#34. You’ve Got Mail
Released in 1998, You’ve Got Mail is one of Meg Ryan’s most iconic rom-coms of all time. It tells the story of two business rivals who hate each other in real life, but totally fall for each other by e-mail. The film is filled with comic scenes, but one of them wasn’t scripted at all.
Remember when Joe (played by Tom Hanks) leaves the bookshop carrying a bunch of balloons in one hand and a goldfish on the other? The balloons get stuck in the door, and we hear Hanks say “It’s great it wasn’t the fish!”. Funnily enough, this line was totally improvised, as the balloons weren’t actually meant to get stuck in the door!
