FULL STORY
======================================================================Movie 
of the Day Every day, we cut through the bottomless list of streaming options 
and recommend something to watch. See all our Netflix movie of the day picks, 
or our Prime Video movie of the day choices. 

In the 1980s and 1990s, writer and director Nora Ephron was the queen of the 
rom-com: When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail were 
huge movies both commercially and culturally. You've Got Mail reunites the 
Sleepless duo of Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, casting them as rival bookstore 
owners who can't stand each other in real life, but fall for one another 
anonymously online. If you were around at the time, the computer stuff will 
make you feel absolutely ancient (and if you weren't, might be mildly 
baffling), but the movie itself has aged well and remains one of the great 
rom-coms from the 1990s  and makes for a great weekend watch among Netflix 's 
library. Watch You've Got Mail on Netflix You've Got Mail has a star-studded 
cast and some killer lines 

Rewatching the movie after 25 years, The Cut had some thoughts: "In 1998, it 
was still a little bit radical to meet your partner on the internet, 
especially in a chat room, but today, when rewatching Youve Got Mail , what 
we really noticed feels nearly unrecognizable is the Upper West Side, 
thepriceof apartments (duh) throughout the city, and Barnes & Nobles 
reputation." And Cosmopolitan was surprised by how many familiar faces are in 
it: "Dave Chappelle as Hanks' funny friend? Steve Zahn as Ryan's co-worker? 
Chris Messina as a bookstore employee?" 

 Entertainment Weekly did the recap thing five years previously, noting that 
the film was inevitable after Sleepless in Seattle "grossed $126 million 
domestically, helped establish Nora Ephron as the most formidable female 
filmmaker in Hollywood, and sealed Hanks and Ryan's reputation as the 
can't-miss combo of the '90s." The duo were "the Tracy and Hepburn of their 
time. The cutest couple on the big screen today", and Mail was "Ephron's 
slickest, most polished film to date". 

As Empire put it: " You've Got Mail attempts to imbue cold '90s technology 
with a warm fuzziness reserved for kids and kittens. And, in the face of well 
worn formula, it works. Kind of." You might also like Everything new on
