I actually cannot stand Woody Allen - especially when he stars in his own stuff.  (I guess that comments belongs in the "Movies you hate but everyone else loves" thread)...  But I actually did like Zelig very much - in fact it's the only Woody Allen movie I liked.  I thought he sent a very good message in a very humorous way.

My wife and I love Woody Allen movies and still own a complete collection of all his movies on VHS.  

Also, I grew up watching THE SLEEPER and TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN every year on WPIX from New York in the 70's. I also read his autobiography.

Most people don't like Woody Allen, because of his New York sophisicate humor that is a completely different level. Possibly because of Allen's wimpy appearence like Paul Ruben as Pee Wee Herman on TV and PEE WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE. That's another shame. Paul Ruben is/was also a genius. Pauly Shore is not in the same league, but his ENCINO MAN and SON IN LAW are great ones.

I own "Bananas"...is that something i should admit?


Scott

BANANAS is a great one. Howard Cosell doing the pre-assasination commentary. The whole film is something.

I don't mind Woody Allen, but I admit I have not seen many of his movies.The one Im most familar with is "Whats Up Tiger Lilly". I love that movie, I thought it was really brilliant how Woddy could turn a bad Japanese spy movie into a great comedy.

Smells like popcorn and shame

>Most people don't like Woody Allen, because of his New York sophisicate humor that is a completely different level."
  exactly, that's the same thing that i was getting at in my earlier post in this thread. i think people just hate woody allen because his humor is smarter than they are and it requires people to use their brains which is something a lot of people don't want to do!

Chopper

Scott and Susan: Bananas is awesome! A little less on the brainy-side than his later work, but still real fun.

 "Hey don't worry about me I'm like a cat, I always land on my feet." (said as woody then turns around to the camera and starts wailing-lol, good stuff)

The film does have a special place in my heart. : ) Even though clowns don't really make cotton candy, I felt that it was a nice touch.

The fact that there was a lack of more female clowns bothered me more. Also, I believe that there should have been a better explanation of where they came from and why they felt humans would make a great snack.

I love the movie HUDSON HAWK. None of my friends like it, or can sit through 10 minutes of it. Cracks me up every time.

I agree with you, person from 16yrs ago.  :thumbup:
