Radio days

Leah Carrey, Danielle Ferland

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

Cinematic radio
"Radio Days" is, I think, one of Allen's best films. It tones down on the the sometimes annoying slapstick of his earliest films without completely eliminating it (for example, the scene with the rabbi in which the young Woody gets slapped by all and sundry). It ...

Manhattan

Woody Allen, Diane Keaton

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

ONE OF WOODY'S BEST, BUT THE DVD HAS SOME PROBLEMS!
I have always thought 'Manhattan' was one of Woody Allen's best films. Filmed in glorious black and white with many of Woody's staple players and a great performance by young Mariel Hemingway. The DVD has a good transfer, but I noticed that there is a slight pause ...

The Woody Allen Collection, Set 1 (Annie Hall/Manhattan/Sleeper/Bananas/Interiors/Stardust Memories/Love and ...

Woody Allen, Diane Keaton

Tcfhe/MGM, 2000

The Woody Allen Collection - 8 pack
Great collection of early Woody Allen titles. Nicely presented in slip cover box. Great value for money. Can't wait to get started on them!

Annie Hall

Woody Allen, Diane Keaton

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

One of Woody's best
Annie Hall is one of those films that I could watch over and over again. I first caught it a few years ago. I know, I know, it was made in the late 70s. Anyway, I've seen some of Woody Allen's other movies and, though I like some of them, "Annie Hall" is my ...

Bullets Over Broadway

John Cusack, Dianne Wiest

Miramax, 1999

A brilliant tapestry of humor on multiple levels!
This is one of the finest of Woody Allen's films melding past and present expressions of humor and visual scenes with so many outstanding actors performing at their peak. This is a clever, clever film with passion for all sorts of comedy- wit, satire, parody, ...

The Woody Allen Collection, Sets 1-3

Woody Allen

MGM, 2008

Wonderful collection;Highly recommend for the Woody Allen Lover!
I love Woody Allen and this is the Ultimate collection for me to own. It is wonderful to have all the DVDS in one so that I do not have to buy them separately. I have not seen some of them in years and I look forward to watching all of them.

Manhattan Murder Mystery

William Addy, Jerry Adler

Sony Pictures, 1998

Clever and Quite Funny
After paying tribute to the masters (Bergman), Woody Allen went back to more familiar territory - with a delightful twist. Think of it as Annie Hall Gets To Play Nancy Drew. Whatever, Manhattan Murder Mystery is a short, fast, and very funny, movie. It has an ...

Hannah and Her Sisters

Lewis Black, Michael Caine

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

A film that has everything it needs; a complete package to put it bluntly...
I have not seen a lot of Woody Allen movies; he's one of those directors that I really need to research and dive into. I've seen `Match Point' and loved it, and I've see `The Sweet and Lowdown' and thought it was decent, but his classics like `Annie Hall' and `Hannah ...

Crimes and Misdemeanors

Caroline Aaron, Alan Alda

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

Heads you win, tails I lose
Allen has said on more than one occasion that he doesn't have the stuff to be a director/writer of the caliber of Bergman or Fellini. But in "Crimes and Misdemeanors" he comes up to the task. The film isn't just one of Allen's best (I'm comfortable with saying it's ...

Love and Death

Woody Allen, Diane Keaton

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

Woody Allen: The Golden Years
"Love and Death" truly belongs in the Pantheon of comedy classics. A send-up of every Russian novel that you should have read, but probably didn't, the film, as the name implies, in particular spoofs Tolstoy's "War and Peace." Boris Gruschenko (Allen in Kulak blouse ...

Stardust Memories

Marie-Christine Barrault, J.E. Beaucaire

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

stunning
Stardust Memories is a brilliant tribute to Fellini and Bergman that still manages to give us some of that classic Woody Allen humor every so often to lighten things up just a bit. The plot moves along at a good pace and I enjoyed the flashbacks that are interjected so ...

The Woody Allen Collection, Set 2 (Shadows and Fog / September / Crimes and Misdemeanors / Another Woman / ...

Martin Landau, Woody Allen

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

Great selection of movies!
This box is a good collection of some of the most beautifull films of W. Allen. This features some of the best directions of melodramatic films of W. Allen. If you are a fan of Woody A. buy it now. If you are one of those very few who never saw a film of Woody Allen, ...

The Woody Allen Collection, Set 3 (Hannah and Her Sisters / The Purple Rose of Cairo / Broadway Danny Rose / ...

Mia Farrow, Dianne Wiest

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

Very good, fairly homogeneous selection of titles.
This Woody Allen collection of six (6) early to middle films is more homogeneous than the first. You do not have the very serious `Interiors' sitting between two of Allen's funniest movies. But, there are some bumps along the road if you start watching this from the ...

The Purple Rose of Cairo

Mia Farrow, Jeff Daniels

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

One of the sweetest smells in Woody's rosebush...
If there is one Woody Allen film that I think anyone can enjoy, it is `The Purple Rose of Cairo' (although `Hannah and Her Sisters' is quite universal too). There is something about the way that Mia Farrow's character Cecilia connects so well with the average human ...

Broadway Danny Rose

Woody Allen, Mia Farrow

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

Very Funny
There are so many laughs in this film.Must be one of Woody Allen's best. I could watch it again and again and it never loses it's humor. Mia Farrow and Woody Allen are just perfect in their roles. Brilliant and highly recommended.
