Choice: Film: Annie Hall

Woody Allen has made so many films that his best is a matter of heated debate. Personally, I'm torn between Manhattan, Hannah and Her Sisters and Another Woman, but critical consensus would probably land on this 1977 comedy which saw Woody and Diane Keaton fall in and out of love and won fistfuls of Oscars into the bargain, including his only one for Best Film. The great Gordon Willis contributed wonderful cinematography and there's a delicious scene with the two would-be lovers having a nervous, platitudinous conversation hilariously undercut by subtitles explaining what they are really thinking. The flashback scenes to Allen's nerdy, yiddisher childhood are a scream, and the film also offers the rare opportunity to see Christopher Walken not playing some kind of psychopath.
