- When Harry Met Sally (1989) It's true: Nora Ephron wrote the script for the best romantic comedy of all time. (I will not be taking objections at this time.)
- Sleepless in Seattle (1993) Ephron directed and wrote Sleepless in Seattle, another classic rom-com starring Meg Ryan. The film is about a recently widowed father (Tom Hanks) whose son, hoping to find a new wife for his dad, calls into a radio talk show, sparking the curiosity of a journalist (Ryan) who lives across the country.
- Heartburn (1986) Ephron adapted Heartburn, her novel of the same title, for the big screen in 1986. The story is about a woman who, among other things, discovers her husband is having an affair...
- You've Got Mail (1998) Back to the rom-coms! Ephron reunited with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan for You've Got Mail, which she wrote and directed in 1998.

There’s nothing quite like Ephron’s film Bewitched, and that includes the television show Bewitched on which it is based. The sitcom series has a simple premise with an easy metaphor; a young couple get married, only for the bride to reveal after the wedding that she is actually a witch. The new groom implores his wife not to use her magic, to most...
The only film Ephron directed without having written the script, Lucky Numbers is loosely based on a true story about a man who rigs the lottery in his favor. In this film, John Travolta stars as a local celebrity weatherman and snowmobile dealer who uses his relationship with a model/lottery ball puller (Lisa Kudrow of Friends fame) to attempt to ...
Based on a French film called Le Père Noël est une ordure (roughly, Santa Claus is a Stinker), this ensemble Christmas comedy stars Steve Martin as a stressed-out owner of a crisis hotline as his coworkers (Madeline Kahn and Rita Wilson), neighbors (Adam Sandler and Robert Klein), and callers (including Liev Schreiber) drive him and each other abso...
Ephron’s best attempt at a supernatural comedy takes the form of Michael, starringJohn Travolta as the titular archangel. When two tabloid journalists (William Hurt and Robert Pastorelli) and a supposed angel expert (Andie MacDowell) discover a winged man, they negotiate to bring him back to Chicago with them to be photographed. The road trip along...
In Julie & Julia (and another film later on this list), Ephron proved to be a soothsayer for how the internet would change the way we interact with one another. The split narrative creates a contrast between the old school television celebrity and postmodern internet fame. The former is Julia Child (Meryl Streep nailing it as usual), who transforms...
It’s very likely most readers have never heard of this movie, which is a shame. Nora Ephron’s directing debut is one of the jewels of her career. This Is My Life follows a family composed of two sisters (Samantha Mathis and Gaby Hoffman) and a single mother (Julie Kavner, keeping her signature Marge Simpson husk) as the matriarch finds fame in a st...
This list’s entries aside, there’s nothing quite like Sleepless in Seattle. Many romantic comedies since have used disconnection as their main hook by placing the would-be love birds apart, but this is usually predicated on deception (Sierra Burgess Is a Loser) or some supernatural phenomenon (Your Name). Instead, Ephron just draws out the meeting ...
Hanks and Ryan appeared in two other narrative features outside this list (sure you know Joe vs. the Volcano, but can you name the other one?) and it’s not difficult to see why they were cast together so often; their ability to create chemistry without needing to interact is unmatched. In You’ve Got Mail, Ephron once again pairs them together… sort...
- when Harry Met Sally…’ (1989) When Harry Met Sally… is such a classic that it was on my radar long before I had ever even seen it, having eaten in the famous Katz's Delicatessen on a family trip to New York (where I wasn't old enough to have the "I'll have what she's having" joke explained to me).
- sleepless In Seattle’ (1993) Like so many of the films in this list, I grew up with Sleepless in Seattle. As a kid, my parents often tried to get me to appreciate some of their favorite films, to which I wasn't always the most receptive.
- you’ve Got Mail’ (1998) One of the great rom-coms of the ‘90s and one of Ephron’s classic Hanks-Ryan collabs is You’ve Got Mail. This is one that I've revisited throughout the years (and gotten into many discussions with friends over the big business propaganda of the film).
- silkwood’ (1983) In Ephron's Hollywood breakthrough, she told the story of Karen Silkwood, a plutonium plant worker who started investigating her workplace when she believed her supervisors were exposing their workers to radiation.
