You've Got Mail (1998 Nora Ephron & co-scr)

She wrote it with her sister Delia, and not much of the original remains (the scene in the restaurant), but it's a refreshing rethink centring on  struggle of little bookshop to survive against Starbucks-type rival. We didn't notice a Tintin or Winnie the Poo or Alice in Wonderland - no wonder the place was failing. Hanks and Meg Ryan are great (she hasn't done anything of note since Hanging Up - must watch I.Q. again). Here's her NYC loft apartment:



Handsomely shot by John Lindley and edited by Richard Marks (particularly noticed scene at drinks where Hanks and Ryan meet Greg Kinnear and Parker Posey).



With Steve Zahn, Jean Stapleton, Dave Chapelle, Dabney Coleman, John Randolph, Michael Badalucco (Coen Brothers films).
