He recognizes her from the airport and says "Hello", but Annie can only respond with another "Hello" before fleeing. Annie watches Sam and Jonah playing on the beach together but mistakes Sam's sister Suzy ( Rita Wilson) for his girlfriend. While dropping Victoria off at the airport for a flight, Sam sees Annie exiting from her plane and is taken by her, although he has no idea who she is. On the advice of his friend Jessica ( Gaby hoffmann), Jonah replies to Annie, agreeing to the New York meeting. Jonah, a baseball fan, reads Annie's letter and likes that it mentions the Baltimore Orioles, but he fails to convince his father to go to New York to meet Annie. Sam begins dating a co-worker, Victoria ( Barbara Garrick), whom Jonah dislikes. She does not intend to mail it, but her friend and editor Becky ( Rosie O'Donnell) does it for her and agrees to send Annie to Seattle to "look into doing a story on those radio shows". After watching the film An Affair to Remember, Annie impulsively writes a letter suggesting that Sam meet her on top of the Empire State Building on Valentine's Day. She is engaged to Walter ( Bill Pullman) but feels there is something missing from their relationship. One of the listeners is Annie Reed ( Meg Ryan), a Baltimore Sun reporter. Hundreds of women from around the country hear the program and touched by the story, write to Sam. Jonah persuades Sam to go on the air to talk about how much he misses Maggie.

But such fantasies are what movies are made for, especially romantic comedies, and for this release of the soundtrack to Sleepless in Seattle on LP, we at Real Gone Music have issued a 'sunset' vinyl edition that'll cause you to gaze dreamily at the horizon (glass of wine not included).ġ.
The music was so powerful, in fact, and so integrated with the screenplay that it helped gloss over the incredibility of the film's premise, which, as you might recall, had Meg Ryan falling in love with Tom Hanks, a stranger she had never met, merely from hearing him being interviewed on a radio talk show on Christmas Eve. Indeed, the film re-introduced a whole new generation to the unique charms of Jimmy Durante with his renditions of 'As Time Goes By' and 'Make Someone Happy' over the opening and closing credits, respectively, resulting in a boomlet of enthusiasm for the work of the ol' Schnozzola. With artists old (Louis Armstrong, Nat 'King' Cole, Gene Autry), new (Céline Dion, Harry Connick, Jr.) and somewhere in between (Carly Simon, Joe Cocker, Tammy Wynette), the movie's array of songs (many chosen by Ephron herself) appealed to hearts of every vintage and tastes of every stripe, and the tunes themselves represented the best that the Brill Building and Nashville had to offer.

One of the great trio of romantic comedies starring Meg Ryan that were written and/or directed by the late Nora Ephron (When Harry Met Sally and You've Got Mail being the other two), 1993's Sleepless in Seattle was arguably the most romantic movie of its generation, and its soundtrack was a big reason why.
