The 1998 movie, directed and written by Ephron, was a remake of the 1940 film "The Shop Around the Corner," updated for the digital age. Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan) and Joe Fox (Tom Hanks) meet anonymously in a chatroom and begin an e-mail-only romance, unaware that Joe is the business titan running the chain bookstore that's threatening Kathleen's small children's bookshop.

Great quote: "Once I read a story about a butterfly in the subway, and today, I saw one! It got on at 42nd and off at 59th, where, I assume, it was going to Bloomingdale's to buy a hat that will turn out to be a mistake, as almost all hats are." –Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan)
