Sleepless in Seattle

Image posted by ryankoziel

a 1993 American romantic comedy film written and directed by Nora Ephron. Based on a story by Jeff Arch, it stars Tom Hanks as Sam Baldwin and Meg Ryan as Annie Reed.
The film was inspired by An Affair to Remember and used both its theme song and clips from the film in critical scenes. The climactic meeting at the top of the Empire State Building is a reference to a reunion between Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr in An Affair to Remember that fails to happen because the Kerr character is struck by a car while enroute. At one point, some of the characters discuss Affair, with Sam commenting that it sounds like a "chick movie." ( Edited by ryankoziel)

This is what I would call a new classic...very much "framed" after an old favorite, "An Affair to Remember"...in fact, the old classic is mentioned in "Sleepless in Seattle." This movie makes you wonder who you "go by" each day and what fate has in store for you.
