The 1989 classic is perhaps Ephron’s most indelible work. From the electric chemistry between Billy Crystal and Ephron favorite Meg Ryan, to its all-too-true observations of inter-gender friendships, Ephron’s script elevated the movie into a high echelon of romantic comedies. And, then, of course, there’s the deli scene — one of the all-time great moments in movie comedy, with a punchline delivered in a killer cameo by director Rob Reiner’s mother.
