The greatest rom-com of all time deserves a rewatch every holiday season, but especially in light of the horrific death of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele this month. Other such films fabricate fireworks; When Harry Met Sally… is real. You can relate to Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan here. They’re earnest in their search for love and then cynical about it, meeting the wrong people and learning from the experience the way all of us do. It’s only because of those experiences that our uptight, curly-haired journalist (sounds familiar) and her irreverent counterpart move along the enemies-to-friends-to-lovers pipeline. By the end, they marvel at their marriage: “It only took us three months.” “12 years and three months.” – Carys Anderson
