What's your Woody Allen's fav flicks? (crime, mystery, western, actor)

[FlashM]

Here are my picks:

1. Annie Hall, 1977.

Here is a couple of jokes from the movie:

#1

ANNIE
God, it's so clean out here (about LA).

ALVY
It's that they don't throw their garbage away. They make it into television shows.

#2

ANNIE
You followed me. I can't believe it!

ALVY
I didn't follow you!

ANNIE
You followed me!

ALVY
Why? 'Cause I was walkin' along a block behind you staring at you?
That's not following!

ANNIE
Well, what is your definition of following?

ALVY
Following is different. I was spying.



2. Love And Death, 1975.

#1

Sergeant
One, two! One, two! One, two!

Private Boris
Three is next, if you're having any trouble.

#2

Some guy
I'll see that you never see daylight again.

Boris
If a man said that to me, I'd break his neck!

Some guy
I am a man.

Boris
Well, I mean a much shorter man.



3. Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex But Were Afraid To Ask, 1972

There's no gags and repartees I can quote here though it's an awesome absurd spoof to the book of the same name. For example these episodes from the flick are extremely funny:
What is Sodomy?
Are Transvestites Homosexuals?
What Happens During Ejaculation?

4. Manhattan Murder Mystery, 1993

Mr. Lipton (bluffing)
Hallo, Mr. House? This is Larry Lipton. I got a package I think you're gonna want. Of course it's gonna cost you, uh, $200,000 in small, unmarked bills. Or large marked ones, if you want to go that route.

Mr. House (not bluffing)
And I have a package you might want, Mr. Lipton. If you ever wanna see your wife alive again, you'll do as I say.

Mr. Lipton
Oh, really? Well, I think you're bluffing. Yeah, don't... don't ever try and bluff a bluffer.

OMG, I love his movies. Another one from Love and Death that cracks me up:

Countess
You are the greatest lover that I have ever known.

Boris
Well, I practice at home by myself a lot.

Another couple of jokes about the same subject Lol

From 'Love And Death'.

Countess
How long has it been since you've made love to a woman?

Boris
What's today? Monday, Tuesday...

Boris
Two years.


From 'Annie Hall'.

ALVY
That jerk that teaches that incredible crap course "Contemporary Crisis in Western Man"!

ANNIE
"Existential Motifs in Russian Literature"! You're really close.

ALVY
What's the difference? It's all mental masturbation.

ANNIE
Oh, well, now we're finally getting to a subject you know something about!

Broadway Danny Rose is one of my all time favorites. Very funny movie.

Also liked Annie Hall, Take the Money and Run, Small Time Crooks, Mighty Aphrodite, and Play it Again Sam.

Mighty Aphrodite had a ton of memorable quotes, most of which are not PG so I can't post them here. It's one laugh after another.

I love Hannah and Her Sisters which captures so well Allen's quintessential New York characters

YouTube - Hannah and Her Sisters trailer

The Purple Rose of Cairo I generally like 1930's - 40's stories. And this one is so cool with the movie characters interacting with those in the "real world"

I actually loved Vicky Cristina Barcelona. A love letter to that great city. Penelope Cruz was great in it!

From Bananas:

Jefe

You will be our Presidente.

Fielding Mellish

Me? President? Oh, no no no no...what about Vice-President? Now that's a real idiot's job.

When all is said and done, it's gotta be Sleeper.
"Charles de Gaulle, he was a very famous French Chef... had his own tv show..."
"Billy Graham, he knows God personally..."
The house at the very end actually exists and is a home in Genesee, Colorado.
I once was there years ago.
