Part of the charm of the 1993 film is how different it was, and still is, from other films like it. Where is Sleepless in Seattle streaming?.Meg Ryan ditches her boring, cursed-pajama-wearing fiancé and.she, Tom, and Small Son all meet on top of the Empire State Building! Tears! Love! Immediate family! The end.Apparently, because Small Son flies to New York to meet up with Meg Ryan.Was there really an era when children could buy plane tickets and fly alone?.Aw, Tom sees Meg Ryan at the airport while he’s dropping off the decorator and is instantly in love with her, despite not actually talking to her.I am begging Tom to stop confiding in Small Son about his personal life.I can’t even handle someone in the ’90s saying, “Don’t you hate flying?” They practically gave you your own king-size bed back then! Talk to me when you’ve flown Spirit in the COVID era!.Meg Ryan’s hair game is really on point in this movie.Small Son completely cock-blocks his dad, and calls the decorator a “ho.” Yikes! But not within her earshot, thankfully.This kid’s bedtime is 10 p.m.? Guilty widowed dad much?.Small Son does not like the decorator, and in his defense, she has an annoying laugh.Small Son gets Tom to agree to meet “Annie from Baltimore” at the Empire State Building on Valentine’s Day, and I have to say, the pre-“stranger danger” era was wild.Small Son loves Meg Ryan’s letter, but Tom is too busy wooing his decorator to pay attention.

“What we think of as ‘fate’ is just two neuroses knowing they're a perfect match.” Important and real statement.Meg Ryan’s fiancé is wearing an all-red pajama suit that I can only describe as “toxic.” She’s clearly not thrilled about his snoring.All these thirsty women are now sending Tom fan mail, despite the fact that they don’t know what he looks like.Oh noooooo, Tom’s dead wife visits him in a New Year’s Eve dream and he tells her, “I miss you so much it hurts.” I’m going to have to watch a much worse and less emotionally weighty rom-com after this.Apparently, 2,000 women called the station looking to be Small Son’s dad’s new wife.God, remember when everybody used to listen to call-in radio shows? No? I’m old.I hope it’s because he earned enough from this movie to leave “the business” in his dust. I wonder if this kid ever did anything else in Hollywood.Oh my God, I straight-up forgot Small Son and Tom live on a houseboat-type thing.Small Son calls into a radio station asking the host to help him find his dad a new wife, and Meg Ryan overhears it/is charmed.They met through a classic sandwich mix-up, as one does. Meg Ryan is marrying a guy who seems to be allergic to everything.Hey, it’s the mom from Six Feet Under! I love this woman.He’s adamant that he won’t start dating again. Okay, Tom and his small son are moving from Chicago to Seattle.So much hair! Although I have to say, I prefer him as a zaddy. The literal first scene of this movie is in a graveyard.Why the fuck did I think watching a movie where Tom Hanks explains to his small son that his mother has died would make me feel better?.Below, find an unabridged guide to every thought I had while rewatching the eternal classic Sleepless in Seattle-released 29 years ago today. Luckily, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan are always there for me.
(Okay, first I like to protest and donate to abortion funds, but when the anger and sadness have run their course, I need to watch something to cool off.) It’s been a very bad, no-good, horrible, rotten, 24 hours, and I don’t know about you, but when I’m seething over the loss of my constitutional right to reproductive freedom, I like to watch an old rom-com.
