Contradiction
I removed the following:
- This scene, filmed at Katz's Deliin New York, was reportedly shot dozens of times, if apparently only for the amusement of the male camera crew, with Meg Ryan's character acting it out each time.
This contradicts the director comments on the DVD. He says that it was reshot because Meg Ryan was embarassed and shy, and that he had to demonstrate. KJ 06:18, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's fine, but I added Katz's Deli back. Hugh 12:35, 29 September 2005 (UTC)]
- I'd only seen the DVD once or twice; I was using a VCD as my source. I bought the DVD yesterday. Anyway, according to the DVD's special features, it seems the scene was indeed shot again and again. It wasn't an improv scene, since Meg Ryan mentioned that she could do it, when she first read that part of the script. It was her idea. --Kjoonlee 07:56, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Ellipsis
Rather than having three dots and no space, the title of this page should surely be
When Harry Met Sally …
as an ellipsis denotes indicates missing word or words. Paul Tracy|\talk 22:27, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
- That may be in some manuals of style, but I don't think it's a hard and fast rule. This is a movie title, not formal writing. In this case, the clear preference of the official typography (movie posters, official site, Amazon listing ...) seems to be running Sally and the ellipsis together, so I say no change is warranted. --Dhartung | Talk 04:42, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
"Many People"?
"Many people who have seen the movie said if they hear the title of the movie, the fake orgasm scene is always on their mind."
Who are these "many people"? A couple of friends of the person who wrote the article? Unless this sentence can be a bit more clear, I think it should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.38.11.146 (talk • contribs) 17:11, 4 August 2006
- Removed. --Kjoonlee 14:17, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
- The makers of the DVD release has some info on the fake orgasm scene, and just before it starts a large number of people can be heard saying that they remember the fake orgasm scene first or that they only remember that scene. I don't think it could be verified or peer-reviewed, though. Maybe people who didn't say anything about the fake orgasm scene just didn't appear on the DVD. --Kjoonlee 18:46, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Wikiquote
Wikiquote:When Harry Met Sally... has been linked from this article, and it's a lot better than it used to be. But it's still not perfect; I'd appreciate some help. Thanks. :) --Kjoonlee 14:18, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
Removed passage
I removed this from the article since:
- (1) It's IMHO probably of no general interest.
- (2) There doesn't seem to be any logical place to put it.
- (3) It's unsourced.

Good article
This article is well written and well referenced, and is an excellent overview of the topic. I was particularly impressed with the strong lead section. The article meets all of the
]significant catchphrase?
Google indicates that this film is the origin of the catchphrase "Women need a reason to have sex; men only need a place" Is this the case ? is it worth mentioning? I guess to do so would open a large box of worms Feroshki (talk) 09:07, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Merge soundtrack?

- Regarding merging When Harry Met Sally... (soundtrack) into When Harry Met Sally...
The soundtrack is not independently notable, even if there are useful content. In fact, I don't see how singles make the soundtrack independently notable, as there is not enough content to make the soundtrack page a strong stand-alone. --George Ho (talk) 22:35, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose seems to have sufficient sources to justify standalone article.--WP:FOUR) 15:23, 24 February 2013 (UTC)]
- Oppose merge - [invited by RfC bot] The article says "The soundtrack went to #1 on the Billboard Traditional Jazz Chart ..". Assuming that is correct (I have not read the sources) this is a slam-dunk for album notability per WP:NALBUM, so an article dedicated to the album is warranted. The list of songs on the album would look out of place in the movie article. --Noleander (talk) 00:36, 8 March 2013 (UTC)]
Saif Ali Khan?

Susan Dey, Elizabeth Perkins, Elizabeth McGovern, Molly Ringwald for the role of Sally Albright
As far as I can tell, the claim that these actresses were considered for the role is
At this point there are many sources which will confirm the claim about alternate casting choices (even the Independent), but I fear citogenesis is too great a risk, and we should avoid including this information without a reliable source predating 2009. — HTGS (talk) 03:12, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
