You've Got Mail + The Shop Around The Corner

"That's a very interesting mixture of poetry and meanness."
"Meanness? Let me tell you something about meanness--"
"Oh, now, don't misunderstand me. I'm only trying to pay you a compliment."

See a video here of the two scenes above back to back and look at the similarities. It's really funny!

I never knew that You've Got Mail was a redo of the Jimmy Stewart classic The Shop Around The Corner in the way that a lot of the dialogue and scenes are exactly the same. Now I can't decide which one I like the most!
