In 1995, two Stanford researchers came up with a selected list of film clips able to elicit a single emotion. What 1989 film's scene that takes place in Katz's Delicatessen was the top-rated clip for amusement? (hint: what was she really having?)
"Harry Met Sally..."", in which director Rob Reiner cast his mother as a customer in a scene with stars Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan at Katz's Delicatessen, in which Ryan fakes what was described as ""a very public (and very persuasive) orgasm"". Approached by a waitress after Ryan finishes, Reiner deadpans ""I’ll have what she’s having"". The line was ranked 33rd on the American Film Institute's list of the Top 100 movie quotations, just behind ""Casablanca""'s ""Round up the usual suspects"". Reiner died of natural causes on October 25, 2008 at age 94 in her home in Beverly Hills, California."

She ultimately knocks him unconscious with a telephone and steals the keys. The opening sequence of the 2006 film ""Shortbus"" shows James (Paul Dawson) fellating himself on videotape; like all of ""Shortbus""s sexual content, the scene was unsimulated.

Zillmann's theory proposed the notion that viewer's are physiologically aroused when they watch aggressive scenes.

In 1974 Katz, Blumler, and Gurevitch used the uses and gratifications theory to explain media psychology.
