    Manhattan, of course. Also known as the movie that most people want me to condemn or else there is something wrong with me.

    I absolutely adore Everyone Says I Love You - easily my favourite. The dance scene in Paris with Woody and Goldie Hawn toward the end of the film is one of the most beautiful scenes ever captured on celluloid.

    Of the rest, in no particular order:

    Crimes and Misdemeanors
    Hannah and Her Sisters
    Broadway Danny Rose
    Manhattan
    Annie Hall
    Melinda and Melinda
    Match Point
    (an excellent loose adaptation of Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment).

    I can well understand the antipathy to Manhattan given wider events but, judged purely on its merits, it is brilliant.

    On the whole I have enjoyed all of Allen's work. Even Whatever Works, which I was not thrilled by when it was released, I watched again recently and it was rather better at second viewing.

    He hasn’t made many bad films that’s for sure.

    Yeah and the ones I don't like are often not because I find them bad. For instance Blue Jasmine. Many regard that one highly. Cate Blanchett was terrific. Just too depressing for me. :laugh:

    Lost its impact on second viewing.
    Never found any of his films depressing.

    Have not seen too many of his more recent films but I would agree with: Annie Hall, Zelig, Broadway Danny Rose, Hannah and Her Sisters

    It's far from his best, but I still think that Shadows and Fog is very overlooked and underrated.

    Nice to see Interiors. Very underrated in his catalogue. It's a masterpiece IMO

    IMO his recent films are nowhere near as good. His best recent film was Match Point.
