Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan starred opposite each other in three movies between 1990 and 1998, but this one is widely considered to be one of the greatest romantic movies of all time.
What’s that you hear? The sound of Meryl Streep’s 21st Oscar nomination? Or is it the sound of Tom Hanks making it back in to the Best Actor category after getting shut out for Sully?
