I tried watching some of his old works, but usually can't tolerate more than 30 minutes.
Match Point
Annie Hall
Manhattan
That's a really hard selection and, for me, mostly changes daily. He has made SO MANY good films.
Boy this is tough
Love & Death
Husbands & Wives
Blue Jasmine
There are about 20 of his films that could replace any of those depending on my mood at the time though.
Agreed! One of the only filmographies where you could pick three films (almost) at random and go, "Yeah, those are great choices".
shareWhich is exactly what I thought when I saw your choices Ace. I loved that you included Match Point, definitely a jewel in his later work.
shareMatch Point is so underrated, not just in a list of his works, but in general. It should make best ever film lists.
I dig your top choice. Love and Death is, I think, his funniest film in terms of sheer number of laughs. It's also the last of his "mostly comedy" era where he was mostly just gunning for laughs. A great transition from that section of his work to his bringing in philosophy more strongly to the foreground (not that his "just" funny films are short on philosophical insight (Sleeper!))
Yeah, "Match Point" is exceptional and curiously underrated.
