My List of the Six Best Woody Allen Movies
Here's the list Woody recently gave New York Magazine of his six best movies, presumably not in order:
- Purple Rose of Cairo
- Match Point
- Bullets Over Broadway
- Zelig
- Husbands and Wives, and
- Vicky Cristina Barcelona
And I have to agree with Ebert -- Woody's wrong. So wrong. (Although to be fair, I haven't seen Vicky Cristina , which I've heard is excellent. I'm pretty sure I've seen the rest of his filmography, though, minus a couple of new and very old ones.)
Here's what I'd submit, probably in order, if I were forced to choose only six:
- Annie Hall
- Husbands and Wives
- Crimes and Misdemeanors
- Manhattan
- Hannah and Her Sisters
- Stardust Memories
Honorable mentions, though, would have to go to Zelig (genius), Manhattan Murder Mystery (hilarious, very smart, perfectly paced, great performances), and Everyone Says I Love You (just awesome -- except for Edward Norton, who's really, really awful in it; but otherwise awesome).
