This was a tough one because he's made so many, but a few axioms helped. The funny ones are better. Diane Keaton was his best leading lady. Manhattan rather than Annie Hall because it summons a whole world. Play It Again Sam I regard it as the ultimate one-stop-shop Woody Allen movie — the kind of film everyone started to make in the eighties and nineties. I have a special fondness for what I call light bulb movies, the ones rolling along on a single bright idea: Zelig, Purple Rose, Bullets. My wife's going to kill me over Hannah and Her Sisters not being higher, but what can I say. I find it a bit chewy.
