I couldn't sleep after that either

I recently watched Sleepless in Seattle and decided it would be better if they had taken out Meg Ryan. Suddenly, it becomes a masterfully crafted film about a father dealing with single parenting after the death of his wife. And it could be done pretty easily. There are very few scenes in which Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan actually interact, and you end it about five minutes sooner, just after Tom Hanks reunites with his son (who, by the way, is a little demonic). The only problem would be some of the sound editing in scenes that switch back and forth between the Meg Ryan and the Tom Hanks storyline, but I feel certain it's possible. And it removes all the whole creepy stalker issue that is Meg Ryan.

This isn't the same thing, but it's almost as good:
