The Beverly Theater brings one of the '90s most beloved romantic comedies to its intimate downtown screen. "Sleepless in Seattle" follows the story of a recently widowed father whose son calls into a radio talk show, setting off a chain of events that connects him with a journalist across the country. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan shine in this charming tale that became a defining film of its era, blending humor, heart, and that irresistible "will they or won't they" tension that keeps audiences invested from start to finish.

Director Nora Ephron crafted something special here—a romance that feels both timeless and distinctly of its moment, with references to classic Hollywood love stories woven throughout. The film's Seattle and Baltimore settings provide a gorgeous backdrop, while the script's wit and emotional authenticity elevated it beyond typical romantic fare. Watching it in The Beverly Theater's carefully designed 150-seat space, with its excellent acoustics and classic theater atmosphere, adds a layer of cinematic intimacy that streaming at home just can't match.
