Easter Eggs
The name of the bookstore in the 1998 remake, "You've Got Mail," is "The Shop Around the Corner."
This is a direct and loving homage from director Nora Ephron to the 1940 film. It explicitly acknowledges the film's source of inspiration, connecting the two movies for audiences and paying tribute to the enduring charm of the original story.
