"You never know. You make a movie and hopefully you like it, and hopefully other people [do too]," the director said, according to People. "You have no idea if it will stand the test of time, and it's kind of cool that it did."

"I think that there are some basic truths about men and women that people connect with, and those kind of things, that dance, that weird dance that men and women do with one another kind of is basic and kind of there all the time," he added.

When Harry Met Sally... co-starred Carrie Fisher and Bruno Kirby. The film grossed over $92 million on a $16 million budget.

Ryan's last film role was in the 2015 movie Ithaca. Crystal will star in the upcoming movie Standing Up, Falling Down with Ben Schwartz and will have a voice role in the animated film Which Witch?
