When Harry Met Sally/500 Days of Summer

As we go through the viewing guide for When Harry Met Sally, let's also talk about what exactly makes this film the quintessential romantic comedy? Last year the film celebrated its 25th anniversary, and Time Magazine had a short piece on how it is "Still the Perfect Rom-Com." In addition, ABC News had a humorous piece on "7 Ways the Plot Would be Different in 2014." Both are interesting discussions on the relevance of the film.

500 Days of Summer is an interesting look at how the conventions of romantic comedies have evolved over time...How does that film break the "rules"? Of course, there is a viewing guide to direct us...
