SLEEPER.

WHATEVER WORKS.

SMALL TIME CROOKS.

CURSE OF THE JADE SCORPION IS A CLOSE 4TH.

reply

Whatever Works is underrated! A script Allen wrote with Zero Mostel in mind winds up going to Larry David. Pretty great!

Broadway Danny Rose

I didn't like his later films too much. Anyway I believe as do Diane Keaton, Alec Baldwin, and many others of courage that he's innocent. Dylan is lying for self promotion purposes.

reply

I don't know that Dylan is consciously lying, any more than the children in the McMartin School case were consciously lying. I think that she honestly believes what she says, which may well have been inculcated in her by her mother when she was a little girl. Which still makes her a victim, but not of Woody Allen.

reply

Well said!

reply

Accord to Dylan's brother Moses, who was also an Allen accuser as a small boy, but grew up to believe Allen & forge a relationship with him, their mother did her best to make the smallest, youngest children hate Allen.

Now, I obviously can't know the truth of the matter. But the preponderance of evidence that's come out does support Allen over Mia at this point.

reply

Yes, that's how they got all those fake witchhunt cases in the '80s. The kids were coerced to make things up and rewarded for doing so. There is a great documentary called The Friedmans which I recommend about a similar scenario. In that one they were teens, but they were all threatened: either give false testimony or we'll come after you too. This whole thing is a coronavirus of hysteria that's obviously contagious.

reply

SOmeones gonna come out and theyre gonna bust this thing right open.
They are going to come out and expose the practices they do.

reply

In no particular order:

Play It Again, Sam
Hannah and Her Sisters
Vicky Cristina Barcelona

reply

Annie Hall
Radio Days
Broadway Danny Rose

But honestly, there are about ten others that I love just as much.

By 'Controversy' you mean 'unfounded allegations'?

Anyhow:

1) Play It Again Sam
2) Love And Death
3) Broadway Danny Rose
