I'm sorta in the "TV sitcom version of ANNIE HALL" camp on this one, but the movie is still undeniably funny. I recall the MAD magazine parody of it: one panel had Harry and Sally walking through Central Park engaging in some neurotic New-Yorker dialogue while Woody Allen walks by, glowering at them over his shoulder.Will Erricksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285306262078600804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-37945578584846726402010-01-05T10:27:17.300-05:002010-01-05T10:27:17.300-05:00christian:

Thank you, though, for your sincere comments that really meant a lot to me! I am very picky about the romantic comedies that I like and this one, IMO, is the very best of the genre. It just works on every level. I can't thank you enough for your kind words, my friend!<br /><br />I actually don't mind SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE, I just don't think it is as good as WHEN HARRY MET SALLY.<br /><br /><br />Jeremy Richey:<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and I am so glad you enjoyed this post. I annually watch this film around this time of year and never tire of it.

This is as exhaustive and heartfelt a review I've read on any blog over the Christmas break, and I say kudos to you, J.D. I will say however, that I did like SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE best.<br /><br />Yes, I concur too that Crystal was cast in the mold of the neurotism of Woody Allen.<br /><br />I bet it's cold in the Northland now J.D.!

I was trying to think of a film that would bridge the gap between Xmas and New Year's and this film certainly does it.<br /><br />I love the vignettes as well. I wanted to comment on them but just couldn't find a spot in my post but they act as a kind of Greek chorus to what we are watching.<br /><br /><br />Mark Salisbury:<br /><br />Yes, this film has aged very well and still holds up. In fact, it is still tops as far as romantic comedies go. Some films have come close since but none have surpassed IMO.

You've covered so many great aspects of this wonderful film. And you're so right about the <i>fake orgasm</i> scene. The women in the theater laughed SO HARD, and LOUD. The rest of us... well, you know ;-). The vignettes sprinkled through the film really touch a core within me, too. I'm a closet softie for those kinds of things. Great, great look back at this, J.D. (and what a film for the stretch between the year end holidays, my friend). This one makes it in (you'll see come Tuesday what I'm referring to). Thanks for this.le0pard13https://www.blogger.com/profile/09421175808461787862noreply@blogger.com
