Greatest romantic comedy of all times!

Rating: 10/10 (19 August 2006)

This is definitely the cutest and the most romantic(?) movie by Woody Allen. The movie is a beautiful comedy. Some radically new ideas (for a movie made in 1977): Woody suddenly speaking his mind into the camera, subtitled thoughts... Such a treat! Depiction of Californians - struggling to stay normal amidst mantras, meetings, and best of all, death rays; couples struggling to find an easy/convenient solutions to love, marriage and everything; foolish, phony, absurd conversations that happens between strangers-want-to-be-friends; making of sitcoms; Woody's driving skills, and defiance to authority... an endless list of screamingly hilarious scenes. Somewhere along the movie, amidst the sketches of phonies, you start smelling some amount of Catcher in the Rye. Woody, almost at the end of the movie, makes a reference to it, probably indicating it to be some sort of a source. Fresh as a daisy even today, Annie Hall is definitely one of the best movies ever made in Hollywood.
