This charming romantic comedy stars Billy Crystal as Harry and Meg Ryan as Sally. They meet as new college grads who share a car trip from Chicago to New York. In the city, they go their separate ways, always looking for love but never really finding it. Then, ten years later, they bump into each other in a bookstore, discover they have a lot to talk about, and soon become the best of friends. But they still disagree on one idea: that men and women can never be friends because “the sex part gets in the way." Set in Manhattan in 1989, When Harry Met Sally is a love letter to the city. The film was written by the extraordinary Nora Ephron and directed by Rob Reiner. Bobbie and Judy ask that you watch the movie in advance (available to stream on Amazon). In class, they’ll show you clips, and talk about the themes, the principals, the reviews, and the fascinating backstories of the cast and crew. Get ready for a really fun afternoon!
