*That Scene* Made me BLUSH | When Harry Met Sally Movie Reaction 

Thanks for watching! Let me know your thought on this flick below. 👋

Not only was the "I'll have what she's having" line so legendary, but it was delivered by director Rob Reiner's mother. So perfect!

This is one of the rare rom-coms I love. The “too much pepper in my paprikash” part was also off script. When Meg Ryan laughs and looks away, she’s looking at the director for a little help. 😄

It's great to see you really got the movie from both POV. Loved your reaction. Her realization that "he really didn't want to marry me" always gets me.

This is my wife's favorite movie from before she met me, and one of my favorite movies as well. Aside from being such a great movie, we feel a special connection as she and I met in a 'Harry and Sally' style and we're also very much Harry and Sally. We both worked for the same company but as different locations and we first met each other over a 1 week period when I was doing some work at her location. We hit it off but I was in a relationship and she was not looking for a relationship with a guy like me at the time (a few years older, divorced). We saw each other again a few month later but again only for a week. Then we didn't see each other for about 4 years. She went off to college and I went though several relationships. We met again after all that time completely by chance. At that time I was single and she was looking for a relationship so I asked her out. Our first date was in 2004 and we'll be married 18 years this August. I call her 'Sally Albright' all the time because it takes her an hour to order a sandwich (she is never ready to order when the server arrives, she always asks a ton of questions and asked the server what they recommend, she always wants something from the dish on the side, etc...), she is always under a blanket at home or wearing a sweatshirt because she's cold when it's 70 degrees, the parallels are endless. Without going into detail I am very much like 'Harry' (I talk a lot, make jokes, I have an analytical view of people and emotions/feelings and I like to talk about it, etc..) I'm really happy you liked the movie !

I don't like most rom-coms. A lot of them are just formulaic wish-fulfillment fantasies. But I love When Harry Met Sally. The main characters seem like real people, and the romantic parts aren't just designed to appeal to female fantasy. And the heartfelt parts are really touching, while the funny parts are really funny. Of course men and women can be friends! A lot of my friends are women. Having friends only of the same sex seems very narrow. Rob Reiner filmed a bunch of interviews of real-life couples with the intent of using them in the movie, but he didn't think they were good enough, so he re-filmed them with the same dialog using professional actors. How many hairstyles did Meg Ryan go through in this movie?

"I'll have what she's having." The woman who says the line was Rob Reiner's mom.

"I'll have what she's having." Fun Fact: Joe is played by Steven Ford, the son of 38th U.S. President Gerald Ford. Hot Take Fact: The scene where we see all four lead characters talking to each other individually on various telephones took sixty takes to nail. Location Location Fact: The orgasm scene was filmed at Katz's Deli, an actual restaurant on New York's E. Houston Street. The table at which the scene was filmed now has a "Where Harry Met Sally ...Hope You Have What She Had!" plaque. Do You Blush Fact: For the infamous orgasm scene, the original script called for Harry and Sally to merely talk about women faking an orgasm, until Meg Ryan suggested that Sally actually fake an orgasm at the table. Director Rob Reiner loved the idea and put it into the script. In an November 2, 2004 interview with NPR, writer Nora Ephron credited Meg Ryan not only with the idea of faking an orgasm in the famous restaurant scene, but also with the idea of setting it in a restaurant in the first place.

My cousin saw this movie on a first date. She said the diner scene was awkward to watch 🤣

BTW- Since you seemed to love Billy Crystal, City Slickers is a must watch if you haven't seen it.

Love how you said that there is not one path to love. Really everything you said about that was beautiful.

The "I'll have what she's having" line was actually Rob Reiners' mother. He was the director

I love this movie so much. It's just perfect. The four leads are great & I love all the interspersed "how we met" stories.

🤣…he’s talking about his wife divorcing him, and they stand up for the wave at the ball game. I think it was more difficult to edit these clips, but I was happy to rewind it to see it again. I may just rewatch this one, even though romantic comedies are not my cup of tea.

Marvelous collaboration between the screenwriter, director, and star. You could never get that kind of chemistry again, ever. It's probably the most prevalent reason why so many people love this flick so much. It's got some of the realest and SNAPPIEST inter-gender dialogue of all time.

"I'll have what she's having." is on the short list of funniest lines ever in comedic film. It was water-cooler stuff for months. Back when films stayed in theaters for months, and in the public's consciousness for years.

Is met a lady while working at the old folk's home and she got married when she was 72 and he was 75. She said it was happiest 5 years of her life

I love this reaction! I've seen this film so many times, but your laughing (especially at Billy Crystal) made me laugh at it again. It always feels like a shared watching experience with you, not just watching someone watch a film. Thank you.

Personally I skip romantic comedies but this one is so sweet and funny, I'm glad you checked it out! And don't sell yourself short sir! The little clips of the different relationships the put in during the movie were so cute.

City Slickers is a fun one to catch

I love my girl friends dearly but I consider having guy friends to be one of my biggest blessings. Anyone who thinks that a man and a woman can't have a purely platonic relationship is missing out.

"Harry doesn't even like sweets" "What's wrong with Harry?" Seriously! Sweets are awesome! But then I like to bake so it sucks when I'm with someone who doesn't like sweets.

My favorite rom-com of all time. I played the soundtrack of this movie (by Harry Connick Jr.) so much.

A story of how two people become one-only because no one else can stand either one of them.

I found out my current person lived oh so close to one of my favorite restaurants of a few years. And his niece has my same exact name. We met at the same karaoke bar and talked everyday ever since. I tell him he is the sunshine breaking through the window of what I thought was a room of everlasting darkness. We love being able to finally just be ourselves with someone else.

You're so refreshingly wholesome, especially when you blush 💖

Great reaction to WHMS. Personally I think it is the smartest and best rom com ever made.When you have a writer of the calibre of Nora Ephron, and Rob Reiner at his directing peak, I guess you can expect them to raise the bar a bit. One of the few other RC's that doesn't leave me feeling like I just wasted 2 hours, is Notinghill (1999) With similarly strong, complex, funny characters and a lot of insight into what drives them. Another strong, perceptive British, Hugh Grant, film, that I guess you would call a Bromantic comedy is, About A Boy (2002)

I had forgotten that Princess Leia was in this movie after the Rebels won!

One of my favorite friends from college and I knew the lines of this movie by heart. We used to quote the Pepper on my Paprikash part all the time. A few years later my favorite person because my favorite boyfriend, then my favorite husband. We still quote this movie 😛

I haven't seen this in sooooooOOOOoooo long. This is one of my Dad's favourite movies along with You've Got Mail and Sleepless in Seattle because he has a huge thing for Meg Ryan.

"When Harry Met Sally" is my favorite RomCom and one of the few that I enjoy. Often RomComs are too formulaic, but this had some real interesting turns. It could also be that the dialog is so much like when I met my wife and I am a bit sentimental. And YES, men and women can just be friends. In fact, I have often had equal numbers of both...which is easy now when I am older and there aren't too many around.

If one of the friends is attracted to the other, NO, they can't be just friends. If they DO stay just friends, it's unfair to the person with the feelings.

Is "The Apartment" (1960) on your list for New Year's movies? It has an office Christmas-party scene as well. It stars Shirley MacLaine, and Jack Lemmon, with Fred MacMurray playing against type as the baddie.

"You're in public, lady!" Movie: Hold my beer.

Yeah, this pretty much invented the romcom as it would exist for at least the next twenty years. Jury is still out on whether that was a net positive for humanity, but THIS movie is excellent.

Better rom cons IMHO: All of the Bridget Jones movies, While You Were Sleeping, An Affair To Remember, Doris Day's comedies, etc

Did you recognize Bruno Kirby (Jess)? He played young Clemenza (rug thief) in The Godfather Part 2. And for heaven sakes watch TOOTSIE!! It’s funny!!

Great reaction. I recommend another Billy Crystal movie. Please react to City Slickers. It’s set in NY City. Billy’s friends take him on a cowboy vacation for his birthday. They learn to ride horses and everything.

This is my favourite US romcom. Brilliant film. I think you would also enjoy Forget Paris (1995) starring Billy Crystal and Debra Winger.

I saw this movie in the theater when it originally came out. Excellent movie!

As to your question of "can men be and women be friends ?" I would say it really depends on the person. Some people are the wrong people to ask. I think it depends on if promiscuity is a factor. In this case, it was with me. In my younger years, I probably crossed that line with just about every female I was friends with, as well as the people in that person’s circle, and often even with females who were supposed to be just friends. The funny thing is, sexual confidence can get you into a lot of trouble. Once you have it, it attracts any of those looking for it. My greatest regret is that In hindsight, I learned that I was just trying fill an empty space from childhood, and in the process I missed out on getting to know some wonderful girls/women that in some cases definitely wanted a real relationship but didn’t know how to go about getting access to more than just the physical aspects of getting close to me. So yeah, I would say it depends on what kind of man you are, vs what kind of me you ought to be.

Yay pleasant surprise! Don't know if you noticed, but the one friend is played by Carrie Fisher aka Princess Leah

I love your reactions! Always heartwarming and intelligent. You are a class act ignore the stupid trolls! Yes I do believe they can be just friends. I was in love with a friend for many many years it is possible but bittersweet for the party whose romantic love is not reciprocated. I have also had friends be in love with me Ijust didn't feel the same way. I would not however change any of those friendships. They enriched my life immensely and I love them all still. Just because it isn't romantic love doesn't mean it is still not a valued and good relationship. Of those I mentioned. One is still single, one passed away, and one married someone else. But we are all where we are supposed to be in God's plan.

Even though I consider it to be the greatest romantic comedy of all time I'd forgotten how good it was till today. It also held the record for film I most watched at the pictures for the longest time (three).

In regards to "Do you think it (men cannot be friends with women without wanting to... engage... with them) is true?" No. Absolutely not. I have been best friends with a woman for nearly 19 years. I wouldn't want to sleep with her any more than I would like to sleep with any of my other friends (which is not at all).

My favorite rom-com, although that is not a big genre for me. The only other one I can honestly say that I really love and have rewatched tons of times is Crazy Rich Asians. My favorite of the couple interstitials is the story of the two that grew up so close to each other but didn’t meet until in Chicago. Although I also appreciate the knowing looks from the woman who knew the names of all of her husband’s ex-girlfriends. I love seeing Harry and Sally’s relationship develop over the years, which is what makes it an actually believable pairing, as opposed to other film couples where they get together in a matter of weeks or even days. I especially like seeing them grow to love the other’s quirks-he ends up embracing her food pickiness, but still gets frustrated at how she has to make sure each envelope disappears into the mailbox before adding another.

I'm back and I haven't seen this movie in a long time but it's a great classic

City Slickers needs to follow this.

I probably won't make myself popular with this comment, but as much as I enjoy WHMS (and I do!) it's basically a very well done mash-up of Woody Allen's "Annie Hall" and "Manhattan" with a happy ending... please put those films on your list! Anyway, I really enjoyed your reaction, your enthusiasm is infectious!👍

21:26 Get in line, Buster:)

Elderly couples always have the best, most endearing meet-cute stories. Our generations' suck in comparison.

One of my fave romcoms ever - DynamicDuo of Crystal & Ryan ; I relate so hard to this film over the years; sad but true. Chris I can't recall if you have seen them but if not make sure to check out Woody Allen's ANNIE HALL & MANHATTAN.

Never thought much of this movie, but the only thing I liked better than your reaction to it was the film that popped up as your suggestion at the end! Perfect...

Excellent reaction, Chris. It's always fun watching you having fun. Nice work.

I am not surprised It made you blush

my favorite movie and i do find the funny voice scene funny its cute

Normally i don't like these kind of movies. But this was so well made an acted that i put it in my top 5 movies from 1989. And that's pretty high cause 1989 had a lot of great rewatchble movies like Batman, Indiana Jones and the last crusade, Back to the future Part II, Lethal weapon 2 and many more.

Watched this all the way through for the first time recently too. Loved it! 😁

Another great relationship movie is The Story of Us (1999)

U seemed resigned to watching a 'chick flick' then were genuinely surprised by how much you enjoyed it.

Hi 👋🏼 buddy Happy New Year 🎉😊Officially the latest I’ve even thought it.

I agree 100% with Billy Crystal especially if one of the 2 is married. Friendship is only for the same sex.

17:20 you’re sooo right! 😊

The woman in the restaurant that says I'll have what she's having is Rob Reiner's mother.

I’ve got male friends. Truly one of the best romantic comedies. The fake orgasm scene is classic. Your embarrassment is sweet.

21:34 The Icarus Agenda, by Robert Ludlum

More Rob Reiner, nice.

*If by chance you haven’t seen Pretty Woman, *that should be next on your all time Romantic Comedy watchlist.*

27:01 KAPOW! 😭

🤣…it’s funny that you said ‘Chick Flikish’ because (it’s not meant to be a nice thing to say)-and you’re so SO kind. I don’t like ‘Romantic Comedy’ either…but being a …chick, I don’t call ‘em chick flicks. NOT a biggie, it just made me stop and lol, bcse you added the ‘ish’. 👋🏾❤️

Still my favorite Rom Com. Hilarious and sweet and well balanced.

@19:17 Your shirt + His shirt = 1 whole tablecloth.

Hi check out old school movie, SUDDEN FEAR 1952, starring Joan Crawford

Great reaction. Thanks!

Star Wars Fan? Someone says "B B 8" just before "Baby Fish Mouth."

LOL. It's so cute, the things that make male reactors uncomfortable.

When they filmed the orgasm scene the director thought Meg was holding back so he sat down and acted out what he wanted, it was also his mother who said “ I’ll have what she had”

❤love❤

All the old people stories are real, but they are played by actors.

Man and women can’t be close friends, eventually one or the other will want more. Mi opinion. 🤷‍♀️

So, how many halloween-themeed movies do you watch around that one date? Eh?

Don't understand why people think this is so great, prefer *Sleepless in Seattle* to this. For more Billy Crystal and Bruno Kirby you should watch *City Slickers.*

Screensavers still exist?

I like your reactions, i just wish youd talk over the dialogue a little less-sometimes u miss funny lines... you vould always hit pause to talk if its gonna be more than a couple words :) Great rreaction tho, i love this movie :)

It always seemed harder for women to be friends with me, rather than for me to be friends with them. And that's how I always want to meet people, especially romantic interests, by making friends. But if I don't come across with game, most women simply drop interest, like I'm not focussed enough on their agenda. They never seem to want to make friends, as if they don't even like men except for their usability. Could just be me, but it seems a cultural trend.

Timing to see how long it took for you to say something stupid… 16 seconds..a new record for you.
