What a relief! I thought I was the freak who didn't like this movie -- and for exactly the reasons you mention: they are both unlikeable people. In my mind, Sally was especially insufferable but it's been so long since I saw the movie that I no longer remember all the details. I haven't wanted to rewatch it to refresh my memory but I do recall being surprised at how much people seemed to love this film.
I remember even as a kid being irked at that scene for that precise reason. I was also incredulous that she would have been so expressive or loud- faking it or not- during sex, and I don’t think she’d be the type of person to even recognize that what she was doing was faking.
Gonna have to check out some of the good ones you listed now, yay escapism!
Maybe I enjoyed When Harry Met Sally so much because I really dislike romcoms. Noah, your analysis explains it to me: I liked the funny scenes and didn’t have to care about the characters!

This is great!
Now, PLEASE, do "Four Weddings and a Funeral!"

You will not convince me that “When Harry Met Sally” isn’t the funniest romcom of all time.
Millennials. They think their upside down view of the world is common, when everybody knows they're just weird.
Interesting to hear a dissenting opinion about a movie that has long been praised by others.
