WOODY ALLEN MOVIES ...

Dear readers, this week, ‘A’ IS FOR ALLEN – WOODY *A*LLEN & HIS MOVIES!
Which is your favourite Woody Allen movie and why?
Is it perhaps Play it Again, Sam (1972, above):

A hilarious romcom, directed by Herbert Ross but written by Allen. In the following exchange, he is trying to proposition an attractive girl in an art gallery (Diana Davila, who had played Anne Frank in a US TV movie). Allen: “That’s quite a lovely Jackson Pollock, isn’t it?” Davila: “Yes, it is.” Allen: “What does it say to you?” Davila: “It restates the negativeness of the universe. The hideous lonely emptiness of existence. Nothingness. The predicament of man forced to live in a barren, godless eternity…” (She goes on like this.) Allen: “What are you doing Saturday night?” Davila: “Committing suicide.” Allen: “What about Friday night?”
Or do you prefer:
Hannah and Her Sisters (1986):

Annie Hall (1977):

Manhattan (1979):

Crimes & Misdemeanors(1989):

Deconstructing Harry (1997):

Sleeper (1973):

Or perhaps: Stardust Memories (1980):
