Jack Nevada Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) I'm currently watching Stardust Memories and I thought of making this thread. So what is your favorite film directed by Woody Allen? He's absolutely my favorite director and I've seen most of his pictures. There have been plenty of stinkers (Scoop. Bleurgh) but he has done some amaaaazing movies, man. Mine has to be Manhattan, with Midnight in Paris coming in close second Edited March 22, 2013 by Jack Nevada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Hannah and Her Sisters definitely. Crimes and Misdemeanours and Purple Rose of Cairo are two awesome ones as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Movie Man Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Hannah and Her Sisters definitely. Crimes and Misdemeanours and Purple Rose of Cairo are two awesome ones as well.Yup. Agreed.

The Movie Man Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Also Vicky Cristina Barcelona was a nice change of pace one for the wood man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I guess if I had to pick a film it would be Bananas but I've never really been a fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acsc1312 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I've seen about 5 or 6 of his, but Annie Hall is still the best, hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Like trying to pick a favorite child! I'd probably say Manhattan or Hannah. There's also Love and Death, Annie Hall, Stardust Memories, Broadway Danny Rose, Purple Rose, Crimes, Husbands and Wives, Deconstructing Harry. I felt like one of the few Woody fans who didn't love Midnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichWS Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Sue me. I loved Corey Stoll as Hemingway, and Owen did a pretty good job playing Woody. Rest of it fell pretty flat for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichWS Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Oh, Scoop is terrible. I would say it's right at the bottom for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 Oh, Scoop is terrible. I would say it's right at the bottom for him. Its baffling how he made that right after Match Point, which is a damn good movie. Even more amazing is that 5 years after Scoop he makes Midnight in Paris, one of his best, and then follows that up with the utterly mediocre To Rome with Love. His career is uneven to say the least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 When you make a movie a year, you're gonna have your highs and lows. You can never give up on Woody because he might actually make a good one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 Yeah you're right. its such a gamble walking into a Woody Allen movie, because it could always go either way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
