Holiday Movie Series: When Harry Met Sally

Pre Watch:

To all millennials who haven't seen this movie. What are you doing? What What What are you doing? Look at your life. Look at your choices. You can't go through life without experiencing the enigmatic charm of Billy crystal and Meg Ryan, and I don't care if you don't know who they are!

If you have seen it then you know it's a holiday classic that's worth watching over and over. It doesn't only take place in the winter season, but New Year's eve holds some of the best scenes. When Harry Met Sally is a neurotic dialog about the truth of love and relationships in the form of a wonderfully written rom-com. Can a woman and a man be friends without the mushy love stuff getting in the way? Can we ignore our jealousies and be truly happy when a man in our life meets his dream girl...even if it isn't us? And most importantly is every food topping better when it's on the side? 

This film also portrays these issues as well the height of fashion between the late 80's and early 90's. It will make you love shoulder pads I swear! The story is set in NYC where moaning loudly in a Deli is completely acceptable. Okay, I'm revved up for this now! Excuse while I grab some Ben & Jerry's and watch "When Harry met Sally".
