Why When Harry Met Sally is a fall movie Even though the story spans 12 years (1977 to New Year's Eve 1989), the emotional "center" of the film lives in fall in New York. Rob Reiner (director) shoots New York as tender, safe, and warm… not gritty. That was unusual in the late 80s, when NYC on film was still often crime and rough. He gives us an almost dreamy Upper West Side fantasy.. As the slight breeze starts to kick in during the midst of fall quarter, the primary season of rom-coms has officially begun. During the hustle and bustle of classes, homework assignments, and midterms, few things feel better than cozying up with a blanket and a movie that brings a sense of warmth and happiness.
