Allen is an acquired taste and it is interesting to see how people rate his films on this thread. He is hit and miss for me, but when he does do something that connects with me, it is a keeper.
I myself have rated Annie Hall a 9 and Love and Death a 7. I was wondering Mr. vits, what you find so appealing about these 2 Allen films you have rated highly yourself and what makes them stand out above the others.
For me, Annie Hall is just pure delight and that it was made in one of my favorite era's for film, just makes it even better. I just find so much joy in it. I rated Manhattan a 4 then upped to 5. Despite the great look of the film, I find it average and unappealing for the most part. These characters were in complete contrast to what he gave us in Annie Hall and I find those that feel it is his masterpiece are just being pretentious. Love And Death gives me plenty of laughs and it really showcased a literate Allen too, who had an intelligent and fine visual grasp of his medium.
