I'm a huge fan of Woody Allen and it's really fun to go back and re-watch some of his earlier work.
This past week, the Film Forum in NYC was showing Annie Hall - it was great to watch a quintesential New York movie in a theater in New York.
For those who havn't seen it, Annie Hall focuses around Alfie, (Woody Allen) a little man with all sorts of 'issues' including two ex-wives and their associated sex lives. When Alfie meets Annie (Diane Keaton), she's very different from the women he's used to: Annie is from the mid-west, from a 'normal' all-american family and has an anti-semitic grandma. Annie is also not quite the New York intellectual Alfie is used to. The film follows the development and then subsequesnt decline of their relationship with looks into sex, love, drugs, family history and, of course, the benefits New York vs. Los Angeles.
This movie is hillarious, I've seen it a million times and still laugh from beginning to end every time i watch it. It's interesting to see Diane Keaton so young! She was absolutley gorgeous... kinda funny when you see her in Osteoperosis commericals now.
I highly recommend this movie!

6I love Annie Hall.. Woody allen movies are all about dialogue and relationships and how quirly and messed up in wonderful ways each ones of us really is..
Excellent example of his work at its best. I also loved Purple Rose of Cairo.
7Oh my gosh this is one of my all-time favorite movies!!! I think this is the role of Diane Keaton's life, she is so spectacular in this film. And I wish I could use this line to just easily break up with guys: "What we have here is a dead shark." (or however that line goes!)
8added it to my queue
9HAHAHA>... what we have here is a dead shark! love it!
10Love Annie Hall. Love Woody Allen. Take the Money and Run was funny as heck. I also liked Anything Else.

Honestly, this is the best comedy of all time. It really launched Diane Keaton's career and is a great snapshot of the New York in the 1970s. Love it!
