It would have been so nice if the special features had been included on or with this Blu-Ray! Or, what could have been done (as I have seen with other movies and even some video games before) is that you have the main title on Blu-Ray and then your special features are on a separate Blu-Ray or DVD (but included in the package with your Blu-Ray).I see the movie is in stock, as of this writing on 3-25-2015. However I really love this movie on Blu-Ray and plan to get a used DVD of the movie just so I can get all those special features. I am not picking on or making fun of Meg Ryan, rather I am making the point that she looks nothing like she did in “Sleepless In Seattle” and it is not just because she is older.The *Blu-Ray’s (*Sleepless in Seattle ( Sleep less in Seattle ) [ Blu-Ray, Reg.A/B/C Import - Sweden) picture quality and sound quality compared to the DVD are so much better! The one gripe I have about this edition of the movie is the lack of special features compared to previous DVD releases of the film. I have never seen that movie, and I may or may not ever see that movie, so, my review is based on as well as inspired by “Sleepless in Seattle”.I attempted to capture the heart and soul of “Sleepless in Seattle” in my review and it was extremely difficult to do so (for me personally anyways) without giving away the plot or the entire movie for that matter.This movie did come out in 1993 – so could I have been more liberal in my description of the characters and the plot? Perhaps, however I wanted to write a review with the idea it was being read by someone who had never seen the movie.While the plot is not that complicated, and at points in the movie may even be predictable (or it may not be) that does not in any way take away from how great this movie is.This movie is Tom Hanks at his finest, not too long before Forest Gump as well as Meg Ryan when she was still Meg Ryan.I am sorry to bring it up, BUT Meg Ryan looks so different now it’s almost as if I have trouble even thinking of her as Meg Ryan. This movie is as I have been told, a re-telling or re-interpretation of “An Affair to Remember”. However while Annie is certainly looking and yearning for something more, she also has no idea what it is exactly that she may even be looking for!Sam decides to start a new life, or rather a new chapter in both his and Jonah’s life in Seattle Washington….new home, new job, new everything except for he then starts to feel a need for something more as the new chapter of his life has just began.Through a few things that may or may not just happen by chance at just maybe the right times – both Sam and Jonah, as well as of course Annie may find not just what they were looking for but a lot more than they ever could or would have dreamed of finding.Now that’s my DVD or Blu-ray ‘cover’ portion of the review….I wanted to try and capture the essence of what THIS movie is about without actually revealing anything about the movie. While Sam and his son Jonah (Ross Malinger) are trying to find what their next home and place in life might just be - there is someone else in search of something as well in Baltimore, MD.Annie Reed (Meg Ryan) a writer lives in Baltimore, MD with her Fiancé Walter (Bill Pullman) and on the surface as well as to even herself is very happy but yet also seems to be lacking something, and in search of something. Academy Award Nominations: Best (Original) Screenplay, Best Song ("A Wink and a Smile").Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2015Ī man in Chicago, Sam Baldwin's (Tom Hanks), wife passes away and he starts to wonder if Chicago is still the place for him and his son to live. Although Annie's supposed to be driving to her future in-laws' house for the holidays, she knows that she's already fallen in love with Sam and is on the road to destiny. To complicate matters, she's afraid her upcoming marriage promises stability and security but no excitement. Recently betrothed Annie Reed (Meg Ryan) is one of the many listeners touched by Sam's story. His plight profoundly moves the program's sympathetic female listeners, and thousands of women write in offering to help him `recover' from his mournful insomnia. When Sam hesitantly takes the phone and discloses the story of his magic-filled marriage, he proves to be a deeply feeling and gentle man. One night his precocious 8-year-old son Jonah calls a late-night radio talk show seeking a cure for his father's despondency. Sam Baldwin (Tom Hanks) is a good father and a successful architect.
