Sleepless in Seattle (25th Anniversary Edition)

Good

I can’t count how many times my wife and I have watched Sleepless in Seattle, but it’s been enough... and when Amazon had a great deal we got it streaming to add to our streaming library. I’ll have to admit - I love everything up to the point Hanks and Ryan get together - I have never been a fan of their chemistry or more to the point, lack there of. But the film is a great ride and has countless charming moments and great acting. This is a story of daring to love again. The relationship between the son and father hinges on them moving on after the death of Hank’s onscreen wife. They were deeply in love and he’s hurting. On the other coast Meg has spent her life doing what’s expecting, being boring, and now she’s getting engaged to the wrong guy - who’s far too much the right guy. (again, I’m a bigger fan of she and that guy staying together, as she and Hanks just do not click - my wife agrees). But beyond that everything is a great ride. The cast is outstanding, the characters interesting and unique, and the story itself is good - a fun RomCom. On the other side, this movie has given us some fun and memorable moments - Rosie and Meg crying over old movies, Hanks’ real life wife, Rita, crying over old movies, Hanks and Gray crying over old movies... and the radio host giving us some of the original “real world drama” on Christmas night - when Meg sings Horses, horses, horses... This is a date night film, a Sunday afternoon, cuddle with your wife, or rainy day way to spend some time enjoying something delightful.

Great Movie!

For those who like romance.

Good quality. No issues with the DVD or quality of the movie. Great movie, as well.

I'd heard lots and lots about this movie over the years since it was released, so I finally broke down and rented a stream off of Amazon just to see what all the fuss was about. I'm like that. When something popular hits the mainstream, I tend to shy away from it unless I was there to see it debut. It's who I am. It's a light drama with one or two comedic moments, but nothing overly heavy. It's more or less a romantic fantasy that somewhat skews female, though dudes with heart should probably enjoy it too. Though my comments come many days late and many dollars short in terms of timeliness. Like a lot of Amazon streams the image, even though it's high definition, is still marginally soft around the edges. And this review comes from a guy living in the Bay Area, THE tech hub for the world, and has the fastest possible home net connection that you can have. So, take that for what it's worth. It is a movie, so the story elements and premise, to me, as a fantasy, can't be taken any way other than as a fantasy. To me these films are kind of basic. My background is shooting corporate video and indy features, so when I see a film like this that has that major studio gloss to it, I often wonder what it would have been like with no-marquis actors and an independent budget, but with the same shooting schedule and styles (minus all the grip gear that goes along with a major Hollywood production). It's just the way I think. Check it out, if you haven't already. It's not the huge sleeper that I think it was billed as being when it was in the theatres all those years ago, but it's worth a gander.

Great Price! Fast Shipping! Recommend Seller!

Very good and moral clean movie

Love that movie

Un très bon film qui sent les années 90, que de souvenirs

Love this film and have been watching it every year, since it was released. The quality of the acting is outstanding and the chemistry between the two main actors is electric. I wouldn't be without this one in my collection and will continue to watch it every year, leading up to the christmas season.

Si realmente te gusta este clásico... entonces tienes que comprar el DVD. Está perfecto y se pudo reproducir en mi notebook. El empaque estaba un poquito golpeado pero nada para alarmarse, después de todo es una película del 2003.

A Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan classic. Cute story.
