My faves are:

Bullets Over Broadway
Radio Days
Manhattan Murder Mystery (except when Woody talks over the Guys & Dolls overture)

The great thing about his movies are the beautiful New York City scenery and his use of Gershwin music.

I know, I was quoting the other poster. I love that scene - Diane's like "who is in that urn?"

I'm in love with Marcia Fox's introduction, too.

"I'm a little drunk"
"You didn't have anything to drink"
"What are talking about? I had rum cake"

"I know--all the blood just rushed to my brother"

"Save a little craziness for menopause"

I forgot all about Husbands and Wives. Judy Davis is great in that. I love Mighty Aphrodite, Manhattan Murder Mystery, and Bullets Over Broadway.

My life is flashing before my eyes, and the worst part is I'm driving a used car...

Let me put it this way -- total psychotic break

I'd like to French pastry myself to death right now. As a matter of fact, I'd like another piece of pecan pie -- do I dare?

There are so many good ones!

My favorites:

Annie Hall (Oh my god, the scenes with Christopher Walken...)
September
Another Woman
A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy
Celebrity

Most of those are probably not considered his best, but they are still special to me.

Thank God I'm able to separate my feelings toward Allen and Michael Jackson enough to enjoy their work. In reality, they're creepy, creepy people.

I must confess that I love Celebrity if only for Leo's cameo

**Interiors - absolute favorite
Bananas
Manhattan Murder Mystery (it was like Diane Keaton came home)
Crimes and Misdemeanors
Annie Hall
Hannah...
Bullets...
Love and Death

I was only disappointed by Woody once - Deconstructing Harry.

Enough with the guacamole!

I'll never say life doesn't imitate art again.

You know, I've read that the plot for MURDER MYSTERY was in the original ANNIE HALL--when it was still titled ANHEDONIA.

[misschung]

Posted: 6/4/07 at 12:39pm

are you serious? I always say that it is a fair rival to Annie Hall in many respects.

the tape recorder sequence is Oscar worthy in itself.
"go to another thought!!"

[lildogs]

Posted: 6/4/07 at 12:50pm

Pretty sure--cause ANHEDONIA was about 2 1/2 hours long--they cut it down to just the Alvy/Annie stuff, thus ANNIE HALL.

I liked DECONSTRUCTING, doodle--was it the language you didn't like or the reality/fiction crossover?

[BroadwayChica]

Posted: 6/4/07 at 12:54pm

Annie Hall
Purple Rose of Cairo
Bullets Over Broadway

And Deconstructing Harry is vastly underrated.

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 6/4/07 at 12:55pm

Miss Chung, the tape recorder scene is one of my favorites...

I just didnt get Harry, lildogs...it wasnt the language at all, I just didnt think it was interesting or funny.

and reality/fiction crossover is NEVER a problem for me

[lildogs]

Posted: 6/4/07 at 12:58pm

PS - I really enjoyed his last three: Melinda and Melinda, Match Point and Scoop, which seemed to finally get him out of his rather embarrassing slump since Sweet and Lowdown in 1999.

[Cruel_Sandwich]

Posted: 6/4/07 at 1:06pm

just the thought of a fritz lang homage but with the standard woody character is hilarious

[lildogs]

Posted: 6/4/07 at 1:15pm

It's been a while since I saw it, Cruel--maybe it's due for a re-viewing...but I remember Julie Kavner stealing the whole movie with one great scene
