Sadly, Nora Ephron passed away today at the age of 71. She was a brilliant writer and director among a great many other things. So much of her work was about character and romance, love and relationships, intimacy, comedy, and timing. It's hard to get those subjects right. It's even harder to write them extremely well. It's insanely difficult beyond reason to create a script full of dialogue that flows naturally and feels real.
Ephron excelled at this and whether she only wrote it (When Harry Met Sally) or wrote AND directed it (Sleepless in Seattle, Michael, You've Got Mail). She was behind some great flicks and will definitely be missed.
When Harry Met Sally is one of my all-time favorite movies and without a doubt my favorite rom-com. If you haven't seen it, you owe it to yourself to just go out and buy it. It's a classic.
