Let's Finally Watch This

Episode 20 – Sleepless in Seattle (1993)


Listen Later

It's 1993. Multiplexes have arrived, and there are plenty of movies to show—Jurassic Park, Tombstone, Schindler's List, the original Super Mario Bros. movie.... Okay, not all are great, but it was a time of the blockbuster. In the middle of this comes Sleepless in Seattle, an iconic romantic comedy with the now-classic pairing of Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.

What Sleepless in Seattle offers casual movie fans who have always meant to watch classic movies: a near-religious search for romantic "magic," clever writing with an unconventional romantic comedy structure, great acting by Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks, and references to Cary Grant and tiramisu.
