Prefer his older,funny films before he got pretentious and personally skeevy.
Annie Hall won the Oscar,but I'll still opt for Take The Money And Run.

I'll go with Zelig since Hannah and Her Sisters isn't listed.

I have a spoft spot for Love and Death.
I like most of his movies....although he is skeevy. I find it interesting that his only biological son doesn't seem to be anything like his old man.

I voted for Sleeper, but Stardust Memories is a close runner-up.

I pretty much have Love and Death memorized. So many great quotes.

I also like Small Time Crooks. He and Tracy Ullman have a great comedy chemistry. The should work together more often.

Broadway Danny Rose is another favourite.

Match Point for me as well. Annie Hall is great too.
Manhattan looks so gorgeous and I love the Gershwin music, but the 40-year-old man dating the high school student is a story point I just can never get past.

Radio Days is a work of genius that gets better with repeated viewings.

My personal preference when discussing his periods would be the mid 80's when he seemed to have a lighter approach to his humor. Zelig, Broadway Danny Rose, Purple Rose of Cairo, Hannah and Her Sisters, Radio Days... that was a perfect run of Woody Allen movies for my wife and I.
New York stories is a great anthology, but I preferred Scorsese's portion of that film.

I haven't seen enough of them. Of the ones I've seen, "Bullets Over Broadway" is probably my favorite, although "Sweet and Lowdown" is also really damn good.

http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/go ... ?track=rss"Ronan Farrow certainly didn't forget dad Woody Allen on Father's Day, despite their reported decades-long estrangement. 'Happy father's day— or as they call it in my family, happy brother-in-law's day,' Ronan tweeted Sunday."

Well, they are both geniuses. They have that in common.

I think Allen's best is Hannah and Her Sisters.

Annie Hall for me but I love most of his movies. Radio Days was a lot of fun at the movies and many of the early ones are also great like Sleeper.
His last one Midnight In Paris was great and I look forward to the new one.
