Woody Allen Films

I know people hate Annie Hall but I love it. Sleeper too.

Radio Days

"Radio Days" and "Crimes and Misdemeanors" are my two favorites. I think "C&M" is his masterpiece.

R1 - why do people hate Annie Hall?

Woody Allen first choice for the part of Sally in 'Husbands & Wives' was Jane Fonda (this was after Mia decided to take the part of Judy).

However Woody wanted Jane to change her hairstyle. She refused, so Woody went with choice number 2. Judy Davis who got a Oscar nomination.

Michael Keaton was originally cast in The Purple Rose of Cairo.

He took a significant pay cut to go the film, but Woody felt it wasn't working and fired him.

He was replaced by Jeff Daniels.

Among other people **FIRED** from a Woody Allen film. Sam Shepherd, Michael Keaton, Maureen O'Sullivan (replaced by Elaine Stritch), Emily Lloyd, Christopher Walken, and Charles Durning

I love Annie Hall and Husbands & Wives. Really like Manhattan. Then there are a bunch that are okay but kind of the same thing over and over.%0D %0D I recently saw Hollywood Ending and it was that same tired schtick he's been doing ever since his last good one decades ago. But it did have a memorably amusing, self-aware twist at the end. (Hope that doesn't count as a spoiler.)

Wasn't their an almost entirely different cast for SEPTEMBER as well. And much it was shot when he decided to start over? Can't imagine that happening with any other director. Maybe that's why we get so much shit in the theaters these days?

Allen needs to stop making films; with each new one he diminishes his reputation. At least he seems to be over his fetish for Scarlett Johhansson.

His latest film, "You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger" is bearable, although only by comparison to the shit he's been pumping out over the last 10 years.

Another Woman

Annie Hall

Crimes and Misdemeanors

Bullets over Broadway

Vicki Cristina Barcelona

One of Woody's most underrated film has to be 'Another Woman' starring Gena Rowlands. That was a great film.

Mary Steenburgen was fired from that film as well.

Annie Hall (by far my favorite)

Purple Rose of Cairo

Crimes & Misdemeanors

Broadway Danny Rose

Hannah and Her Sisters

Has he ever made a movie that didn't star himself or some other stammering neurotic playing him?

Kate Winslet was fired from Match Point and replaced by Scarlett Johhansson.

For those wondering why so many actors wind up getting fired, is that he never asks actors to read for him. Either they accept the job or not (without even seeing a script).

After viewing dailies, if he feels it is not working he'll fire the actor and find someone else.

I prefer when he's not in his films. But then he still gives characters his awful neurotic voice. At least in Vicki Cristina a lot of "his" dialogue is done in Spanish so it's less recognizable. When his voice comes through Scarlett, like in that ghost mystery one with Hugh Jackman, it's unbearable.

Hannah and Her Sisters%0D %0D Annie Hall%0D %0D Purple Rose of Cairo%0D %0D Play It Again, Sam%0D %0D Manhattan

every single one of them - including Interiors - up to Celebrity.

He's obviously suffering from dementia if he thinks Scarlett Johannson than Kate Winslet.

Oh, that's right. He's a girl hungry pedophile who has no time for real women. SJ's legal, but she was young and fresh when she was (horribly) cast in "Match Point".

Crimes & Misdemeanors

Hannah & Her Sisters

Manhattan Murder Mystery

Husbands & Wives

Radio Days

Sleeper

I recently went on a library DVD binge of his more recent ones and was glad I didn't bother going out and paying for them.

Annie Hall, Manhattan, and Crimes and Misdemeanors are my favorites, but I also liked the early, funny ones, especially What's Up, Tiger Lilly?

I soooo love Hollywood Endings

Love and Death Purple Rose of Cairo Shadows and Fog Manhattan Murder Mystery Play It Again Sam Hannah and Her Sisters

In terms of recent efforts I also liked Hollywood Ending and I would have really liked Scoop if the ending weren't so shitty but his best recent efforts don't belong in the same category his greats. There are other films like Crimes and Misdemeanors which I found to be of very high quality but for some reason I like his more lighthearted or mixed films.

Oooo I forgot Sleeper and I dig Radio Days as well. Damn this man is a genius.. a nasty freak... but a genius.

Hannah and her sisters, Annie Hall, Alice, Manhattan Murder Mistery, Husbands and Wives and Another Woman which is my favourite.%0D %0D Also pleasantly surprised by Tall Dark Stanger. His most overrated film is Matchcpoint.

I agree, R2, I watch CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS at least once a year. It's absolutely brilliant.

the short film - a part of the triptych "New York Stories" - "Oedipus Wrecks" is CLASSIC

Annie Hall

Sleeper

Crimes and Misdemeanors

Match Point

Hannah and Her Sisters

Bullets Over Broadway

Interiors (dated but Geraldine Page and Maureen Stapelton make up for it)

Most of his early stuff was great. The last Allen film I loved was Manhatten Murder Mystery. It was a pleasure to see him playing someone in love with a woman his own age!

mine would have to be interiors...how can one forget mary beth hurt referring to maureen stapleton as a vulgarian...

i also have a soft spot for deconstructing harry...woody meets the jump cut that movie was...

I thought Tea Leone was unconvincing in Hollywood Ending. I'm surprised she didn't get the boot if that's what Allen often does. Anyone else agree or not?%0D %0D Maybe I just couldn't buy her as the serious businesswoman -- she talked too slow and lazy.

Annie Hall

Hannah and Her Sisters

Radio Days

Bullets over Broadway

Crimes and Misdemeanors

Manhattan Murder Mystery

I can watch any of the above at any time -- I enjoy them over and over. Manhattan and a few others are great, masterpieces even, but I don't enjoy repeated viewings.

I second R35, Deconstructing. . . was Freaky-deaky

Manhattan has one of the most impressive, beautifully shot, beginnings of any movie I've seen. One particular nighttime image perfectly defines NYC: the shot of a packed Yankee Stadium in the background as a subway filled with riders in the foreground goes to its various destinations.%0D %0D Crimes and Misdemeanors is probably my favorite of his movies, although I love most of the ones mentioned here. (I would also add Zelig.)%0D %0D Another thing: Sleeper is a lot of fun on the big screen.%0D %0D Manhattan Murder Mystery makes me laugh more than the others. ("What are you making a face for? He's the father of our country.")%0D %0D One last thing: I think Everyone Says I Love You and Small Time Crooks are underrated.%0D %0D Allen's movies went downhill in the 2000s, although I would like to see the one that starred Larry David.

Do most people really think he's a pedophile? I won't defend him on the Soon-Yi business. I know they have lasted, but what he did was appalling and immoral, but truthfully, I don't believe he molested Dylan.

Judy Davis is so superb in Husbands and Wives. The scene where she's on a date, twitching and overlaughing and spewing venom, is hilarious and scary and sad.

Love Radio Days and think about it often. On the last Top Chef, the chefs were using fish, including fluke. I was immediately reminded of Diane Wiest identifying fish on a radio show. "That's a flouder. NO, that's a fluke. [pause] That's a fluke."

The Purple Rose of Cairo is so lovely and melancholy. I used to live in An Arbor, Michigan, near where Jeff Daniels lives. He has a theater near there called The Purple Rose.

I think that he made a lot of movies.

Not long after Robert Downey Jr. left rehab (or was it jail?), Woody made a big deal in the press about wanting to hire him but was unable to due to the insurance costs. RDJ was very pissed off. Does anyone know what movie/role RDJ was considered for?

STARDUST MEMORIES is his masterpiece (with Sharon Stone's first screen appearance). HUSBANDS & WIVES and HANNAH AND HER SISTERS are also genius. As for the last decade, VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA and MATCH POINT are as good as anything he's ever done, while WHATEVER WORKS was a major disappointment. ANYTHING ELSE has some good things in it, but the eleventh hour restructuring of the film and deletion of a big subplot makes the film seem inconsequential. I have a particular fondness for ALICE and it may be my all-time favorite Allen ensemble: Judy Davis, Cybill Shepard, Mia Farrow, William Hurt, Joe Mantegna, Bernadette Peters, Gwen Verdon, Blythe Danner and Alec Baldwin.

MIDNIGHT IN PARIS this year is a project he has been working on for at least 15 years, so let's hope it turns out like another SWEET & LOWDOWN labor of love.

Meryl Streep has taken Woody to task for being a 'Neanderthal'

Jane Fonda would have been better in Husbands and Wives than Judy Davis

Robert Downey Jr AND Winona Ryder was suppose to be in one of Woody's films (can't remember which one) but he couldn't get insurance on either of them.

Beat me up if you want, but I liked Melinda and Melinda. Also Bullets over Broadway -- Dianne Wiest was an absolute hoot.

Say what you will, Woody always has at least one wonderful actor in every movie.

Hannah and her Sisters is playing right this second on TCM. Very funny and very well done. It's scary to see Barbara Hershey in this as compared to her in Black Swan. Yikes, what happened?

Glad to see so much love for Crimes and Misdemeanors - I don't hear it discussed as much as Annie Hall or some of his other movies, but it's my favorite.

Annie Hall is a fine movie, but I've never really been drawn to it in the same way as some of his other films. I've seen it a couple of times, but it doesn't grab me like C&M.

He's considered a great director, but this thread only highlights how abysmal his success rate is. Almost 50 years as a director and most of us are naming the same handful of films as his best. And his best films are the only ones that are tolerable.

Stardust Memories? Are you kidding, R44. Definitely minor Woody. Actually pretty bad.

Sharon Stone gives an UNFORGETTABLE performance in Stardust Memories

Unforgettably bad.

Which is tough when you don't have any lines.

[quote]He's considered a great director, but this thread only highlights how abysmal his success rate is. Almost 50 years as a director and most of us are naming the same handful of films as his best.

What other directors have more than a handful of "highlights?"

Did NO ONE mention Interiors? My all time favorite.

Jesus!

Manhattan

Annie Hall

Hannah (which Woody reportedly hates)

Bullets Over Broadway

I haven't seen a Woody Allen film in over ten years and I used to see them on their opening day.

R59 - three posts before you mentioned INTERIORS. Can you read?

I liked Zelig.

He hasn't made a movie worth watching since Sleeper.%0D %0D

R54, you're being willfully obtuse.

I'm not being obtuse. He's overrated, period.

He's probably a better writer than he is a director, but even his best films aren't exceptional.

I stand by what I said, Soon Yi.

STARDUST MEMORIES

ANOTHER WOMAN

CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS

ANNIE HALL

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S SEX COMEDY

R54, but still, with possibly five great films, five good films, he's doing better than most.

Purple Rose is probably my favorite.

I am also a fan of Manhattan, Annie Hall and Hannah.

I don't like picking favourites but these are all the films of his I've enjoyed enough to give them at least 7/10.

Take The Money And Run

Play It Again, Sam

Bananas

Sleeper

Love and Death (funniest film ever? very possibly)

Annie Hall (less the whiny bits more the comedy)

Interiors (much better than I expected)

Alice (I was really surprised by what an interesting, and fun film it was)

Husbands and Wives

Manhattan Murder Mystery

Deconstructing Harry

That's about it. Whatever Works surprised me- it wasn't terrible. But DH was definitely his last hurrah, as far as I'm concerned.

Shame Jerry Herman wasn't allowed to get the rights to turn PURPLE ROSE OF CAIRO into a Broadway mucical. That could be wonderful.

There used to be talk of a Bway Musical version of Bullets Over Broadway...

ayb, you've never seen Crimes & Misdemeanors? Because that would have to be in one of your Best Ever Woody Movies list.

The character Woody plays in "Deconstructing Harry" is based on Philip Roth.

reallY?

I like Deconstructing Harry, but thought Hollywood Ending was superior.

Vicky Christina Barcelona was definitely one of the better films of 2008, but of course faaaaaaar from his best. Penelope Cruz was fantastic but Johansson was just beautiful to look at and not much more.

The fact that one of Woody's "so-so" films is one of the best movies of the year, shows how starved we are of decent screen-writing these days.

R72, I've seen it- I think it's clever but it's not for me. It's a little too nihilistic for my tastes. A 3 star film, yes, but not 3.5 or higher, imho.

I mean if I was to include the 3 star films then yes, it would get a look in- and so would Mighty Aphrodite, Zelig, Bullets Over Broadway, VCB and Manhattan (although the love story is a little skeevy with the age difference).

Crimes and Misdemeanors and Hannah and her Sisters are two of my favorite films. Purple Rose of Cairo is a beautiful movie. Of his serious films, Another Woman has held up very well, although I didn't think much of it when it came out. And September, which seemed like a dud when it came out, is now something of a gem.

I also, surprisingly, find Love and Death to be light years better now than it seemed to me when it was released. It's one of the funniest movies ever made and Allen and Keaton are marvelous in it, a true comedy team in the old fashioned sense. Although I loved Sleeper when it came out, it has not lasted as well.

Stardust Memories I mostly remember for Charlotte Rampling's performance. Manhattan survives for me only for Mariel Hemingway who is so touching in it. And Bullets Over Broadway, though very good, is for me Wiest's masterpiece, not Allen's.

Least favorites: Interiors (in spite of fine performances, especially from the senior members of the cast).

Crimes and Misdemeanors is one of my favorite films of all times. Glad to see it so often here represented.

R41, Daniels lives in Chelsea, not Ann Arbor. The Purple Rose Theater is also located in Chelsea.

So no one could see Jane Fonda instead of Judy Davis in Husbands and Wives?

Or what about Michael Keaton instead of Jeff Daniels in Purple Rose of Cairo?

"Purple Rose of Cairo" is far and away my favorite, followed by "Manhattan".

[quote]So no one could see Jane Fonda instead of Judy Davis in Husbands and Wives?

I totally could. She has (or used to have) that nervous energy that would have been right for the character. She cac play cold well, too.

No mention of CASSANDRA'S DREAM, which was pretty good. %0D %0D But I find I have a hard time remembering some of them soon after I've seen them. WHATEVER WORKS stunk out loud; but I also saw YOU WILL MEET A TALL DARK STRANGER, and I can hardly remember the plot. Some of these films are like Chinese food: half an hour later you're hungry again.

I remember laughing a few times at that one with Christina Ricci and Jason Biggs (I think it was Everything Else). That's more than I can say for most of his later stuff.

September (thought it was a yawn when it first came out but now it seems one of his very best dramas, Stritch is fine and Wiest gives a gorgeous dramatic performance)

Also, an honorable mention to the Mariel Hemingway scenes in the otherwise lovely but unexceptional Manhattan; Hemingway is heart-breaking and those scenes are exquisitely directed

and now Midnight in Paris, an unexpected delight

Bump for the two part American Masters series on PBS on Allen.

Did anybody watch?

I liked the PBS doc a lot. It was interesting to learn about his writing process and see him interact with actors on set. There are so many of his films that I want to watch again now that I'm older.

Haven't seen the doc yet. Did they talk about Interiors much?

Kevin Spacey told Regis and Kelly that he wanted to work with Woody Allen but had not been contacted. Will this happen? And are there other actors that Woody Allen might not see as a good fit with any of his new films?

Big bump for Alice.

Stardust Memories

Annie Hall

Crimes and Misdemeanors

Another Woman

No contest. "Bullets Over Broadway" is forever the best.

The Purple Rose of Cairo

Alice (probably my all-time fav)

Another Woman

Manhattan Murder Mystery

Vicky Christina Barcelona

Radio Days = The story of my youth.

I've seeen many of Allen's films - but not all.

I love "Interiors" - especially for the brilliant performances of Maureen Stapleton and Geraldine Page.

I could watch "September" again and again and again - and have.

"Another Woman" is worth watching just for the scenes between Gena Rowlands and Sandy Dennis. Both are exceptional.

"Alice" - Love it.

"Annie Hall" - Sets the standard.

I can watch Radio Days over and over. So heartfelt and real.

Crimes and Misdemeanors (never get tired of it, Angelica Huston, Martin Landau, Woody and Mia were all great in it)

Midnight In Paris (Magical, Paris looks even more beautiful in this movie and I love Owen Wilson's Woody impersonation).

Radio Days (a sweet movie with great music)

Love and Death (hysterical)

The Purple Rose of Cairo (the expression on Mia Farrow's face at the end is so lovely/heartbreaking)

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex (Gene Wilder and that sheep!)

Manhattan (mainly for the opening and ending)

I'm starting to like Stardust Memories, just watched it on cable, but I'm not sure about it.

I saw a couple of his films recently for the first time. Manhattan Murder Mystery was funny, although I didn't for a moment buy Diane Keaton's character as Jewish (if she was supposed to be). Husbands & Wives was a giant snoozefest - straight peoples' problems.

I feel like Annie Hall is a little overrated. I guess it was revolutionary at the time, but having seen so many of his other films, it doesn't seem that special in comparison. Same neurotic characters bitching about how difficult it is to squeeze in museum visits, tennis matches, and jazz concerts in between psychiatrist sessions.

Was not that impressed with You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger, Hannah and Her Sisters, and Play It Again, Sam. They were ok, just kind of rote, nothing special about them. Love and Death is slapstick, Mel Brooks, joke every line but still tries to be political and philosophical and neurotic at the same time. Kind of exhausting.

Manhattan is another I think is a bit overrated. The "consensual" pedophile relationship is incredibly gross and unrealistic. The black and white is supposed to make it so much more "artistic" and "classic" or whatever, but it's just distracting because with the lighting it's sometimes hard to even make out what's on screen. Broadway Danny Rose suffers from the black and white, too. Sometimes it's hard to tell the characters apart.

Interiors is ok. Woody is not great with straight drama. I didn't really care if she killed herself. Seemed like everyone would be better off. And the rape kind of came out of no where.

Crimes and Misdemeanors seemed so disjointed to me, like there wasn't one plot there were seven. It was just so all over the place. It was like watching a soap opera or Real Housewives of New York. You get 3 minutes of two characters, then you move onto another completely unrelated vignette and nothing is really resolved and it's hard to tell what's important or who we are supposed to care about. There's a long sequence with Alan Alda and you think he's important and then you never see him again. It's so weird. Too many characters and storylines for one movie. Apparently Darryl Hannah was supposed to have a much bigger part but it got cut when he decided to focus more on other characters in the editing room. Clearly he had no idea what was supposed to be important when he was shooting or writing the script.

[all posts by fucking cunt troll deleted.]

What about Dylan's truth?

Manhattan is his most bizarrely overrated film.

Husband and Wives is the other wildly overrated Woody Allen film.

No one can say enough about Another Woman. It's powerful, and moving, and so loving in its acceptance of loss and the imperfect nature of life. I just love it.

So glad to see others on this thread who don't get the Manhattan love. I never thought that movie was all that great.

And yes, R118, Another Woman is fantastic! Gena Rowlands is just magnificent, and Sandy Dennis is wonderful in the 5 or 6 minutes that she appears. That movie's a gem.

Zelig. Sleeper. What's Up Tiger Lily? (I'm just weird, I guess.)

Manhattan is his all time best.

I also like Husbands and Wives and Crimes and Misdemeanors.

R102 I don't think she was supposed to be Jewish, she was just married to one so she had his last name. Am I missing something?

She was the reason that movie worked, btw. It's not as if the script was particularly strong. I can't even imagine that movie with Mia Farrow - I'm not saying she can't be a good actress but manic comedy isn't exactly her forte. She would have sucked the energy out of that role big time.

As it turned out, Woody ended up being the "straight man." It was great, and one of my favorites in retrospect.

Hated everything he made except Bullets. For all his neuroticism, there has always been a smugness in his work that is off-putting.

Deconstructing Harry was it where Robin Williams charter was literally out of focus?

Annie Hall, Hannah and Her Sisters and BLUE JASMINE

So many BRILLIANT films to pick from. A top 10 would be:

Purple Rose of Cairo Annie Hall Broadway Danny Rose Hannah and Her Sisters Blue Jasmine Radio Days Deconstructing Harry Crimes and Misdemeanors Bullets Over Broadway And the vastly underrated Another Woman

Just saw SEPTEMBER - not a fan.

Weist seemed as though she were having a real "Hole or Pole?" dilemma regarding Farrow/Waterson. The old guy pining for Farrow came off as pathetic. Stritch needed to actually slap Farrow, besides yelling at her. I would've known whether the land title was in my name, but then again I'm not a helpless, self-pitying wimp.

$200,000 to pay off her debts, with enough left over for a Manhattan flat, made the film seem REALLY dated.

Manhattan, certainly and Stardust Memories (his 8 1/2). I'm ashamed to say I've never seen Another Woman and me such a big fan of Gena Rowlands (Love Streams by John Cassavetes an all-time favourite of mine and what about A Question of Love?!!! made for tv!). Let's talk more about Gena.

Crimes and Misdemeanors Annie Hall Hannah and Her Sisters Manhattan

Hated ALL of them.

Sleeper was my favorite childhood movie. As I got older, I also loved Love and Death and Annie Hall of course. And there's a handful of others that are definitely worth watching, but I stop following him when he went into his art house phase.

r130, differences in opinion should be tolerated, but not when they're too different!

Husbands and Wives Hannah Matchpoint Manhattan Interiors Alice Manhattan Murder Mystery Radio Days Another Woman

Wow, you guys are a big fan of a pedophile rapist. Pretty gross.

I also like Rolling Stones songs, actually I like a lot of rock ( a lot of sexist and pedo in rock n roll). I like hip hop R&B ( sexist amd pedo in hip hop ), I like a lot of classic films ( sexist and pedos in Hollyweird), my point is, you can admire the art doesnt mean you support or admire the men behind it. Almost every facet of our world, thats been predominately driven by men have sexist /pedo attached to it.

Match Point is his personal favorite of all of his films, with Purple Rose, Stardust Memories and Crimes & Misdemeanors rounding out the top slots. Very curious to see A Rainy Day In New York if it’s ever released, ditto the movie he is filming in Spain this summer.

What OP listed, but also September. It's a drama, a bit depressing.. but I thought Mia Farrow was excellent in it, especially at the end.

Radio Days

Hannah and her Sisters

Allen is great at created homages to the idealized past, and that's why I always loved Radio Days. Mia Farrow was so great in her transition from slutty cigarette girl ("Who is Pearl Hobbuh?") to ultra-glam socialite. And Manhattan Murder Mystery is just classic, Diane Keaton at her goofy best. One thing you can say for Allen, he certainly always gave women plenty of work.

I wont watch anything Woody Allen related anymore but when I did, my favorite was a non comedy titled...........interiors............it really is an eccellent movie and very well acted/

Bullets Over Broadway and Manhattan.

Bullets Over Broadway, Midnight in Paris, Love and Death, Annie Hall.

I loved Midnight in Paris - just because he filmed Paris so beautifully.

My first WA film was Sleeper and it was hilarious.

I dislike him so much now, it's hard to be objective. But his pedophilia shows in too many of his films. He is ruined for me.

R136, that's quite the movie title, "Husbands and Wives Hannah Matchpoint Manhattan Interiors Alice Manhattan Murder Mystery Radio Days Another Woman"

Unless you meant, "Husbands and Wives, Hannah, Matchpoint, Manhattan, Interiors, Alice, Manhattan Murder Mystery, Radio Days, and Another Woman"

R147 Hey Anus, here's some shit.💩

Annie Hall, Hannah and Her Sisters, Deconstructing Harry, Husbands and Wives and Matchpoint.

[quote] You can spot a Woody Allen film - they have a certain look and tone that is trademark Woody.

I feel that way about Stanley Kubrick. Things like longer shots of people sitting down talking that include the floor and their feet. Lots of backlit scenes.

I hated Match Point and Midnight in Paris.
