I just remembered that 25 days into the month, this guy hadn't been posted yet:

I keep going back and forth on whether I should give the 10 to Manhattan or Hannah and Her Sisters; for some reason I feel only one Woody Allen movie should ever grace my eventual top 100.
Edit: screw it, I'll go with Annie Hall.
Need to rewatch: Everything you Always Wanted to blah blah blah, Sleeper, Love and Death, Stardust Memories, A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy

Gotta say, I don't think there's a filmmaker I've cooled off from in recent years more than Allen. I tried rewatching Annie Hall again the other day and just wasn't feeling it (I've given it a pretty good rating tho, I'll assume it was my mood at the time).

Oh yeah, Deconstructing Harry is one of those films that I absolutely adore and many others find less than mediocre. At least I have Sycophant on my side whenever he shows up for this.

Robin Williams being out of focus is one of the best scenes ever.

I find him a hard director to rate, because as accomplished as some of his films are stylistically, ultimately, story is the thing. So as much as I liked Annie Hall and Broadway Danny Rose on first viewing, they haven't held up well. On the other hand, Stardust Memories just gets better and better. So does that mean I like that film better than Annie Hall? Rather than figure out the answer, I'll just rate his work from the last ten years:
Small Time Crooks (2000) [6]
The Curse of the Jade Scorpion (2001) [6]
Anything Else (2003) [6]
Melinda and Melinda (2004) [4]

He used to be one of my faves, but I'd only really ever be interested in re-watching three or four of his films at this point in my life. His philosophy of life doesn't match up with mine anymore, which leads to some disconnect in the later features, whereas it's somehow more tolerable in his 70s work.

You should see The Purple Rose of Cairo.
I could see you really enjoying it.
His philosophy of life doesn't match up with mine anymore, which leads to some disconnect in the later features, whereas it's somehow more tolerable in his 70s work.
Ya, with some of his films from the 80s-early 90s, I almost have to try and enjoy them in spite of myself. For such a great filmmaker, it seems he has a really disappointing worldview. On the other hand, when I've seen him interviewed, he comes off totally detached from that perception I have of him, so who knows
