It’s a bona fide classic and one of the definitive romantic comedies ever made. But that’s all beside the point, isn’t it? Sleepless in Seattle holds a special place for me with reasons I won’t get into here. It would seem that Sam could get on to find a new girlfriend (though, admittedly, he didn’t seem to be looking) and Annie’s investigation could have been solved with a few clicks of the mouse.
I don’t even know if call in talk radio shows exist anymore. And if not, well, that’s a spoiler-free plot synopsis. There’s a little more to the story than that, but I’m guessing that if you’re reading this 25th Anniversary review, then you’ve already seen the film a number of times. She, however, is engaged to Walter (Bill Pullman), but together with friend Becky (Rosie O’Donnell) decide to do some digging to see if Sam is the catch that she (and every single woman in the country) thinks he is. Across the country Annie (Meg Ryan) hears this and is swept up. His son, Jonah (Ross Malinger), senses his father’s sadness and, on Christmas Eve, calls into a national talk show and tells his story. Hanks plays Sam, a Seattle-based architect who’s recently lost his wife to cancer. An homage to An Affair to Remember, Nora Ephron wrote and directed this classic tale that still has audiences tearing up even twenty five years later. If you’re looking for the definitive romantic comedy film of the 90’s then look no further. Tom Cruise donned a suit and became Mitch McDeere in The Firm, Harrison Ford outran Tommy Lee Jones in The Fugitive and we saw the second (of three) pairings of Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan with Sleepless in Seattle (they would re-team in 1998’s You’ve Got Mail, and had previously been seen in 1990’s Joe Versus the Volcano). But amidst that movie, some others did manage to turn a profit as well. Yes, it’s hard to believe that those CGI dinosaurs are a quarter of a century old.

When I think of the Summer Box Office from 1993 (and you’d be surprised how often I do), there’s invariably one movie that comes to mind: Jurassic Park. Plot: What’s it about? Video: How’s it look? Audio: How’s it sound? Supplements: What are the extras? The Bottom Line Plot: What’s it about?
