What are currently your 3 (or even 5 fave picks, if 3 makes it too difficult) personal favorite Woody Allen films made and released so far and please say why (for either the writing, the acting and casting, the direction, or a combo of all of these factors) for each film named.
<The Purple Rose of Cairo>
the truth between film and audience
<Manhattan>
the truth of city
<Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex,But Were Afraid to Ask>
the truth about u and me
Annie Hall ...just no way of getting around it
Hannah and Her Sisters...I don't care how much Allen complains; the ending works
Manhattan...I really don't find the romance with the Keaton character convincing, but a wonderful film nevertheless
Purple Rose of Cairo...or else why would I be here?
Love and Death...Take that, Tolstoy! Take that, Bergman!
What about play it again sam.
share"Play it Again, Sam?" Well, first ... I forgot. Second, good film that it was, I thought we were talking about his directing efforts.
share1. Zelig. A cinematic wonder. Technically awesome. Hysterical.
2. Play it Again, Sam. Best Allen slapstick to date. Jerry Lacy is perfect.
3. Hannah & Her Sisters. A meandering story that eventually ties up all ends.
4. Radio Days. Probably a very autobiographical film. Great acting & script.
5. Purple Rose of Cairo. Absolutely his best. Never topped. Award winning script. I see this film in my dreams. Thanks, Woody.
1. Annie Hall
2. Match Point
3. Bullets over Broadway
4. Hannah & Her Sisters
5. Deconstructing Harry (don't know why - but i have a soft spot for this film)
*Purple Rose is close behind....
Annie Hall
Hilarious, and really shows that art can be more perfect than life
Bullets Over Broadway
Hilarious, and really shows that if we could just knock off those who are inconvenient to us, we'd all be better off
Crimes and Misdeameners
Love it every time, but don't you wish Martin Landau's character would get punished? (despite what I said above)
Sleeper
Still laughing
Hannah and Her Sisters
A woman won by a poem... so romantic
Matchpoint
Maybe not in the top 5, but so psyched to be loving a Woody Allen film again!
Hannah and her Sisters
The Purple Rose of Cairo
Annie Hall
I love them all for the same reasons: they're all funny but moving and philosophical too. Exactly the kind of films I plan to make someday.
I'm an adult who loves Digimon and I don't care who knows it!
1. Stardust Memories - Too good, too great
2. Manhattan - Great Great Great and amazing cinematography
3. The Purple Rose Of Cario - it has to be done
4. Crimes and Mis/match point - keep fighting for match point....it will be seen as a classic in a few years
5. Zelig - Under rated gem and amazingness
1. Annie Hall
2. Manhattan
3. Purple Rose of Cairo (distant 3rd).
(I've only seen 4 Allen films - didn't care for Zelig beyond the technical aspects).
Annie Hall
Love and Death
Manhattan
Sleeper
