Woody Allen, the 70's -A Video Montage

Post by Shirleypal » 05-13-2008 10:16 AM

I am thankful for laughter, except when milk comes out of my nose.

Don't miss this brilliant montage of Woody Allen's golden years -the films of the '70s. They're all here: Bananas, Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask), Sleeper, and Love and Death, capped by Annie Hall , which marked a major turn to more sophisticated humor and thoughtful drama. Annie Hall won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture – unusual for a comedy, which set the standard for modern romantic comedy (and started a woman's fashion trend with the offbeat, masculine clothing, such as ties with cardigans).

Allen's 70's classics reflect the influence of Bob Hope, Groucho Marx (as well as, to some extent, Harpo Marx) and Humphrey Bogart.

Ahhhhhhh........ :D

Thanks for sharing this Shirley. Woody Allen is by far my all-time favorite director. I rarely miss any of his movies, and am lucky that they always play here in the city when they come out.

To this day, I cannot think of another film that truly hits the intricacies of relationships on the head better than "Annie Hall".

And damn, "Manhattan" is one of the most beautifully filmed movies I have ever seen. The city has never, ever looked as good as it did in that movie.
