I dare not think what they would have posted on this thread...

The scene you're referencing is from Sleepless in Seattle. Easily confused. Both starred Meg Ryan and were Nora Ephron screenplays. (Oh God. I even know who wrote them?) Anyways, the clip is on youtube.

Also, the girl getting all weepy is Tom Hanks wife in real life. (Damn it. Why do I know that?)

Oh dear! Which of us should be the most embarrassed? But I knew that starting this thread would irradicate all traces of my reputation anyway...

Thanks for the very necessary correction nyykrmv. Whenever I'm too lazy to double-check I tend to mix scenes and actors up in a chaotic whirl until every film I ever talk about sounds like Blazing Saddles.

+1 for Roxanne.I was actually going to post that.I'm surprised someone else remembers it.

These 2 qualify as really damn good

Cannot go wrong with Ann Magret and Sophia Loren

It's a Farrelly Brothers movie (I'm not a fan of their stuff). It stars Jimmy Fallon (why is this guy popular?) and Drew Barrymore (a little of her goes a long way). He plays a dyed-in-the-wool Boston Red Socks fan and she's a career woman. Guess what happens. It came on TV a couple of weeks ago and I watched it. To my shock, I really enjoyed it. I just can't remember the name of the damned thing.
