It’s the month of Girl Scouts cookies, boxes of stale Halloween candies chocolate, and bouquets of hay fever roses. That could only mean one thing for What We Watch When We Drink: it’s Rom-Com season! We’re celebrating this national holiday season in style with a classic romantic comedy from 1989, When Harry Met Sally… .

It’s got cute (Meg Ryan). It’s got nebbish (Billy Crystal). It’s got goofy friends (Carrie Fisher and Bruno Kirby). It’s got Hall of Fame directing (Rob Reiner). Who says No?

C’mon, you have to want to see these crazy mismatched kids spend two hours hating each other then finally magically amazingly impossibly see what we saw two hours ago… They should be together! (We hear they fall to their deaths into the Grand Canyon on their fortieth anniversary in the much rumored sequel, SHHHH!)

We wax romantically with stars in our eyes over this classic RomeoComedio with our usual whisky and cocktails…

“How can Meg Ryan’s eyes be that blue?”
“She’s crazy if she falls for that shmuck!”
“Wait! Isn’t Billy Crystal like twenty-five years older than her?!”
“They should’ve made a movie with Carrie Fisher and Bruno Kirby!”
“Wasn’t she in Star Trek?” Wasn’t he in Dog Day Afternoon?”
“I like Katz’s but there are better delicatessens in New York.”
“When does Tom Hanks show up?”
“I thought Meg Ryan turns into a mermaid after the deli scene.”
“Wasn’t that a Spinal Tap song playing when they started driving to New York? How meta is that?!”
