When Harry Met Sally<\/em>, written by Nora Ephron<\/strong>, follows longtime college acquaintances Harry (Billy Crysta<\/strong>l) and Sally (Meg Ryan<\/strong>) through decades of their lives as they debate whether or not men and women can be just friends. After years of back and forth, the final moments of the film see Harry running to a New Year\u2019s Eve party to find Sally and confess his love before midnight. The couple share a kiss, and the final scene reveals that they married three months later.<\/p>\nUpon its release, the movie became both a critical and box-office success and is often revered as one of the best rom-coms of all time. In May 2019, Reiner confessed making the movie felt like a gamble at the time.<\/p>\n
