[@blueyeshadow2738]

My favourite thing about this movie is that they don’t fall in love at first sight, at second sight or at third sight. It’s very realistic in that sense

[@RobertMorgan]

harry met sally, 15 years later...

[@alejandrapinto7391]

So realistic!it might happen to anyone!

[@noodle9993]

Same! It’s so cheesy but this is how my parents got together, they went to high school together, my dad was a trouble maker and my mum was a bit of a goody two shoes. Dad joined the navy and mum went to Canada and became a childrens nurse. Mum ended marrying a Canadian man that didn’t work out (they had no kids). She came back to her small town for Christmas and ran into my dad who immediately recognised her. They had know each other since they were 13 and then ended up getting into a romantic relationship in their mid 30s. You never know who you’ll end up with ❤

[@Ykoz2016]

The older couples in the interviews were hired actors, but the stories were real. The screenwriter took them from interviews with real people.

[@taylor5749]

Rob's secondhand embarrassment from that one scene made me laugh hysterically.

[@shainewhite2781]

"Ill have what she's having." The woman who said that line is Rob Reiner's mom in a cameo.

[@Skye_Writer]

This is such a fave for me, because their romance is _earned_ in the truest sense. They didn't look across a room and fall for each other right away, but spend the whole movie dealing with a set of stupid contrivances that kept them apart. They _learned_ to like each other first, and then to love each other. This one is a classic, and I'm so glad you gents enjoyed it.

[@sorcy79au]

Seeing all 3 guys urge Harry and Sally to accept their feelings was so heart warming🥰

[@gracieb.3054]

This is why therapist's say you should marry someone who is also your friend. You need the emotional intimacy of being able to share all your thoughts, feelings, and vulnerability with your partner. It really can happen this way. My husband and I are coming up on our 20th wedding anniversary in June. We met when we both worked as Barnes & Noble booksellers. We were casual friends for 3 years and when I had a bad breakup, he was there for me. We started talking on the phone for hours about relationships and what I wanted but didn't get in the last relationship. It was then we both realized how much we had in common, had similar goals, interests, dreams for the future, and values. We dated and then lived together for 5 more years. Saved for the dream wedding. We've been through a lot of life's slings and arrows together since then. After all this time, I can tell you young guys from experience that it is real friendship that makes it last. 💘

[@Ykoz2016]

Billy Crystal was the BIG name for this movie at the time. He was a famous standup comedian, a popular member of SNL, a movie star with lots of hits, a stage actor, and one of the most popular long running hosts of the Oscar Awards (although that came later). He was a big deal. I know Zuff was surprised that he was a rom com “leading man” but his casting was heavy on the comedy / personality focus of rom com. Think along the lines of Adam Sandler in the wedding singer/ 50 first dates, or Jimmy Fallon in fever pitch (all rom coms with Drew Barrymore). Even Jack Black in the Holiday (since you guys just watched it). This was sort of the precedent. This and Woody Allen films (but let’s not talk about those 😬😂).

[@harryballsak1123]

He got his big start on SOAP playing one of the first opening gay men on TV who was regular member of he cast and who wasn't there just to be the butt of jokes. I mean he was but not just that.

[@rayevarney]

He's fantastic in the comedy City Slickers

[@SC-gp7kt]

I'm a 55 year old woman. I saw this movie in the theater when it came out. It's a great movie! And I love that young people today are discovering it and loving it too!

[@mitchellhp]

Lol It was great to see you all so blindsided by the orgasm scene. That’s definitely the most famous scene from this movie, even for those who’ve never watched it.

[@irenemichelleanne]

LOL their reaction to the scene was hilarious! I was laughing so hard between Rob's I can't watch this and Zuff's I don't get it....

[@hannejeppesen1809]

The older woman that says "I'll have what she is having", is the mother of the director Rob Reiner, married to Carl Reiner.

[@kikipocalypse]

Harry actor Billy Crystal was Miracle Max from The Princess Bride, among dozens of other movies. He was super big when this movie came out.

[@SarahManley]

And Mike W from Monsters Inc.

[@JeffKelly03]

You’ve definitely heard at least a version of that line at the end from Harry. In the episode of Ted Lasso where he convinces Roy to come back and coach, Ted uses a variation among the many, many romcom quotes he throws at Roy. (“When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life coaching with someone, you want the rest of your life to start ASAP.”)

[@outthewindow716]

When they are doing the weird voices at the museum at 16:34, that was mostly improvised by by Billy Crystal and there is even a quick moment where Meg Ryan looks to her right and laughs and she was looking at the director Rob Reiner who was telling her to play along. Also the last interview scene was completely improvised as well. This movies trivia/backstory is really interesting if you would like to know more there is a really good Rewatchables by The Ringer podcast episode about it! Anyway this is my favourite movie, I'm glad you guys enjoyed!

[@CraziJonasFan]

I'm looking for the rewatchables episode and I cant seem to find it, can you link it?

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Many thanks to Zuff, Rob and Bryce! 😋 The person who delivered that iconic "I'll have what she's having" line was the mother of director Rob Reiner.

[@BonnyT]

I screamed "YES" (kinda like one of Sally's in Katz's deli) when you mentioned reacting to Before Sunrise soon! Can't wait! 🎉

[@itss_nattyj]

Me too!

[@cat_96]

Definitely recommend watching While You Were Sleeping!! It's a great movie to watch in between Christmas and New Years. It has Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman in it.

[@Sara01977]

For a Sandra Bullock romcom, I recommend Two Weeks Notice over While You Were Sleeping. I never got the hype over WYWS…I found it kind of boring. Now, 2 Weeks Notice cracks me up!!

I feel the same way after watching these kinds of movies. They gets me in the feels, and then reality hits, and I'm like.... nahhhhh it's better to be single.

I'm soooo here for this. My all-time favourite romcom 🥰

[@okinsunshine]

This, Sabrina (1995 version) & One Fine Day (George Clooney)!

[@LiaaaaaaaaAAAAAHH]

Billy crystal is NOT a convincing 20 year old 😂 Lowkey I prefer it when they make an actor look younger by just putting them in a formerly stylish wig, rather than the weird de-aging cgi. It’s 1. Way funnier 2. Less creepy Friends did it the best though!

[@ohbooyourselves]

Have they seen Sleepless in Seattle?

[@meganlutz7150]

Sleepless in Seattle is such a great suggestion !

[@GillDawe]

I’m soooo glad you guys finally watched this one!! In my opinion, the greatest Romantic Comedy of all time. So much of the writing and filmmaking is just so fun, all of the split screen edits with Harry and Sally on the phone, and especially the “after sex” dual phone calls with Jess and Marie, the writing is just so quick and witty. About halfway through I was starting to get nervous about whether you liked it or not because it wasn’t getting as many laughs as I expected! Glad to hear that wasn’t the case 😂

[@BeautywithMichelle]

This is one of my favorite movies ever! Definitely a comfort movie. I've seen it a million times. Loved your reaction to this! Originally, Harry and Sally weren't suppose to end up together. But during the filming of the movie, the director fell in love in real life and changed the ending of the movie so they do end up together!

[@miriamO212]

I'm glad you guys enjoyed it! I watch this every new years eve. My absolute fave!

[@wavy6617]

I watch this every new year's eve! I have to agree with Zuff, this movie makes you want to find your person. Hopefully it won't take 12 years and 3 months 😅

[@kenyonsgirl415]

You have to do Pretty Woman!! ❤

[@meganlutz7150]

They would love Pretty Woman. Great suggestion !

[@HuntingViolets]

I think Harry was finished with college, and Sally was going to go to graduate school in New York.

[@underwriter53]

Fell in love with you guys during your Ted Lasso reactions. So don’t be impatient, Zuff, you’re young and your queen will come. But it certainly won’t be me! Way too old! 🫠 I have sons older than you guys! 😊

[@acrynellys]

Another fantastic romcom I HIGHLY recommend from this era is "Moonstruck" ✨️🌕✨️ Nicholas Cage! Cher won Best Actress!

[@Makeupvine]

Omg I need them to react to that!!! Adoreeeee that movie ❤

[@harryballsak1123]

Not that she wasn't great in that but she won that OScar because she got screwed out of 2 for Mask( wasn't even nominated ) and Silkwood

[@ScarlettM]

"French Kiss" - a romantic comedy with Meg Ryan and Kevin Kline. Consider reacting!

[@HuntingViolets]

Rewatched that and _When Harry Met Sally_ on New Year's Eve.

[@Rennimagus]

I love watching people react to the deli scene. Women lose their minds and start laughing hysterically, and men are QUIET. Every. time. 🤣

[@mead0ws0vergrown]

i cry laughing everytime zuff starts getting lonely after they watch a rom com lmaoo

[@IsThisThePrizeIveWaitedFor]

What this movie hits home for me is that I want a romantic relationship with someone who is also my best friend

[@nathan.brazil780]

04:50 If you listen to the dialogue then you would have heard her say that he is dating her friend and that is how they know each other

[@sorcy79au]

You guys should check out City Slickers. Fantastic film with some of this cast.

[@Stephie_L]

3:50 is why I love this channel. The faces Rob and Bryce make at Zuff 😂- So glad you guys did this one, it's so iconic. The witty dialogue about relationships is my favourite part. The oldies had some of the best rom coms...I think some have been mentioned in the comments like "My Best Friend's Wedding" and "Notting Hill" (it's one of the best in my opinion). If you ever want another Meg Ryan one then "Sleepless in Seattle" would be a good one for Zuff haha. Looking forward to the next one :)

[@CL_442]

The "Before..." trilogy is my favorite trilogy of all time. I'm so excited you're going to be watching at least Before Sunrise, but I highly suggest watching all 3.

[@tsefcik]

ALl TIME FAVORITES!!

[@margaritakmp]

Before Sunset in particular is perhaps my favourite of all time!

[@aagold76]

filming the 4 way phone call was a nightmare- it had to be in one- and they flubbed it multiple times.

[@RobertMorgan]

As a kid born in 1983 with older siblings, the clothes and styles in this movie are just great. The late 90s were the height of fashion, so we've found in the future. 25:45 Helen looks great, I'm 100% certain I watched my older sister dressed exactly like that going to a date or job interview, setting up her all-new Sony DISCman, it plays CDs instead of cassettes, wow!

[@harryballsak1123]

This movie came out in 1989 not the late 90s unless that's a typo.

[@LiaaaaaaaaAAAAAHH]

Just started and am wondering what’s Zuff going to say this time 😂 Once you guys feel comfortable with movies, maybe you could watch some OLD Old Hollywood movies? Casablanca, Roman Holiday, Charade, and An Afair to Remember are some of my favorites from the 1950s and 60’s.

[@meganlutz7150]

Yes please do watch some old classic movies. Casablanca would be great !

[@tracyracy]

I tried watching Casablanca but kept pausing because of how boring it was. Still haven't finished it and this was more than 2 months ago. At what point is it supposed to get better

[@jianyuyj2016]

​@@tracyracy maybe it was not your movie. I found saving private ryan tedious as well. Just not meant to be

[@Bonobanos]

oh my god Charade yes please

[@LiaaaaaaaaAAAAAHH]

Yay! This and Before Sunrise are such disarmingly sweet stories. They feel real, or at least possible. There is so much wisdom for young people weaved in. There’s a quote from Before Sunrise that I think about a lot “you have to resign yourself to the awkwardness of life. Only if you find peace within yourself will you find true connection with others.” Basically, don’t be afraid to be “cringe,” and maybe you’ll be confident enough to fake orgasm in a busy restaurant 😂

[@HuntingViolets]

Second date with hair-flossing guy: She wasn't going to have a second date with him. She was going to continue trying to date with new people. Orgasm scene: She was thinking she was going to prove her point. I love how she could do that and not be embarrassed after years ago being embarrassed by accidentally making the "good sex" remark too loudly. Character growth. She deserved an Oscar for the deli scene alone.

[@pemp9606]

One of the best rom coms ever!!!

[@KarenCatMom2]

One of the best movies FYI the first movies to fit the requirements of a rom-com came out in 1924, Girl Shy and Sherlock Jr.

[@IndieCindy3]

The director, Rob Reiner, had previously worked with Billy Crystal in The Princess Bride (the greatest, most charming, and wittiest movie of all time). Hope you guys don’t go another year without watching it.

The “as soon as you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible” line probably sounds familiar because it was used in red lasso but he was saying “as soon as you know you want to coach with someone…”

[@MrDeadstu]

This is a classic for sure. From Harry spitting on the car window to Sally's fake orgasm in the restaurant to the final confession of love on New Year's Eve, it's all perfect. If you liked Billy Crystal, try one of his comedies, "City Slickers" it's a great feel-good comedy.
