Loved 'Manhattan'.

The other Woody Allen Films I love are:
'Bullets Over Broadway'
'Crimes and Misdemeanors'
'Annie Hall'
'Husbands and Wives'
'Hannah and Her Sisters'

The one WA film I truly haaaate:
'Shadows and Fog'

After not having the heart to watch his stuff for so many post-scandal years, I recently rented everything I missed.

The only bright light in the bunch, far as I was concerned, was Deconstructing Harry, which I highly recommend.


Match Point, which was the first Woody film I saw in theaters in decades, was also excellent - imo. But I have no desire to his new one, strongly rumored to be a stinker.



mousepod, thanks for that disturbing link to the Star Wars original crawl discussion. I'll finish reading it later today, but I think my decision to buy the new DVDs is finished.

What is it about 1977 scifi/fantasy films? Star Wars and Close Encounters have been altered from the versions that became megafamous ... and the versions that claim to be restorations are stinking bloody LIES.



Read my forehead - BAH

I'm not a Woody fan. However, I have a feeling I will be renting "Scoop" when it comes out on DVD for the Hugh Jackman eye candy. I hear there is a scene with him getting out of a pool... :)

I guess I just blocked the whole ordeal out of my mind during that period of time. I went to see his films and didn't think about it. Same with Polanski.

I need tore-see all of the Allen films again. It's been much too long. I think we only own one (Hannah and her Sisters - one of my VERY favorites), and that itself is a crime.

Interiors has always been one of my favorites. I think I could relate to the psycho family drama thing at the time. I wonder if I'd like it still?

MousePod is going through all of the Hitchcocks in order. I should do the same with Allen. That sounds like a fun "project".

My friends and I did that with Fellini. It was very, very hard to do.

Fellini is another good one. Maybe I'd stay awake through 8 1/2.

8 1/2's the easy one to stay up for. 'Nights of Cabiria' and 'Juliet of the Spirits' are hard. And I never, ever fall asleep during movies.

Okay, so they remade The Pink Panther with Steve Martin and it basically tanked, right? Why remake it anyway, I ask?

So now they're doing a sequel? WTF? :confused:

Both worthy projects! Many great WA flicks, some no so. Manhattan, Crimes and Misdemenors and I do love his nostalgic comedies, Radio Days is a fav.

I love all Hitchcock films, and even Family Plot holds a special place in my heart. But going through them in chronoligical order, great idea!

Don't think I could that with Altman films, though.
