Two acquaintances keep bumping into one another until a friendship starts; testing the scientifically-proved uncontestable fact that men and women can’t be friends, which is a total fiction.

Phenomenal, even all this time later and compared to everything that was made before and since. Billy Crystal really carries this movie.

  • Trailer
  • Properly titled When Harry Met Sally…
  • TODO – My DVD dies 2/3rds in, and needs to be replaced…
