When Harry Met Sally
Harry and Sally are just friends. In fact, when they first meet on a road trip from Chicago to New York after graduation, they aren't even that. Harry doesn't think it's possible for men and women to have a platonic relationship - the sex part always gets in the way. Sally doesn't agree - but, after accusing Harry of making a pass at her, she isn't keen to find out if he's right and the pair part ways in New York.
Five years later, they bump into each other at the airport and they still can't agree - on anything. Five years after that, Harry is divorced, Sally is single, and they decide to give their friendship a shot. Free from the pressure of a romantic relationship and able to be themselves around someone new, Harry and Sally grow closer and closer. But one fateful night is finally about to put Harry's theory to the test…
