A few of his early movies "Take the Money and run" "Sleeper" and ""Bananas" were too damned similar. However, he did learn to evolve.  I don't like all his movies. but you should check out "Crimes and Misdemeanors"  He totally goes off the beaten path with this film.

BTW;  you should read this story, his actual adopted son defends Woody and slams Mia.

I liked TtMaR too, it was an excellent satire of the  crime documentary movies.

Well, a lot of people can't stand him. For example, his Oscar winner Annie Hall, and at that time, considered one of his most popular films, had one of the lowest box office grosses up to time.

As for myself, I can stand him only in very small doses. So my 3 favorites of his films are . . .

What's Up, Tiger Lily
where he takes the Bond clone International Secret Police : Key of Keys and turns into a comedy about the search for the world's best egg salad recipe.

Casino Royale
in which he has a small role in a very big cast.

and the anthology film New York Stories
in which he did 1 of the 3 segments. The other 2 being done by Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola. His segment, at the time, being regarded somewhere in the middle. That is better than Coppola's, but worst than Scorsese's.

For decades the academy simply ignored SF films for non technical awards. They were  simply it ores and not  even considered for "serious" oscars.

And BTW,  speaking if a real p**ser,  planet of the apes won a special Oscar for makeup effects the same year 2001 was released. A. C.  Clarke wondered,  publicly and loudly,  if 2001 was not awarded for it's ape makeup because the people running the academy thought the hominids were  real apes and not actors.

I like more John Agar movies than I do Woody Allen movies.
That's just me.
I would rather watch the BRAIN FROM PLANET AROUS than ANNIE HALL.

Despite liking a couple highbrow woody Allen films I  agree with you.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
