- The Last Picture Show. Bogdanovich is a personal filmmaker, and his work sparks personal reactions. With the exception of perhaps "Illegally Yours," a Bogdanovich fan could make a claim for nearly any film on this list as their favorite, often for sentimental reasons.
- Paper Moon (1973) One of the joys of Ryan O'Neal's performance in "What's Up, Doc?" is watching him get completely buffaloed by Barbra Streisand. In 1973's "Paper Moon," O'Neal gets buffaloed twice over, by the great Madeline Kahn as exotic dancer Miss Trixie, and of course, by his daughter Tatum, who became the youngest Academy Award winner in history as little orphan Addie.
- What's Up, Doc? (1972) Bogdanovich's follow up to "The Last Picture Show" swerves (literally) into cartoon territory. True to its title, "What's Up, Doc?"

However, They All Laughed is a surprisingly good-natured effort and some of the same cadences can be found especially in Charles (John Ritter) and Christy (Coleen Camp) whose conversations mirror those of Howard and Eunice from the earlier picture. Names are swapped with every other sentence while their patter is frantic and harried in a similar ma...
Of course, I must save the best (subjectively speaking) for last – it’s time to talk about Audrey Hepburn, who gets top billing, and understandably so. Though I barely recognized her at first, behind her shades, she still maintains the same congenial elegance, even in eighties attire. If anything, she’s more grounded. Somehow she almost doesn’t bel...
Due to a lack of commercial success (Bogdanovich tried his luck distributing the film himself unsuccessfully) They All Laughed is considered to be one of the ending markers of The New Hollywood Era (along with Heaven’s Gate). No one can completely blame him for his decision as he was stricken with immense grief at the time. Because of course, the a...
For others on the outside looking in, The Last Picture Show, Paper Moon, or even What’s Up, Doc might gleam with superior film stock. However, it’s not too difficult to understand Bogdanovich‘s own sentiments. This is about as personal as a movie can come even as it’s weaved into a hybrid private eye, screwball tale. It’s not the content speaking, ...
