They Just Knewīefore we get to the actual romantic moment, however, it’s important to point out the foreshadowing placed throughout the movie about “knowing.” Throughout the film, the two are drawn together in an almost fated way but never meet – that is until the end of the movie which is our romantic moment of the week. Soon, she writes a letter asking Sam to meet her at the top of the Empire State Building on Valentine’s Day in homage to An Affair to Remember.

So, like Meg Ryan and Rosie O’Donnell, take out your bowl of popcorn, and sit back as we explore Sleepless in Seattle…when people really knew how to be in love in a movie! The Story We need more female voices in entertainment like Nora Ephron who aren’t afraid to do romance and do it right. I’d argue that most filmmakers today don’t “get” the romantic comedy either and it’s a real shame since we’re in need of a major romantic comedy revival. “Men never get this movie,” Becky comments as they cry over An Affair to Remember. But the real, epic Hollywood romances with swelling music, relatable female characters, ideal leading men, poetic dialogue, an actual comedy with wit, and actors who give award-worthy performances.

To fill the void, we often find ourselves turning to these unabashedly romantic comedies of the past with the same dreamy sigh as Meg Ryan. But they’ve since mostly faded from view (unfortunately). Sure, we know it’s not realistic to life but isn’t it wonderful to watch? And isn’t it magical to believe in true love if only for two hours? The Romantic ComedyĪt one point in time, the romantic comedy was a staple of Hollywood movies. You want to be in love in a movie.”Īnd that’s what both movies achieve with great success: how to be in love in a movie. “That’s your problem! You don’t want to be in love. “They knew it! Time, distance… nothing could separate them because they knew. “Now those were the days when people KNEW how to be in love,” Annie sighs dreamily as she watches An Affair to Remember.
