What Netflix streaming movies are isomorphic to When Harry Met Sally?

June 30, 2012 7:46 PM

What Netflix streaming movie should I watch tonight, given that When Harry Met Sally isn't available there?

I really wanted to finally watch When Harry Met Sally tonight, but apparently it's not available on Netflix streaming. Drat! I searched for my next few choices along those lines (Thelma and Louise, Harold and Maude, Annie Hall, Switch...) but none of them are available on Netflix streaming either!

Help! What movie(s) should and can I watch tonight?

I'm looking for movie suggestions that are actually available on Netflix streaming (which turns out to be way more of a limiting factor than I'd expected!) and have that sort of quirky, charming, intelligent, relation-driven quality to them.

Thanks!

Sleepless in Seattle and Heartburn are both on netflix instant. Breakfast at Tiffany's, Charade, The Graduate, Last of the Mohicans and Eternal Sunshine are as well!

Here's the filmography of Nora Ephron, who wrote the script for When Harry Met Sally. I bet some of those would scratch your rom com/streaming itch!

Can't imagine you wouldn't love to watch Broken Flowers. Hell, now that I think about it, I might just watch it.
