I love Woody Allen! My favorite film of his is "Shadows and Fog" I love the setting, the music... And plus it is hilarious.

I love Woody Allen! My favorite film of his is "Shadows and Fog" I love the setting, the music... And plus it is hilarious.

And even Madonna is decent! That will be on my next list. Meanwhile, here's 'My favorite Woody Allen movies part 2':
Annie Hall (if you haven't seen this, you ain't seen nuffin')
Interiors (Woody pays tribute to Ingmar Bergman)
Manhattan (NYC I luv U)
Stardust Memories (not a comedy, this is probably his most ambitious and complex film)
A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy (Will Shakespeare meets Siggy Freud)
Zelig (pure genius)
Broadway Danny Rose (ever had the mafia on your heels?)
The Purple Rose Of Cairo (when your dreams come to life)
Hannah And Her Sisters (Thanksgiving Day family reunions, plus Michael Caine )
Radio Days (Beware evil-doers, wherever you are!)

Oedipus Wrecks

Alice
Shadows And Fog
Manhattan Murder Mystery
Bullets Over Broadway
Mighty Aphrodite
Everyone Says I Love You

If you know Woody's filmography, you might have noticed I left out Husbands And Wives. I never saw it again since it came out, but I considered it quite useless at the time.
I stop at Everyone Says I Love You, which I reckon is his last good (very good) film. From Deconstructing Harry onwards his films have been really poor. Just one or two good things here and there, which is not good enough.
Anyhow, I'll always be thankful to him and love the guy: not everybody is capable of almost 30 years of great film-making.
