- Sleepless in Seattle is a romantic comedy.
- Sleepless in Seattle is a 1993 American romantic comedy-drama film directed and co-written by Nora Ephron. Based on a story by Jeff Arch. It stars Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, Ross Mallinger, Bill Pullman, Rosie O'Donnell, Rob Reiner, Victor Garber and David Hyde Pierce. The film was inspired by the 1957 film An Affair to Remember and used both its theme song and clips from the film in critical scenes.
- __NOEDITSECTION__ Kyle exhibits strange behavior that shocks the Tragers.
- Sleeper Hit from the early Nineties which infused a fluffy Romantic Comedy with a degree of Post Modernism. As director/co-writer Nora Ephron put it, "Our dream was to make a movie about how movies screw up your brain about love and then if we did a good job, we would become one of the movies that screwed up people's brains about love forever." The film is a bit nontraditional in that the romantic leads don't even meet until the very end.

| - Sleepless in Seattle is a movie about an unlikely couple falling in and out of love.
- Sleepless in Seattle is a romantic comedy.
- Sleepless in Seattle is a 1993 American romantic comedy-drama film directed and co-written by Nora Ephron. Based on a story by Jeff Arch. It stars Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, Ross Mallinger, Bill Pullman, Rosie O'Donnell, Rob Reiner, Victor Garber and David Hyde Pierce. The film was inspired by the 1957 film An Affair to Remember and used both its theme song and clips from the film in critical scenes.
- __NOEDITSECTION__ Kyle exhibits strange behavior that shocks the Tragers.
- Sleeper Hit from the early Nineties which infused a fluffy Romantic Comedy with a degree of Post Modernism. As director/co-writer Nora Ephron put it, "Our dream was to make a movie about how movies screw up your brain about love and then if we did a good job, we would become one of the movies that screwed up people's brains about love forever." Tom Hanks is Sam Baldwin, a widower grieving over his wife's death. His cutie son Jonah's idea of helping him involves calling a radio talk show and putting his dad on the air. Annie Reed (Meg Ryan) happens to tune in when this happens and she falls in love with him. Sam and Annie then spend the rest of the movie trying to find reasons not to meet. You can guess what happens at the end. The film is a bit nontraditional in that the romantic leads don't even meet until the very end.
* Adorably Precocious Child: Jonah is absolutely adorable, and way too smart for his age.

* Bags of Letters
* Blind Date
* Boy Meets Girl
* Deadpan Snarker: Sam
* Disposable Fiance: Walter, possibly the most disposable of all disposable fiances.
* Functional Genre Savvy: Annie, played with and lampshaded.
* Held Gaze: On the Anniversary Edition DVD cover shows Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan looking into each other's eyes like this because it is the quintessential "romantic" pose.
* Hey, It's That Guy! /HeyItsThatVoice: Jonah was (the first voice of) T.J. Detweiler.
* I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Walter at the end.
* Missing Mom
* Minor Flaw, Major Breakup: Walter's allergies.
* No Romantic Resolution: What happens after they meet?
* Parent with New Paramour: At one point, Sam dates a woman who Jonah hates.
* Post Modernism
* Race For Your Love
* Stalker with a Crush: Annie looks Sam up on the high-tech 90's computer and pretty much stalks him through the city.
* The Mountains of Illinois: Seattle has no subway.
* You Watch Too Much X: See Becky's quote at the top of the page.
