#35 Annie Hall

Title: Annie Hall

A.F.I. Ranking: 35

Director: Woody Allen

Starring: Woody Allen, Diane Keaton

Release Year: 1977

Brief Synopsis: Alvy is a successful New York comedian who has gone through his share of relationships. One day his manager introduces him to a singer who is trying to get a foot in the door, Annie Hall. These two form a relationship and end up moving in together. This movie chronicles the ups and downs of their relationship while both try to make it in their prospective careers.

My Thoughts: I know this is a movie many hold near and dear, and many won’t believe that I haven’t seen it until now. I have a mix review of this film. I loved the beginning. Allen’s sarcastic sense of humor is right up my alley. I found both him and Keaton to be sweet, interesting characters. Five minutes into the film I was excited because I thought I had discovered a new movie that I would love and watch over and over again. However, about half way through the movie it started to lose its charm and humor for me. I don’t know why, but I started to get disinterested. I guess I give the first half of the movie an A+ and the second half a C+.

Raiting: List Worthy

  1. Annie Hall was quite a good movie, but I find that most of Woody Allen's movies are too similar. The Sound of Music is top of my list! Are you going to review it soon?
