Best Woody Allen Films?

[Futility Personified]

Saw Annie Hall earlier this evening and I believe. I believe very strongly in Woody Allen's films ability to make me happy. Can anyone enhance my next few evenings with some suggestions of what to watch next?

"You can't shoot me! I have a very low threshold of death. My doctor says I can't have bullets enter my body at any time"-Woody Allen as Jimmy Bond in Casino Royale(1967)

[The Feral Underclass]

None.

'everything you wanted to know about sex but were afraid to ask' and 'love and death' are both good.

[Dr Doom]

purple rose of cairo is my personal favourite.

deconstructing harry, love and death, manhattan, crimes and misdemeanors, midnight in paris and zelig are all great too.

Husbands and Wives is my favorite. Annie Hall comes close though.

Broadway Danny Rose is one of his funniest and most life-affirming post-Annie Hall films. Check it out. Also agree with Dr Doom above: Crimes and Misdemeanors is a fantastic film - one of Woody's darkest, though. A good late comedy, imo, is Manhattan Murder Mystery which reunites him with Diane Keaton.

I'd also recommend Stardust Memories as well, as a personal favourite, but there are at least twenty Woody Allen films that are worth watching.

What's Up, Tiger Lily? is one of the funniest movies ever made in the history of ever.

I didn't even know this film existed and had to wiki it, so THANX!

The wikipedia article also mentions an early comedy, Take The Money And Run, where Woody plays a compulsive but entirely useless criminal. One of my favourite lines is when he meets a woman in the park and the voice-over goes: "After 15 minutes I was completely in love with her. After half an hour, I'd totally given up on the idea of stealing her purse." :grin:

What is it about middle class neurosis that you all find so appealing?

[Magic Carpets Corp.]

What do you mean, "films"? He makes the same exact movie over and over and over and over and over and over again, just with occasionally different casts.

It's aspirational for all us working class neurotics.

Incidentally I watched Blue Jasmine yesterday and I thought it was excellent...
