    • Annie Hall (1977) Film. Comedy. Woody Allen famously wanted to call it Anhedonia, the clinical inability to experience happiness—funny for a film that gives us so much pleasure.
    • Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989) Film. Comedy. The film in which Woody’s comic and serious sides most comfortably align, this one tells of two barely connected characters, an eye doctor (Martin Landau) and a filmmaker (Allen), each with intricately messy private lives.
    • Hannah and Her Sisters (1986) Film. Here are Allen’s most exquisite performances: nuanced, perfectly balanced, lovably neurotic. There’s not a weak link in the cast, and while it’s a shame to single out an essential performance, it has to be Dianne Wiest’s unsettled Holly, the kind of desperate, flailing Manhattanite that future director-writers would spin entire careers out of.—
    • Manhattan (1979) Film. Comedy. Greatest opening in cinema history? Gordon Willis’s glittering monochrome camerawork combines with Gershwin’s glorious glissandos and Woody’s scalpel-sharp self-mockery to create the ultimate hymn to a city, a sensation, a whole way of life.
    • September (1987) Repressed love and hate threatens seemingly friendly relationships over a weekend of a family/friends group at a country house. The film that Allen remade from scratch, with another cast, had everything as chaos, but seen without unjust expectations can propose interesting reflections that magnify the result.
    • Everyone Says I Love You (1996) The musical attempt is enchanting, with a brief and tender moment when the character of Allen yields to the inspiring power of fantasy as he sings the beloved jazz standard “I’m Thru With Love”.
    • Celebrity (1998) An acidic critic who disrupts the falsehood of the high society lifestyle, the absurdity of projecting on the fragile fame industry the insecurity that the individual feels, with the script evoking the best works of Fellini.
    • Small Time Crooks (2000) Ray (Allen) is a dishwasher who has a great plan: rent a shop next to the bank and use it as a front to build an underground tunnel to rob it.
    • ANNIE HALL (1977) Written by Woody Allen and Marshall Brickman. Starring Woody Allen, Diane Keaton, Tony Roberts, Carol Kane, Paul Simon, Janet Margolin, Shelley Duvall, Christopher Walken, Colleen Dewhurst.
    • HANNAH AND HER SISTERS (1986) Written by Woody Allen. Starring Woody Allen, Michael Caine, Mia Farrow, Carrie Fisher, Barbara Hershey, Lloyd Nolan, Maureen O’Sullivan, Daniel Stern, Max von Sydow, Dianne Wiest.
    • MANHATTAN (1979) Written by Woody Allen and Marshall Brickman. Starring Woody Allen, Diane Keaton, Michael Murphy, Mariel Hemingway, Meryl Streep, Anne Byrne.
    • CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS (1989) Written by Woody Allen. Starring Caroline Aaron, Alan Alda, Woody Allen, Claire Bloom, Mia Farrow, Joanna Gleason, Anjelica Huston, Martin Landau, Jenny Nichols, Jerry Orbach, Sam Waterson.
    • Annie Hall (1977) If you've read through this entire list, odds are, you're not surprised to see "Annie Hall" in the top spot. Almost universally regarded as his best film, it became a phenomenon upon its 1977 release, famously competing with (and defeating) "Star Wars" for best picture.
    • Love and Death (1975) "Love and Death" is a period piece set during the Napoleonic Wars. Woody Allen plays Boris, a poor Russian villager who has the hots for his cousin, Sonja (Diane Keaton).
    • Broadway Danny Rose (1984) In "Broadway Danny Rose," Allen plays the titular talent agent whose unorthodox clients don't bring in much business. He's the type of agent willing to represent anyone, which comes at a cost.
    • Zelig (1983) "Zelig" is an unusual film in Allen's filmography, but another that blazed a unique path; its visual gimmickry seems to have been an inspiration for "Forrest Gump," among other films.
