The basis of western thought and canonical English literature versus 'You've Got Mail'. Yes there is a difference.

  "You've Got Mail" is based off an extremely influential play from 80 years ago. I'm sure there is real analysis that could be done on it. Parfumerie, by Laszlo, inspired The Shop Around the Corner, In the Good Old SUmmertime, She Loves Me, and more.

  Surely it's good for society to have somebody studying these films.
