Revealing mistake: There are several scenes Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks' computers do not have any telephone wires attached to them. They are in an era where they were using AOL dial up, as heard by the connection. They were not using wireless.
You've Got Mail (1998)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Nora Ephron
Starring: Tom Hanks, Greg Kinnear, Meg Ryan, Parker Posey, Jean Stapleton
After an entire movie of back and forth instant messaging, Meg Ryan discovers that Tom Hanks is her internet friend and despite the fact that he put her out of business, she forgives him as he didn't do it out of malice - it wasn't personal, it was just business. They get together.

Frank Navasky: A hotdog is singing. You need quiet while a hotdog is singing?
Trivia: In the scene where Tom Hanks is visiting Meg Ryan, she is in bed and he is sitting on the edge of the bed talking to her. Right before he gets up for a moment to pull up the covers over her, (now, turn the sound up for this one) he actually passes gas. You can hear the little "pop", he starts to grin and then probably realizes that the director is going to just continue on with the scene, so his grin fades and the scene goes on. I replayed this over and over. It really happened.
