Crimes And Misdemeanors
Often regarded as Woody Allen's most mature film weaving together two seemingly unconnected storylines. Superb casting.

Manhattan Murder Mystery
The plot isn't great, a murder mystery that's rather pedestrian but what makes this movie is the enjoyment in the journey. The Woody Allen and Diana Keaton chemistry works once
again with terrific supports in Alan Alda and Anjelica Huston.

Woody Allen and Diane Keaton join forces again in this charming riff on such murder mystery classics as REAR WINDOW, DOUBLE INDEMNITY, and THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI.

Annie Hall
Winner of multiple Oscar's with Allen pretty much playing himself opposite Diane Keaton's kooky Annie Hall. Witty, sharp and perceptive, this is Woody Allen on top form.

Annie Hall
on DVD
(1977)
Starring: Woody Allen, Diane Keaton, Tony Roberts
Director: Woody Allen
Certificate:
Woody Allen cowrote, directed, and stars in this award-winning film as a kvetchy Brooklyn comedian wistfully recalling his bygone relationship with flighty, adorable, and irrepressibly midwestern (read: not Jewish) Annie Hall. The film marked a transition from Allen's earlier absurdist comedies to ..read more »

Hannah And Her Sisters
A tale of the relationships between three New York sisters. The usual sharp and witty dialogue with Woody Allen in even more neurotic form than usual and an Oscar winning performance from Michael Caine.

-
Hannah And Her Sisters

Director: Woody Allen
Certificate:
Woody Allen combined the best parts of his earlier films in creating HANNAH AND HER SISTERS, his 1986 masterwork about the changing relationships among three sisters living in New York City.

Play It Again Sam
The odd one out as it's not directed by Woody Allen and is set in San Francisco. A early gem, with plenty of sharp one liners, albeit some rather offensive. Allen plays a film buff who's harrassed by a vision of Humphrey Bogart.

Play It Again Sam
on DVD
(1972)
Starring: Woody Allen, Diane Keaton, Susan Anspach
Director: Herbert Ross
Certificate:
Watch now: £2.49
Woody Allen's play is successfully brought to the screen by Woody himself in the starring role. He portrays Allan Felix, an insecure film buff haunted by a Humphrey Bogart alter ego who holds his lack of masculinity in contempt and urges him to act decisively--even with the wife of his best friend (..read more »

Husbands And Wives
The jerky camcorder shots reflect the instability of the relationships depicted among neurotic and messed-up New Yorkers. Poignant as the on-screen breakdown between Allen and Mia Farrow would quickly transfer to real life.

Director: Woody Allen
Certificate:
Gabe and Judy Roth (Woody Allen and Mia Farrow), a long-married couple, find their relationship starting to crumble when their best friends, Jack and Sally (Sydney Pollack and Judy Davis), announce that they are separating.

Love And Death
A enjoyable comedy with Woody Allen playing a cowardly Russian serf who despite his best efforts is pitched into battle with Napoleon's invading army. Utterly implausible and very funny.
-

Love And Death
on DVD
(1975)
Starring: Woody Allen, Diane Keaton, Harold Gould
Director: Woody Allen
Certificate:
Woody Allen reinvents himself again with the epic historical satire, Love and Death. A wonderfully funny and eclectic distillation of the Russian literary soul, the film represents a bridge between Allen's early slapstick farces and his darker autobiographical comedies. One of his most visual, ..read more »
