Title: Woody Allen Post by: GeraldFord on November 18, 2006, 02:02:00 PM Any Woody Allen fans here? Love his movies. My favorites are Sleeper and Matchpoint. If you haven't seen them, go rent them!

Title: Re: Woody Allen Post by: Gordi on November 19, 2006, 05:26:39 AM I think he's a fantastic writer/director there's just so many films and styles to check out of his, and if you look a little deeper into his films there's a lot more going on than you would think. eg - psychoanalysis references, styles and genres, references to myths etc. Brilliant.
Title: Re: Woody Allen Post by: GeraldFord on November 19, 2006, 07:21:09 AM Can't stand him. :'( :crying: :crying: :crying:say it aint so Title: Re: Woody Allen Post by: 25 on November 19, 2006, 07:22:01 AM Ever get to that point where you've seen so many of his films in a short span of time that you can't seperate them from each other in your mind? Many of them may be variations on the same riff but when it's such a great riff why mess with it?
It's hard to name favorites when each of his films is brilliance in a different key, but a few of the highlights for me are; Manhattan Stardust Memories Zelig Crimes and Misdemeanors Annie Hall Hannah and Her Sisters Husbands and Wives Interiors Oedipus Wrecks (The only bright spot in that god-awful New York Stories anthology ~ side note; what the fuck was Coppola thinking?) Broadway Danny Rose Sweet & Lowdown . . . I'll stop there, before this turns into his resume. Honorable mention; Though it's not strictly-speaking "his" movie, I think he gave a great performance in Scenes From A Mall (I may be completely alone on that one though). |
