'''''When Harry Met Sally...''''' is a 1989 American [[Romance film|romantic]] [[comedy drama]] film directed by [[Rob Reiner]] and written by [[Nora Ephron]]. Starring [[Billy Crystal]], [[Meg Ryan]], [[Carrie Fisher]], and [[Bruno Kirby]], it follows the title characters from the time they meet in Chicago and share a drive to New York City through twelve years of chance encounters in New York, and addresses the question "Can men and women ever just be friends?"

Ideas for the film began when Reiner and [[Penny Marshall]] divorced. An interview Ephron conducted with Reiner provided the basis for Harry. Sally was based on Ephron and some of her friends. Crystal came on board and made his own contributions to the screenplay. Ephron supplied the structure of the film with much of the dialogue based on the real-life friendship between Reiner and Crystal. The soundtrack consists of standards from [[Harry Connick Jr.]], with a [[big band]] and [[orchestra]] arranged by [[Marc Shaiman]]. For his work on the soundtrack, Connick won his first [[Grammy Award]] for [[Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Performance, Male|Best Jazz Male Vocal Performance]].
