Critics Poll: 127th
Directors Poll: 132nd
First Time/Rewatch: Rewatch
Goddamn this is a great movie. It's probably Woody Allen's best, and that's saying something when it involves such a prolific director. This film is a must-see, it made Diane Keaton a fashion icon (and an unconventional role model to quirky girls everywhere), and its use of subtitles, flashbacks, animation, and fantasy sequences make it one-of-a-kind. It's a love letter to Diane Keaton, who's practically playing herself in all her suit-wearing, tennis-playing, photo-taking, lounge-singing, neurotic and beautiful glory. The supporting cast is a lot of fun too, with appearances by Tony Roberts, Christopher Walken, Carol Kane, Shelley Duvall, Paul Simon, and even Jeff Goldblum. I've seen this movie countless times and I still crack up at the same jokes, or sometimes different ones. Here, I'll let Annie Hall herself show why this film works so well:
