.
Sorry that was part of Shrek I watched it on the same evening and I keep getting a bit mixed up on what parts of the movie happened in which film.
I think I will leave the review here. I just hope the rumours of "when Harry met Sally 2" are true as I have been such a lover for this classic for so long.
