anyone who shits on Woody hasn't seen any of his 80s films

one of the most unique cinematic eyes in American film in that time, and a hell of a writer

but I prefer his earlier, funnier ones

F for respects

Annie Hall was when he started trying to put psychology and philosophy into his films. Before that they were just pure comedies.

Is it fair to say that if I hated annie hall, I'm going to hate all his shit? There were some decent laughs in it but the rest is cringy autistic garbage

>>79247608
Love and Death already had very strong elements of philosophy. It's also his funniest imo

>>79247657
The whole point is that he was doing an introspection on how cringey and autistic he is irl. Also it's his best film so it should gauge how much you would enjoy his other films.

Love and Death is easily both his best and funniest.

Try his earlier films

>mfw star wars fanboys still go into autistic screeching when you remind them that annie hall won best picture in '78

>>79247657
No, because woody fans tend to have widely varying opinions on what his best and worst films are.

>>79248828
wow, I didn't even know that.
It makes sense though, star wars winning best picture would've been like if harry potter 1 won best picture.

It's also the last time a comedy film has won. Only six comedies have won Best Picture.

The Artist is a comedy

It's considered more of a Drama but it is inspired by the Silent Comedies and Astaire-Rogers Musical Comedies.
