Episode Synopsis

Episode 55: ANNIE HALL

This week's episode takes us to New York City in the mid-Seventies. Woody Allen wrote, directed and starred in this semiautobiographical comedy about a comedian reflecting on his recently defunct romance with a quirky aspiring singer. Allen plays the lead, Alvy Singer, and Diane Keaton gives a career-defining performance in the title role.

This is the movie that beat Star Wars for the 1977 Best Picture prize, and it ranks #15 on our countdown.*

Spoiler Alert: We talk about the movie in its entirety, so if you haven't yet seen it, check it out. Or not. That ball is in your court.

*What is this list?
We explain it in more detail in our Trailer and its Description, but as a high-level answer: we aggregated several different lists that rank the ninety-four winners of the Best Picture Academy Award in a rough attempt to get a consensus. It is not intended to be rigorous or definitive. It's just a framework to guide our journey through cinema history.
