Brilliant! What else?

I get this strange sence that this is the movie I've been waiting for myself to see. I like woody allen's mind, but before this movie, I didn't really have any reason to. Somehow I knew he was capable of making a film like this, and it was just up to me to find it. Can anyone recommend anything else?
In the past 3 months, I've had 3 this-is-my-favorite-movie experiences:

The life Aquatic
Old boy (a mind trip, made in asia)
and now Deconstructing Harry

I'm going mad over here... It doesn't seem right to find your favorite movie every few weeks!

Is there anyone who loves this movie as much as me who can give me some sound advice?
Thanks!

Theres more but might as well start with the very best.

Well, I luuurve "Deconstructing Harry" and think it's one of the finest films ever made... I haven't however not had a chance to find anything like... except maybe "Wonder Boys" with Michael Douglas.

That one had a little of the same magic... little.

Other Woody Allen movies to check out are:

Take the Money and Run (his first)

Celebrity

Crimes and Misdemeanours...

Just to name a few. If you just want a list of great movies, it could go on forever, but here are some more. Amazing...

Reservoir Dogs
A Simple Plan
Lost Highway
The Professional
True Romance
Easy Rider
Blade Runner...

Like I said, it could go on forever. I agree with you by the way...Deconstructing Harry is brilliant.

There's definitely better Asian cinema than Old Boy: check out anything by Wong Kar Wei, specifically In the Mood For Love and 2046. As far as Allen, I'm still looking into all of his movies, this one was great, though.
