This Rob Reiner direction defined the modern rom com in 1989
When Harry Met Sally, the 1989 rom com directed by Rob Reiner and written by Nora Ephron, is turning 35 in July, but the anniversary can't come soon enough for stars Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan.
Ryan shared a photo of themselves on Instagram with the caption, “It’s finally happening, we’re reuniting for something iconic. Can’t wait to show you all soon 💙”
In this era of nostalgia baiting, that could be anything from meeting up on the red carpet, launching a new series, or attending a daytime talk show. However, what's interesting about the Instagram posts is the outfits. Crystal, 76, was wearing a cream cable-knit sweater akin to the one his character was known for, while Ryan, 63, was classic Sally in a tailored shirt and cardigan.

While the details of the reunion remain under wraps, fans are already speculating about what’s in store from groundbreaking rom com. So is it a special event? A sequel? A spin-off?
Of course, it has to be said legendary screenwriter Ephron passed away in 2012. Her skill for witty prose isn't something that can easily be replicated.
