When Harry Met Sally is one of my all-time favorite movies and it definitely set the bar very high for the rest of the romantic comedies. It does follow the clichés of the romantic comedy genre because it has all of the things we talked about in class. It shows that true love exists, someone out there is meant to be yours and it also shows that romance can overcome all obstacles. In this movie we have Meg Ryan being the uptight focused woman (wanting to be a journalist in NYC) and Harry, who is the funniest guy, but kind of mean and a huge realist (in a pessimist kind of way). My favorite thing about this movie is that it's not totally cheesy and I like how long it takes for them to become friends...then fall in love. Twelve years and three months is a heck of a long time - most people don't even up getting married after such a long time passes.
I think this movie still stands the test of time as something to be judged as artistic in the future. Now, we look back at this movie and compare it to the romantic comedies we’ve seen in the past few years because clearly, this movie will always be one of the best ones. No matter how many romantic comedies we watch, When Harry Met Sally is one of the few that we won’t forget about. We will always compare the newer romantic comedies to this movie because as I stated before, It’s one of the best romantic comedies out there!
