SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE stars Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks reunite for Nora Ephron’s reimagining of the classic Shop Around the Corner story. He’s the owner of a bookstore chain; she’s the woman he falls for online. Both are unaware that she runs the little shop his company is trying to shut down.

1995, 90min/color, Digital
Directed by: Allan Moyle
Cast: Anthony LaPaglia, Debi Mazar, Maxwell Caulfield, Rory Cochrane, Renee Zellweger, Ethan Embry, Robin Tunney, and Liv Tyler
Joe (Anthony LaPaglia) runs Empire Records, an independent Delaware store that employs a tight-knit group of music-savvy youths. Hearing that the shop may be sold to a big chain, slacker employee Lucas (Rory Cochrane) bets a chunk of the store’s money, hoping to get a big return. When this plan fails, Empire Records falls into serious trouble, and the various other clerks, including Corey (Liv Tyler) and Deb (Robin Tunney), must deal with the problem.
