Best New Years Eve Movie Scene?

Best New Years Eve Movie Scene?

It’s scenes like this from When Harry Met Sally that set impossibly high expectations for New Years Eve. Billy Crystal’s character has used up every last excuse and has almost struck it out with Meg Ryan. But then he shows up at the last minute to sweep her off of her feet.

Honestly now, what woman could resist a speech like this?

I love that you get cold when it’s seventy-one degrees out.
I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich.
I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you’re lookin’ at me like I’m nuts.
I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes.
And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night.
And it’s not because I’m lonely.
And it’s not because it’s New Year’s Eve.
I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

(Billy Crystal’s character in When Harry Met Sally)

Ahh, the love. The romance. The amazing 80s hairstyles.

What do you think? Best New Years Eve movie scene?

    I LOVE THIS MOVIE! I have this movie. One of my favorite scenes, the museum – when they are doing the Pecannnnn Pieeee speech and he sort of asks her out.

    Yes! Great movie and great New Year’s scene backed-up by old blue eyes singing “It Had to be You!”. Ahhh, romance…….

    Happy New Year!

    Oh this is the best and it might be a good one for us to watch tonight, since we are NOT Harry and Sally and we DON’T have plans.

    My wife is over my shoulder right now telling me I have to agree with you Brad that this is the best ever New Years Movie scene.
    Out of fear I am agreeing.

    Of course in man world we would never outright agree to this :)
