  What if someone you never met, someone you never saw, someone you never knew was the only someone for you? Good solid movie. The story although very rare was pretty good and the chemistry between Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks in all 3 movies they have been on including this one has been great, almost perfect. If you're a romantic sucker you'll love this one. After his wife Maggie passes away, Sam Baldwin and his adolescent son Jonah relocate from Chicago to Seattle to escape the grief associated with Maggie's death. Eighteen months later, Sam is still grieving and can't sleep. Although Jonah misses his mother, he wants his father to get a new wife despite Sam having not even contemplated dating again. On Christmas Eve, Sam, on Jonah's initiative, ends up pouring his heart out on a national radio talk show about his magical and perfect marriage to Maggie, and how much he still misses her. Among the many women who hears Sam's story and falls in love with him solely because of it is Annie Reed, a Baltimore based newspaper writer. Annie's infatuation with Sam's story and by association Sam himself is despite being already engaged. But Annie's relationship with her straight-laced fiancé Walter is unlike her dream love life in the movie An Affair to Remember (1957). She even writes to Sam proposing they meet atop the Empire State Building on Valentine's Day. Back in Seattle, Sam has received hundreds of letters from women wanting to meet him. Jonah is excited by one letter in particular from Baltimore and will do whatever he needs to to get his father and Annie together. However, old fashioned Sam wants his future love life to be based on meeting a woman the traditional way, and he, in turn, becomes infatuated with an unknown woman he spots a few times in Seattle. Will magic happen twice in Sam's life, and if so will it be with this unknown woman or Annie?

  Another great classic!

  Decent movie, but both Hanks and Ryan have had better romantic comedies. Also the little kid is annoying as hell.

  "It was like... magic." Remembering Tom Hanks' career, my first memories of him was him being a lead in comedies and romantic films.'Big', 'Dragnet', 'Turner and Hooch' etc. Good films but nothing special anyways. 1993 was the year when everything changed... 'Sleepless in Seattle' came out but I'm not saying that this film changed it all. It was another '93 film called 'Philadelphia' that would win him his first Oscar. But that's another review... So, focusing on 'Sleepless in Seattle' now. First of all, I'm not a big fan of romantic comedies, or romantic films. They seem to be predictable with some exceptions. 'Sleepless in Seattle' is not one of the later ones but manages to be somewhat different from the masses. The story of the film is kinda beautiful but it's hard to believe that this would actually happen in real life. Two persons, never talked to each other, never spent time with each other, just happen to fall in love before even saying a proper "hello". Yes, I know... Movie magic. And it actually functions well! 'Sleepless in Seattle' has several good moments but some minor things caused me to dislike the film a bit. For instance, Meg Ryan's characters actions in her relationship, Tom Hanks' characters kid... Not fittin here properly. Bad acting maybe? The supporting cast does a really good job here. Rob Reiner, Rosie O'Donnell and Bill Pullman. Their characters happen to be a lot more interesting then the leads and bring some depth to the movie. 'Sleepless in Seattle' is in the end one of the better films in the romantic (comedies) movie genre. But no other romantic film has come even close to the best of 'em all... 'Love Actually'. But I do know that there IS something very special with the final scene. The top of the Empire State building, a dark star lit sky, NY city lights, the touch of a beautiful woman. There is something magical with the place...

  Although this film relies so much on the plot of 'An affair to remember' the central protagonists act splendidly. Every scene fits in seamlessly with the next; this film has so many quirks, namely 'David Hyde Pierce'(Niles from Fraiser) is supremely witty in his brief part as Ryan's (Annie's) brother. I also loved the theme of the United States map, the classic songs, Rosie O' Donnell's extra-marital affairs, Walter's allergies, Clarise's blandness (babysitter), 'tirimasu' and lastly but most importantly 'Jonah.' It wouldn't have been the same without him. The fact that the fashions of the 90's are reflected in the film makes it interesting. People didn't seem as interested in fashion trends in the 90's; I loved the coats. If you loved this movie you must watch 'You've got mail.' Sure this movie is a classic chic flick but it''s also an appropriate family film. I've watched this film many times with my family and although the boys groan when I say I'm popping it into the DVD film, there are no real objections. If you haven't watched it, do.

  I really fell for this movie out of my shear devotion to Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, the greatest on screen couple. It's a really unique concept and it worked really well. What sets it apart from every other romantic comedy out there is the lovable and, more importantly, memorable characters. It doesn't try to preach on life or call on self importance, that's why it's really easy to watch and retain a sense of reality.

  Sweet, sentimental and a little sickly but certainly not the worst rom-com/chick flick I've ever seen!

  Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan have made several great movies together such as "You've Got Mail" and "Joe Versus The Volcano," but in my opinion, "Sleepless in Seattle" is definitely the best movie that they have made together. Sam Baldwin (Tom Hanks) has been real upset and depressed since his wife died. Sam's son, Jonah (Ross Malinger) is just as upset, but he's ready to move on. Jonah wants a mom and thinks it would be best for his dad to meet a great woman. Annie (Meg Ryan) is from Baltimore and she has been recently engaged, but she's not exactly in love with her new fiance (Bill Pullman). Annie becomes obsessed with Sam after she hears him on the radio. Will Sam be interested in meeting Annie and even if he is, will they ever meet? You'll have to watch the movie to find out. After you see "Sleepless in Seattle," you'll understand why it was nominated and why it won so many awards. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan both do a great job like usual, and the director, Rob Reiner did a good job with keeping the movie interesting with the changes of attitude. "Sleepless in Seattle" is mostly a romantic drama, but it also has a few parts that are funny. If you've ever liked any of the other Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan movies or even if you haven't ever seen any of them, I recommend getting "Sleepless in Seattle." It's one of the best movies of its kind without a doubt. NOTE: That was my Amazon review from the year 2001. Heard soooooo much about this movie for years and years, but never saw it until years and years later. For me, I was wrong in this review, it's their most popular but NOT their (Hanks/Ryan) best movie together - that would be "Joe Versus The Volcano." Meg Ryan should've wore her hair down and kept it long...she was so much more beautiful with it like that.

  one of the cheesiest films, though somehow believeable, sleepless in seattle is a great story. plus that kid is really cute. meg ryan and tom hanks, a match made in heaven. the only part which could have been left out is that massive love heart on the empire state building.

  Romantic, funny and very touching feel-good movie. There's a lot of other positive elements I could mention here, but if there's one thing I really loved about this film, it was its wonderful cast. The chemistry between Tom and Meg is impeccable and the supporting actors do their job with no less charisma and enthusiasm. I'm usually not much on these type of romantic comedies, but this one has a really warm and genuine feeling to it; the kind that goes straight to the heart and leaves you smiling in the end. That being said, it's certainly worthy of its title as one of the best films in the genre.

  Sleepless in Seattle is another great teaming of Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. The music and storyline is very nice. A recent widow and father (Hanks) tries to get back on track. An evening on the radio with a on the air doctor provides insite to his son. While being on air a lonely woman yearning for more (Ryan) takes a special interest to the sweet story of this single father. Will these two looking for love find one another being hundreds of miles apart??? check this lovely film out.

  Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan is where the magic happens.

  The second Tom Hanks-Meg Ryan movie is so witty, insightful romantic comedy.

• Tim S

  
  I want to be Tom Hanks when I grow up.

  Another corny movie that I have seen two or three times because of Meg Ryan. Ross Malinger as Tom Hanks' son is memorable.
