"Sleepless in Seattle" is a romantic comedy-drama film released in 1993, directed by Nora Ephron and starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. The plot centers around Sam Baldwin (Hanks), a recently widowed architect who moves to Seattle with his young son Jonah to start anew. Jonah, worried about his father's loneliness, calls a radio talk show on Christmas Eve to find him a new partner. Annie Reed (Ryan), a reporter in Baltimore, hears Sam's story on the radio and becomes captivated by him, despite being engaged to another man.

The film follows the emotional journey of both characters as they navigate love, loss, and destiny, culminating in a heartfelt meeting atop the Empire State Building, reminiscent of the classic film "An Affair to Remember."

The soundtrack of "Sleepless in Seattle" is as memorable as the film itself, featuring a collection of timeless classics and contemporary hits that perfectly complement the movie's romantic and nostalgic tone. Key tracks include Nat King Cole's "Stardust," Louis Armstrong's "A Kiss to Build a Dream On," and Jimmy Durante's "Make Someone Happy," each adding a layer of emotion and depth to the narrative. The soundtrack also features modern songs like "When I Fall in Love" performed by Celine Dion and Clive Griffin, which plays during the film's iconic final scene. 

The combination of these classic and contemporary tunes creates a rich auditory experience that enhances the film's exploration of love and serendipity.
