funniest movie ever

The line I always remember (I haven't seen it in a LONG time) was when he was waiting for Diane Keaton to come over for dinner and at first (as I remember) he was all confident then he slowly talks himself out of even wanting to date her and says something like, "I wish she'd hurry up & eat her damn steak and get the hell out of here!"

yes, woody's funniest for sure. one of the funniest as well. top 10 for sure.

I had Richard J. Anobile's picture book of the movie from 1977, with every line of dialog and a black & white still from every shot. Buy it!

script-o-rama.com has an entire shooting script. But that leaves out the sight gags, like after Allan scores and, on a natural high, he pats a guy reading a paper on the back... who falls off the bridge.

And the settings for the jokes, like the long walks up and down to Jennifer's house where Jennifer tells him "I slept with everybody. My schoolteacher, my sister's husband, the string section of the New York Philharmonic", he lunges at her, she says "What do you take me for?" and on the way down he muses "How did I misread those signs?"

SPOILER AHEAD The subtlest humor is the whole morning-after conversation, where Allan has had the greatest physical experience of his life, and Linda, well...

Allan: I haven't slept that well in years. Is it noon yet?

Linda: No, it's seven.

Seven? I didn't realise it was so early. You were fantastic last night in bed.

Thanks.

How do you feel now?

I think the Pepto-Bismol helped.


But Allan still confidently tells her:
"You felt like a woman last night and I felt like a man.
And that's what those kind of people do."

"with mountains of quotable lines"

I think Allen has some of the best in movie history.
They are just so random and off the wall, his movies never fail to cheer me up!
My younger sister even got into woody Allen after walking past the den and hearing him say "claustrophobia and dead bodies"!

Yes,but I can't quite remember my favorite from the movie: Bogart is trying to help Woody by feeding him lines, and Woody flubs it.
Something like:
Bogart: Tell she has such beautiful eyes.
Woody: You have such ... eyes.


Somebody help.

I agree, I also found it very funny

Could not agree more with the original poster. Love WA and have seen most of his older movies, now starting to catch up with his later ones.
The other one to give it a close run for me is Take The money and run ("I will break out of this prison if I have to stay here all my life").
