Annie Hall (DVD, Checkpoint; Sensormatic; Widescreen)

Still one of my top 10 favorite films. I still love when Woody would get out of charater in the middle of a scene and start talking to either us the audience or possibly a famous director to prove his point.

I wanted to share a Woody Allen movie with my granddaughter. When I lived in NY we would line up around the block to see his movies. We new what to expect.
The ironic, the truth and the unpredicable and most of all funny. This is one of his very best. Diane Keaton's hat became a must. See one of his movies your hooked.

Great movie! I had to buy it to re-live and enjoy the the late 60's and early 70's. Those were the best years of my life!

Both Diane Keaton and Woody Allen were terrific with exceptional performances. It makes you think about relationships and how to deal with your own needs. Woody Allen is such a neurotic in this movie but very funny.

Don't miss the appearance of Paul Simon and quite a few other celebrities!

Overall, this is a great movie and well worth buying cause you'll want to see it again and again but not every day. You'll want to keep it for viewing every so often.

It's a classic and will always be one. I think the hat Diane wears is the same hat she wears in "Plan B" which is also terrific!

It was a very odd movie. It had some real laughs and being an adult in a relationship I did find humor in it. Since I was born in 73, I can appreciate the movie. It was boring in some parts. I could only give it 4 stars.

I think when Woody Allen made this movie, he change the way all relationship movies are made and written. It still stand up to this day against the majority of the other comedy/relationship movies. As much as I like When Harry Met Sally, it's a good take off of the Annie Hall style. If you like this movie by Allen, you'll enjoy the others that he made after this one...

Although I'm a big fan of his work, I have some issues with the packaging. First, the spines on the DVDs didn't match the stock photo. Second, each DVD claimed to have a "Collectible Booklet," although the majority of them were missing. In fact, of the eight, only two had booklets. I returned these for another set, and it was the same problem: The spines didn't match, and this time only five had the "Collectible Booklet." The subsequent Volumes 2 and 3 didn't have this problem. I don't know if the folks at MGM are just careless with their packaging. I see that the first volume is now out of print, and the price has risen accordingly.

the fact that woody allen speaks directly to the camera and spews out his thoughts. diane keaton is very good in this movie.

I wanted to send my daughter who is in Germany, some funny dvd's for Christmas to cheer her up because she couldnt come home for Christmas. The CD arrived in just 2 days after I purchased it with Paypal. It was in exellent condition-like new. I was able to send it to my daughter right away so that she would get it in time for Christmas. She emailed me and thanked me because this was one of her favorite movies of all time. I was happy that I thought to check Ebay's listings for dvd's. It was a fun and stress free way to Christmas shop.

Woody Allen is a great director and a wonderful actor, but his true gift lies in writing, particularly screenwriting. He is witty, straight-forward, honest, and hysterical. In "Annie Hall," he has paired with a very young Diane Keaton to deliver a gem of a motion picture. Both actors' performances are remarkably good, and Allen's directing is superb. His characteristic "side comments" delivered straight into the camera really give the viewer insight into his character's mind, consequently making him more accessible and loveable.
This movie is incredibly funny in a very intellectual way, with most of its witty jokes becoming memorable and more understandable with the passing of time.
"Annie Hall" is a delightful movie about love, sex, relationships, and marriage, among other things, colored by Woody Allen's wit and extraordinary eloquence.
A terrific film!

Annie Hall is a great movie. It is at once both a great example of Woody Allen at his funniest and a touching story of what it's really like to be Woody. I would recommend this movie to absolutely anyone. Roger Ebert wrote a Great Movie review of it, and that is rather high praise which is completely deserved.
