how great is woody allen?


I finally saw this whole film yesterday, I had just seen the first half hour last week when TCM dedicated a whole night to him. If it weren't for the odd content of the story, and the site of both Woody and Mia in the film, I would have fully believed this was a real documentary. Allen is truely a master of cinema. I've seen about sixteen or so of his films, and I always want to see more. Thankfully the independant video rental place in my area has a whole section dedicated to him so I can always find his movies to rent. It's funny though, I never want to run out of his movies to see, so I've been pacing myself for about a year out of fear that I would run out of films to discover. my top 5 would have to be:

5. Broadway Danny Rose
4. Stardust Memories
3. Annie Hall
2. Manhattan
1. Crimes and Misdemeanors

All the others I've seen are very close seconds to these, but these for me are my very favorite.

What about anyone else? Post your favorites.
