Sleepless in Seatle (PG) Presented in glorious 35mm

Sleepless in Seattle at Revival House Perth

Get ready for the romantic comedy that defined a generation and proved that love stories could be both smart and swoonworthy. Nora Ephron's 1993 classic pairs Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in a magical tale of connection across impossible distanceand they barely share the screen together.

Hanks plays Sam Baldwin, a recently widowed architect whose eight-year-old son calls into a radio talk show on Christmas Eve, determined to find his dad a new partner. Halfway across the country, Baltimore journalist Annie Reed (Ryan) hears the broadcast and becomes convinced this stranger might be her destinydespite being engaged to someone else. What follows is a charming meditation on fate, timing, and whether we're brave enough to take chances on love.

Ephron crafts a love letter to classic Hollywood romance while creating something entirely contemporary. The film's countless references to An Affair to Remember aren't just nostalgicthey're about how movies shape our expectations of love and whether real life can ever measure up. Rita Wilson's tearful retelling of that classic film is one of the most perfectly pitched scenes in romantic comedy history.

With its witty dialogue, gorgeous Seattle and New York cinematography, and that unforgettable finale atop the Empire State Building, this film earned over $227 million worldwide and secured both leads as romantic comedy royalty. The chemistry between Hanks and Ryan is so potent they barely need to be in the same room.

A perfect date movie that's equally perfect for watching solo with a pint of ice cream.

Present in authentic 35mm film for the true cinematic experience!
