Top 5 Favorite Woody Allen Films!
Ok here are mine;
Hannah and Her Sisters
Sweet and Lowdown
Broadway Danny Rose
Midnight in Paris
Annie Hall
There are tons more but these are a few that I could watch and never get sick of.
Manhattan
The Purple Rose of Cairo
Manhattan Murder Mystery (It's strange that this is a very slight film, but it's actually become practically my favorite of his!)
What I always find mesmerizing about Hannah and her Sisters is the scene were they have lunch together after shopping, and Lee breaks down. The acting here is so natural, as if the three actresses really were sisters. And the circling camera really helps build the tension. For some reason, Mr. Allen usually avoids complicated shots like this, but here it really works, and elevates the scene.
And that line "You know, I could always tell what you thought of me by the type of MEN you fixed me up with" just cuts to the BONE!
.
Yeah that is a wonderful scene! I saw 'Hannah' in the movies when I was like 21 and what really left an impression on me was how he was able to bring so many deeply human characters together in one film that we cared about.
