Top 10 feel good movies - 5 You've Got Mail

1998

Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan start an online relationship unaware that they are on opposite sides of a battle between a big bookstore chain and a local children's book shop.  Can the Hanks realises what has happened and Ryan starts to fall for Hanks, despite his part in her business downfall.  Can the relationship survive the revelation that he is also her mail buddy?

Favourite bit:
Hanks bringing Ryan daisies when she has a disgusting cold and refuses to leave until she is looked after.

Mike's view:
So much better than Sleepless in Seattle largely because Ryan is less soppy and much more credible.  It's a classic romcom setup and has great pace and a cracking supporting cast going through their own crises.
