I was looking at a movie quotes website and I came across the page for Annie Hall. I’d forgotten how funny it is! Several of the quotes made me laugh out loud :D

“I don’t use any major hallucinogenics…Five years ago at a party, I tried to take my pants off over my head.”

“I hope to become the balding virile type, you know, as opposed to, say, the distinguished gray, unless I’m neither of those two. Unless I’m one of those guys with saliva dribbling out of his mouth who wanders into a cafeteria with a shopping bag screaming about socialism.”

“Honey, there’s a spider in your bathroom the size of a Buick.”

“They give awards for that kind of music? I thought just earplugs…They do nothing but give out awards. I can’t believe it. Greatest Fascist Dictator – Adolf Hitler!”

“Everything our parents said was good is bad. Sun, milk, red meat, college.”

“Yeah, why not? Because we’re just going to go home later, right, and there’s gonna be all that tension, you know, we never kissed before. And I’ll never know when to make the right move or anything. So we’ll kiss now and get it over with, and then we’ll go eat. OK? We’ll digest our food better.”

This is my favorite movie of all time. Not to be overly judgmental but to the 11% that said that Annie Hall is not worth consuming – What is wrong with you??!

Last night I was waiting to hear from a friend I had a few hours to kill so I put it on. It ended and plans had been put back for a while longer so I started it again. There is probably no other movie I could watch like that. It is just so fantastic.

Probably has more to say about relationships than any romantic comedy made in the last 30 years.

Quirky but geniunely funny and intelligent. I especially appreciate the references to Becker’s The Denial of Death, Beowulf, and Joyce. Makes me feel good to have had something of a liberal arts education.

I watched this again a couple weeks ago—Hadn’t seen it in a very long time. Dawned on me about 5 minutes into it that my last boyfriend was exactly like that. Fuck me, I was dating ‘woody allen’.

For me, this movie is like comfort food. A pure pleasure and delight. And fabulously wasp-y clothes.

Every time my days are full of dread and moody I can choose a Woody Allen film and I know that I will get the laughs I need. It’s always the same scene that makes me laugh.
Nothing beats Woody Allen to kick out the blues and dread, or at least make them livable.
