Sad news came late yesterday that Nora Ephron has died at age 71, after a battle with leukemia. In an effort to celebrate her work, let's revisit some of the best scenes from her classic, utterly-New York movies. (And let us also remind you that the You've Got Mail website is still up, and worth exploring.)
When Harry Met Sally (so much more than the Katz's orgasm!)
But yes, there was that famous Katz's scene...
Sleepless in Seattle
You've Got Mail (yes, we unabashedly love this movie—and Meg Ryan's apartment in it)
The clips from this movie aren't all embeddable, but you can see the elevator scene here, and the Zabar's supermarket scene, which features Sara Ramirez, here.
