Watch with bated breath as Harry and Sally navigate their twelve-year will-they-or-won't-they friendship in what the Hollywood Reporter calls a “beautiful, brainy, touching, and lilting romantic comedy.” Directed by Rob Reiner. (1989, 96 min. Rated R.)

For the past forty years, a group of comedy writers and directors has met for lunch every other Wednesday. The meeting places have changed, but their friendship and humor persist. Lunch goes beyond a single meal and into the lives of a veritable who’s who of old-school comedy, including Sid Caesar, Carl Reiner, and Monty Hall. A discussion with director Donna Kanter follows the film. (2012, 78 min. No MPAA rating.)
