I remember being a bit underwhelmed by this one. Zelig and Manhattan are currently my two favorites, but they're kinda one big smear (in a good way!).

Still the greatest, I suppose.

No, seriously, when does Ethan come back on this threaD?

zelig & manhattan are one big smear? that's weird!

I love that scene where woody and max are walking down the street and you can hear them coming but the shot is empty until they finally arrive and then they meet the shallow couple.

Beyond classic.

and I love star wars too.

I didn't get into Manhattan at all. I loved Manhatter Murder Mystery though. Also an early one where he was an inept bank robber.

(I don't remember the lobster scene . . .)

No, slocki, all of Allen's films are a big smear. Zelig less than most, I guess, which is why it's my favorite.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Saturday, 27 March 2004 05:29 (twenty years ago) link

zelig is so the best thing ever.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Saturday, 27 March 2004 05:30 (twenty years ago) link

i'm so ripping that movie off one day.

three years pass...

It came out 30 years ago this week. Dad took my sister and me to a Saturday matinee the first weekend at the now defunct Little Carnegie on 57th Street.

It was a bad joke.

I especially like how he dates Shelley Duvall.

"I'm sorry I took so long."
"That's alright... I think I'm starting to get some feeling back in my jaw."

the screenplay

"What I wouldn't give for a large sock o' horse manure."

― Dr Morbius, Monday, 23 April 2007 14:54 (seventeen years ago) link

This movie is classic classic classic btw. (But yeah, I do like Manhattan better.)

― kenan, Monday, 23 April 2007 14:55 (seventeen years ago) link

well, Manhattan has more asshole characters (ie, all of em except the retrospectively disturbing Mariel Hemingway)

Beat Star Wars for Best Picture at the Oscars

Is there any place on the net that lists what was nominated for every year? (I can only find the winners)

Okay, my suspicions have been confirmed.. the academy has shit taste in movies.

Pretty fucking unbelievable that Full Metal Jacket wasn't recognized.. sorry, don't mean to steer away from the thread's focus, but I find that amazing.

Walken steals every scene ever.

― billstevejim, Monday, 23 April 2007 16:41 (seventeen years ago) link

well, that was probably his first notable freak part.

― Dr Morbius, Monday, 23 April 2007 16:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Goddamn if I don't, at every single oppurtunity that I get, say "we can walk to the curb from here" upon someone's bad parking job.

"It's just like Beckett - the technique is interesting but it just doesn't hit me on a gut level"

("I'd like to hit this guy on a gut level.")

this is one of my favorite moments. in any movie, really. I also like when he's spazzing out about not changing his clothes in the locker room, and he's all, "I can't take off my clothes in front of another man of my gender." this is also my source movie for trying to explain all manner of things--the "yeah, I'm a bigot, but for the left" comes up all the time, for example. okay I have reading to do, I should stop.

― horseshoe, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 01:28 (seventeen years ago) link

C'mon. Classic. The scene with Marshall MacLuhan alone guarantees its classic status.

― Bill in Chicago, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 02:14 (seventeen years ago) link

100% Classic.

Dan is OTM all over this thread re: the flick's relevance to real life & relationships. I finally bought it last winter and have seen it twice since then.

Did anyone else here enjoy Stardust Memories besides me? Saw it again on cable over the weekend for the first time in years and totally enjoyed it. I seem to remember that the critics biggest beef w/it was Woody's narcisism, but whatever - it's always been a favorite of mine.

― darin, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 07:39 (seventeen years ago) link

stardust memories is great. i watched hannah and her sisters tonight for the first time (on for free on ONDEMAND btw for those of you with cable) and it was really good too. i never thought i would say that dianne weist totally kills it as a coke head chick. annie hall is pretty much perfect. i even love the cartoon part.

― chaki, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 07:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Annie Hall: Classic. Ditto for the Marshall MacLuhan scene.

Favorite Woody Allen scene of all time- the crucified guys fighting over the parking space in "Bananas".
