One of my favorite movies is While You Were Sleeping. Sandra Bullock (as Lucy) does a great job acting in this movie. I love how we can totally get on her side the whole movie! You are rooting for Lucy to get the Peter (Peter Gallagher) character because she so wants him at the beginning. But as soon as she meets Jack and we start to understand that Jack (Bill Pullman) really likes Lucy, we start rooting for Jack to steal Lucy. Lucy is wanting to be apart of a family so much but she can't stand to tell the truth. If you haven't seen this classic you are truly missing out! It has a great happily ever after...which to me makes it a great movie. It also has some greats in the movie world...like Peter Boyle (from Everybody Loves Raymond), Glynis Johns (from Mary Poppins), and Jack Warden (from All the President's Men and 12 Angry Men).
