The movie is widely considered one of the greatest romantic comedies ever made and helped redefine the rom-com genre for modern audiences. Screenwriter Nora Ephron used real-life relationship conversations as inspiration while writing the script. The famous deli scene became one of the most iconic moments in movie history, and the line “I’ll have what she’s having” is still quoted decades later. The film’s soundtrack featuring jazz singer Harry Connick Jr. also became extremely popular and added to the warm New York atmosphere of the movie.
