Annie Hall (1977)
Unlike The Pope of Greenwich Village, this is a classic that has really held up. I am growing to appreciate Woody Allen more as time goes on. On the surface, this is a very simple love story. But it reveals so many universal truths that it stays relevant. The comedy here is very [...]
