Woody Allen fans: Favorite Movie?

[geardaddy]

I'd have to say my top three are:
"Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask)"
"Sleeper"
"Broadway Danny Rose"

[Lost in CT]

1. Crimes and Misdemeanors

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097123/

[geardaddy]

3. Another good one.

So many good ones. It's hard to choose.

[redqueen]

2. Annie Hall

[geardaddy]

4. Yep.

I like that one too. That's in my "obvious favorite" category.

Mira Sorvino - Mighty Aphrodite - Highlights

[geardaddy]

6. Yes.

Another good one.

[Auggie]

7. Bullets Over Broadway

[Tyrone Slothrop]

8. Manhattan

But I'm also a big fan of Bananas, Take the Money and Run and Hannah and Her Sisters.

[geardaddy]

10. No wonder you like Manhattan.

:P

[Deja Q]

9. "What's Up, Tiger Lily", "Annie Hall", "Sleeper"

[geardaddy]

11. I haven't seen "What's Up, Tiger Lily"

in ages. I'll have to put that on my Netflix queue

[surrealAmerican]

12. Love and Death, Sleeper, and Bananas.

13. Love and Death

Drill Sergeant: You want a dishonorable discharge?
Boris: Yes sir, either that or a furlough.

Drill Sergeant: One, two. One, two. One, two.
Boris: Three is next, if you're having any trouble.

Countess Alexandrovna: You are the greatest lover I've ever had.
Boris: Well, I practice a lot when I'm alone.

Soldier: He was from my village. He was the village idiot.
Boris: Yeah, what did you do, place?

Sonja: To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy, one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down.

Sonja: Boris, you can't be serious, you're talking about Mother Russia.
Boris: She's not my mother. My mother's standing right here, and she's not gonna let her youngest baby get shrapnel in his gums.

Sonja: Violence is justified in the service of mankind.
Boris: Who said that?
Sonja: Attila the Hun.
Boris: You're quoting a Hun to me?

Sonja: What are you suggesting, passive resistance?
Boris: No, I'm suggesting active fleeing

Sergeant: If they kill more Russians, they win. If we kill more Frenchmen, we win.
Boris Grushenko: What do we win?

14. Yeah, there are some great lines.

I'd forgotten how good that movie was.

19. I recently saw Love and Death for the first time

I couldn't get over what an obvious and intentional homage to the Marx Brothers' style it was, as well as an affectionate mockery of Bergman.

Funny stuff, and Diane Keaton is great in it!

[underpants]

22. Wheat!

I believe it was Woody's take on "War and Peace" but his "early funny ones" were all heavily influenced by the Marx Brothers, I think.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

15. "Bananas"--although it's funnier if you remember

Howard Cosell and J. Edgar Hoover

"Love and Death" is second.

[geardaddy]

16. I remember both of them.

Haven't seen "Bananas" in a while.

[geardaddy]

17. I'd put "Zelig"

in there too.

[Orrex]

18. Husbands and Wives

Though Annie Hall is close to perfect, Judy Davis is so magnificent in Husbands and Wives that she elevates an already excellent film well into the stratosphere.

[barb162]

20. "Love and Death" and "Annie Hall"

[MilesColtrane]

23. I'd have to allow for the Comedy/Drama distinction.

And, those would go to "Annie Hall" and "Crimes and Misdemeanors".
