Annie Hall (1977)
Director: Woody Allen
Screenplay: Woody Allen, Marshall Brickman
Primary Cast: Woody Allen, Diane Keaton, Tony Roberts
The seamless (and at times experimental) mix of comic styles in Annie Hall is what keeps this Woody Allen classic at the top of the list of definitive contemporary comedies. Allen uses political and intellectual humor as well as slapstick, visual gags, monologues and more to create scene after scene of memorable moments.
Allen and Keaton are a perfect neurotic pairing, and with their incredibly quirky yet emotionally realistic characters, bring a human center to the film. Anyone who's ever been in a relationship can laugh and relate. Plus, the New York vs. Los Angeles debate is a funny, dead-on subtheme.
