Forget Rob Reiner's new film, The Bucket List. (Actually, forget Rob Reiner's last eight films.) Go rent, or actually you should just buy When Harry Met Sally, recently rereleased in a great new collector's edition, full of extras. The special features are great on this edition and we'll focus on those later, but with a film like this, which most people probably haven't seen in a decade or more, it's the rediscovery of a modern classic that is the true special feature. When Harry Met Sally hasn't just held up in the 18 years since it was released, it's actually better. That could be a byproduct of the fact that I was 14 when it first came out and it only seems better with a few more years under my belt, but When Harry Met Sally is one of those movies that I know I'll return to again and again, like the classic romantic comedies it inspired. And now the movie that made Meg Ryan a star has become an inspiration and a tentpole in itself. When a critic recently told me that he liked an upcoming romantic comedy, I asked him if it was "When-Harry-Met-Sally-good." We both knew instantly what that meant.

The featurettes produced for this new edition of When Harry Met Sally are surprisingly long, thorough, and entertaining. The two best of the seven featurettes are "It All Started Like This," which is essentially just a recorded conversation between Nora Ephron and Rob Reiner as they remember the early days of the project. It was the third that Reiner pitched to Ephron and she claims that when she heard it, she pictured the whole movie nearly instantly. Even better is "What Harry Meeting Sally Meant," a great look at what the movie did not only to the careers of the people involved but to the genre as a whole.

Meg Ryan's absence. It's sad that the movie that made her a superstar, America's sweetheart, and the girl next door didn't merit a trip to a studio for one day to do a commentary or an interview. We hope Meg is busy making another movie. She's a better actress than she's ever been given credit for. But it's likely that we wouldn't even remember her name if she hadn't made When Harry Met Sally, so you would think she might have something interesting to say about the project twenty years down the road.

It plays constantly on cable, but I'll admit that I hadn't seen When Harry Met Sally in years and I bet there are more than a few people out there like me - ones who remember it fondly but haven't actually watched it in a while. Do yourself a favor and pick up the new collector's edition. It will remind you of why you loved the film in the first place or make you fall in love with it all over again.
