Midnight in Paris is one of my favorite movies. It's so artsy, original, and inspiring. I'll never forget watching it for the first time.

10) "Crimes and misdemeanors" 0:45 9) "Sleeper" 1:50 8) "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" 2:32 7) "Zelig" 3:39 6) "The purple rose of Cairo" 4:51 5) "Mindnight in Paris" 6:00 4) "Stardust memories" 7:03 3) "Hannah and her sisters" 8:11 2) "Manhattan" 9:42 Honorable mentions (10:54): - "Blue Jasmine" - "Bananas" - "Love and death" - "Broadwayl Danny Rose" - "Husbands and wives" 1) "Annie Hall" 11:31

For me, Manhattan is his masterpiece, and I'll never forget the wonderful shock of seeing Jeff Daniels talk to Mia Farrow and then come down from the screen in The Purple Rose of Cairo. I was in a nearly empty cinema in Milan in 1985 when I watched it, and it was a real treat!

"it reminds me of that old joke - you know, a guy walks into a psychiatrist's office and says, hey doc, my brother's crazy! He thinks he's a chicken. Then the doc says, why don't you turn him in? Then the guy says, I would but I need the eggs. I guess that's how I feel about relationships. They're totally crazy, irrational, and absurd, but we keep going through it because we need the eggs." That sole qoute made Annie Hall for me, it summed up the entire movie, it was passionate, it made sense, and frankly I think without Woody Allen quoting old jokes it would not be the same movie. Manhattan was amazing as well but something about that qoute pushes me over the edge for Annie Hall, Maybe it's because I relate? or maybe I just think it's a good qoute, who knows though right?

Annie Hall is one of the best movies of all time.

This doesn't work because Allen's good films are too numerous to squeeze into a top ten.

I think "Deconstructing Harry" should have gotten an honorable mention. And "Take the Money and Run" should have been in the top 10 somewhere!

MATCHPOINT IS A MASTERPIECE. It's so good and deserves more respect than at least 5 or 6 of these other woody movies, if not more.

Interiors is one of my all-time favorites of his. Geraldine Page's performance as a meddling, passive-aggressive interior designer determined to throw her life away after her husband leaves her was a true thing of beauty.

One of my favorite directors... My top 10 1-Purple Rose of Cairo 2-Annie Hall 3-Manhattan 4-Hannah and Her Sisters 5-Husbands and Wives 6-Midnight in Paris 7-Manhattan Murder Mystery 8-Stardust Memories 9-Zelig 10-Everyone Says I Love You HM:Love and Death, Match Point, Vicky Christina Barcelona, Blue Jasmine, Another Woman.

Deconstructing Harry??? not even an honourable mention???

Most critics and fans arrange Woody Allen's films (the ones that he directed) into categories of great, good, and minor. Woody's greatest films certainly include Annie Hall, Hannah and Her Sisters, Manhattan, Crimes and Misdemeanors, Bullets Over Broadway, Zelig, The Purple Rose of Cairo, Radio Days, Stardust Memories, Sleeper, Love and Death, Blue Jasmine, Midnight in Paris, Vicky Christina Barcelona, Deconstructing Harry, Interiors, Husband and Wives, Broadway Danny Rose, Mighty Aphrodite, Bananas, and Oedipus Wrecks from New York Stories. Then there are such worthy films as Match Point, Scoop, Take the Money and Run, Alice, Everyone Says I Love You, Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex* (* But Were Afraid To Ask), Sweet and Lowdown, Small Time Crooks, Whatever Works, September, Manhattan Murder Mystery, Shadows and Fog, A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy, Another Woman, Celebrity, Hollywood Ending, To Rome with Love, Magic in the Moonlight, and Irrational Man. If you add films that Woody did not direct, Play It Again Sam, The Front, and Antz are very entertaining. Woody's minor films include You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger, Melinda and Melinda, Cassandra's Dream, Anything Else, and The Curse of the Jade Scorpion (Woody's personal choice for his worst film). There are a few of Woody's films that I have yet to see, including Cafe Society. Yes, I am a huge Woodyphile!

Love and Death only gets an honorable mention? Travesty!

Mr. Allen is a true American treasure. I have locked away my DVDs of all his films for my new born grandchild who will know me by some of them and I thank Mr. Allen with all my heart. My only dissension with the list is that I would put Crimes and Misdemeanors as number one and everything else would stay in the same order. Thank you for this wonderful link.

1. Hannah and Her Sisters 2. Annie Hall 3. Crimes & Misdemeanours 4. Manhattan 5. Midnight in Paris 6. Purple Rose of Cairo 7. Love & Death 8. Play It Again, Sam 9. Blue Jasmine 10. Match Point

Take the Money and Run is one of the funniest movies ever made. Maybe not technically a very good film, but just hysterically funny.

Match Point not on this list is outrageous

What makes me happy in this cold, rainy and lonely Friday evening is that Woody Allen has so many films! Despite being his huge fan, I still have many films that I haven't watched yet!

I like how everyone is bashing him now that he`s all up in the news. How does his personal life change the fact that he did some pretty good movies?

I don’t care about his personal life. He is a genius in the art form of movie. I feel nourished by his work

annie hall is not only the best allen Movie, its also one of the greatest Movies ever made!

How could they forget "Play It Again Sam"? One of my all-time favorite movies.

How could Husbands & Wives (1992) not be on this list ?

"Take the Money and Run" was one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

Everything works so good with midnight in Paris; screenplay, Paris, characters, and Marion Cotillard. I can watch this movie over and over, it's so good.

Another Woman is not mentioned and it never is. For me this film is so far in-front of all his others (and I love them all) that it is completely lonesome. The summery alone in this film always brings tears to my eyes. " I closed the book, and felt a strange mixture of wistfulness and hope. And I wondered if a memory is something you have or something You've lost."

Radio Days is easily one of his best. Top 5 for sure, let alone top 10. But hey, who am I to decide smh

Wow! What a genius Allen really is. Look at that list - a great list by itself, the honorable mentions, and the omissions - like Another Woman, Interiors & Matchpoint, all terrific movies in their own right. The depth of creativity and intelligence in his vast body of work is truly unparalleled. A true movie icon.

I like Match Point a lot, probably more than Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

I think Mighty Aphrodite should be on the list. Good movie and Mira Sorvino won an oscar for her part. Also Match Point should be high on this list... What a great movie with an unexpected ending...

New York Stories and Manhattan Murder Mystery are both def worth a mention too

Great list. "Annie Hall" was the 1st Woody Allen film I saw. I was eleven yrs. old, my older sister took me. In the film I related to when he was a little kid, that was about it. The rest of the film was over my head except for a few others. I love the Gershwin "Rhapsody in Blue" along w/ the backdrop of NYC in "Manhattan". If I ever won big w/ the lotto, I would get a place in Manhattan. I love NYC!!!

AGREE, but I am surprised you did not include Match Point!

As a kid.. I was always intrigued, and entertained by Allen. No matter what dirt has been kicked on him, he remains to be a complicated sophisticated comical genius, to say the least.

Deconstructing Harry is a favorite. I've watched it a dozen times and could watch it a dozen more. So much humor. "My sister is the opposite of paranoid. She has the delusion that people actually like her."

I love "Hannah And Her Sisters",it's such a great example of a romantic comedy drama.

Manhattan murder mystery is my favourite

unpopular opinon: i really liked Scoop

Sweet and Lowdown is not only one of the greatest Woody Allen Movies - it's also one of the best Sean Penn Performances and it's definitely the best Samantha Morton Performance.

Whatever Works, and Match Point are my very favourite along with Crimes and Misdemeanors and Hannah, but there are so many more! (Deconstructing Harry, and Take the Money and Run also come to mind...) I tried to make a Top10 Woody list once, and ended up with more than 15.

"I am a huge Woody Allen fan, although I've only seen "Antz." But I'll tell you something, what I respect about that man is that when he was going through all of that stuff that came out in the press, about how "Antz" was just a ripoff of "A Bug's Life," he stayed true to his films. Or at least the film that I saw, which, again, was "Antz." Thing is, I thought "A Bug's Life" was better, much better than "Antz." Point is, don't listen to your critics. Listen to your fans." - Michael Scott 17 February 2011

Mighty Aphrodite is probably my favorite out of his entire filmography. It's so different from all of the movies he's directed in his career and it's just damn funny.

An interesting list, although he made many thought provoking and very funny films throughout his career,, but I think his best work was in the 70s and early 80s. For what its worth, my own top 10 would be 10. Deconstructing Harry 9. Mighty Aphrodite 8. Sleeper 7. Take the money and run 6. Everything you wanted to know about sex 5. Hannah and her sisters 4.Manhattan 3.Love and Death 2. Play it again Sam 1. Annie Hall

What about "Take the Money and Run"? That mockumentary was hilarious. The scene where Virgil meets Louise in the park is classic. Virgil: "After fifteen minutes I want to marry her, and after a half-hour I completely gave up the idea of snatching her purse." ROFL

"Midnight in Paris" is magical.

It's really hard to believe you missed Play it Again Sam...it was a play first and then a movie...with the same actors. How could you miss that one....

Took me forever to watch “Whatever works” and it is by far one of the most interesting and entertaining movies of his😅

I also like: Play it again Sam (with Diane Keaton), Take the money and run, Match point, Magic in the moonlight

BULLETS OVER BROADWAY???

"It'll be a year come April 20th. I remember the date exactly, because it was Hitler's birthday." lol

More than a bit surprised that "Bullets Over B'way", didn't at least make the honorable mentions category.

Great list! 'Manhattan Murder Mystery' is a definite favorite, as well. Happy 85th Birthday, Woody Allen! :-D

Everyone talks about Allen's angsty and existential art films, but completely ignores his comedy work. Dont get me wrong, his serious films are wonderful, but his greater genius I believe in terms of being truly revolutionary is in comedy. In terms of being deep, thought provoking, philosophical, there are many writers that are heads and shoulders above Allen. Many of these writers Allen makes frequent references to in his films like Dostoevsky and Tolstoy. However, in comedy Allen is an absolute titan of the genre. What's Up Tiger Lilly? singlehandedly created the "dub over spoof" which would later take youtube by storm as "abridged comedy". Take the Money and Run was the first "Mockumentary" ever made. There would be no Spinal Tap or Life Aquatic without Take the Money and Run. Many of Allen's jokes were so funny that films are ripping them off 50 years later, like the cocaine sneeze seen in Annie Hall, used in Horrible Bosses, a full 40 years afterwards. In terms of his impact on the genre of comedy, Allen pretty much stands alone.

I like Manhattan more than Annie Hall :(

Woody Allen is one of my all time favorite directors. I want to write something like Annie Hall someday

Woody’s most recent movie was actually brilliant. Casting Wallace Shawn and Gena Gershwin in the title roles was smart. “Rifkin’s Festival” is worthy of Woody’s fans time. It’s really quite good. The European supporting actors were class A talents. Woody took to filming this one with other parties other than the traditional studios he works with in Europe and it worked out well.

It's hard to come up with a top 10 when there are so many contenders. "Take The Money & Run" and "Love And Death" would definitely be in my top 10. I also have a sweet spot for "Sweet & Lowdown." There's something about Samantha Morton's performance. "Mighty Aphrodite" and "Deconstructing Harry" were pretty good, too, so...yes, definitely a difficult task to have a top 10 list.

Zelig is an astounding piece of filmmaking.

Woody Allen, he is one of the best directors in the history of film. "Crimes and Misdemeanours", one of the most important movies ever made. "Annie Hall", one of the greatest movie ever made.

Zelig and Purple Rose were truly original ideas that he managed to pull off back before CGI, and show what a great film maker he really is. Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy is an under rated but beautiful movie that is funny but deals with the possibility that there is an "unseen world" that science can't quantify, but I think his masterpiece was Manhattan...a basic love story. His older. "funny" movies don't hold up as well.

So it would be great to have another top 10 list "Another Top 10 Woody Allen movies"

My favorite Woody Allen will always be Blue Jasmine. I've seen it 6 times.

1. Play It Again Sam 2. Annie Hall 3. Take the Money and Run So many good movies in recent years -- for example, Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

Woody Allen is the greatest living director and screenwriter. A true genius.

I'm going through a boxset of his movies now and from what I've seen so far I'd say 1) Crimes and Misdemeanors 2) Manhattan 3) Annie Hall 4) Zelig 5) Hannah and her Sisters 6) Radio Days 7) Bananas 8) Purple Rose of Cairo 9) Broadway Danny Rose 10) Midnight in Paris If you count Oedipus Wrecks from New York Stories I'd probably put it around 4 or 5 and Play it Again Sam would probably squeak into the top 10 too

I like the list but I think three movies could have easily been on the list. Radio Days Interiors Bullets over Broadway

"Take the money and run". First Woody Allen picture I saw. Love it.

1. Annie Hall 2. Manhattan 3. Hannah and Her Sisters 4. Broadway Danny rose 5. Radio days 6. Match Point 7. Play it again Sam 8. Mighty Aphrodite 9. Husbands and Wives 10. Fading Gigolo

Match Point is the best of them all!!!

Match Point and Radio Days should have been on the list. Glad that Midnight in Paris and Purple Rose got mentioned.

"Match Point" was an absolutely brilliant film. How could this not make the Top 5? Not even the Top 10? Or an honorable mention? What an oversight.

1. Annie Hall 2. Hannah and Her Sisters 3. Manhattan 4. The Purple Rose of Cairo 5. Crimes and Misdemeanors 6. Radio Days 7. Bullets Over Broadway 8. Broadway Danny Rose 9. Midnight in Paris 10.Vicky Cristina Barcelona

I'm so glad Annie Hall is on the top! It's one of my all time favourites...

Crime's and misdemeanor's absolute MASTERPIECE. Wow what a movie.

Woody Allen's movies are the best. It's about real life with ups and downs it's about old good times.Hes very creative.

Good list and analysis. I would however swap the last two. Annie Hall was my favorite Allen movie for the longest time, but Manhattan surpassed it for me after I watched it a few times. The story, the photography, the incredible music of Gershin, the amazing New York backdrop, and above all, the wonderful acting by all characters make it my all-time favorite film.

FINALLY! I was waiting for this countdown for 2 years!!!

I think Match Point should be mentioned.

I missed Manhattan Murder Mystery. Anyway Allen is a total genius in everything he does.

Normally I rarely agree with the mainstream choice for various reasons, but after seeing every one of his films it's hard for me to say Annie Hall isn't his best. Just truly spectacular, inspired, and one of the greatest films ever made imo.

Personal Top 5:- Manhattan- Annie Hall- Love and Death- Take the Money and Run- ZeligLease favorite: anything with Mia Farrow in it.

Annie Hall...the most literate comedy of all time. Might be the the most critically acclaimed comedy of all time. 1977 was a very good year..

Great list. Here's my personal Top-10 of Woody Allen films (very difficult to trim to 10): 10) Vicky Christina Barcelona 9) Hannah and Her Sisters 8) Bananas 7) The Purple Rose of Cairo 6) Zelig 5) Midnight In Paris 4) Radio Days (Probably the most underrated Woody Allen film) 3) Annie Hall 2) Manhattan (Although Woody dislikes the film) 1) Sleeper

I think Vicky Cristina Barcelona should be bumped down to an honorable mention, Blue Jasmine should be made number 10, and Crimes and Misdemeanors and Sleeper should be moved up one, making Zelig 9. C&M and Sleeper both have fantastic things to say about society (C&M) and the science fiction genre (Sleeper), while I found VCB to be just a lot of fluff. And Blue Jasmine - while imperfect - has without a doubt Cate Blanchett's best performance.

Not even a mention of Radio Days, I am actually upset at this. Radio Days is easily Allen's most underrated work, it's incredibly touching. And no Play It again, Sam??? This list is awful!

Purple Rose of Cairo should have been top 3. It's one of my all time favorites. I'm glad Zelig made the list. Not his most well known but was brilliantly done. Also I would have had 'Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex' somewhere on the list. The final segment inside of a man's body is classic.

22. I love 22 of his films. Can't think of another artist who has so many wonderful works.

I am in love with Midnight in Paris and Magic in the moonlight! Seriously! I'v watched it about 10 times and still love it!

Broadway Danny Rose shold have featured in the top 10

How did you miss Radio Days? That was a fantastic movie, but nothing can compete with Zelig, that's a real masterpiece.

Interiors was not mentioned. This is one of my favorite (Ingmar Bergman vibe) movies that I love. Hannah and Her Sisters, Vicky, Christina Barcelona, Husbands and Wives, Blue Jasmine and Midnight in Paris are tops!!! Play it again Sam with Woody Allen as actor is also a top favorite.

I guess I pretty much agree with the top three. I've seen those but not all of them mentioned. I wish Radio Days and Mighty Aphrodite would have rated at least HM. I also wish that Love and Death had a larger following. Another commenter also mentioned Allen's contribution, Oedipus Wrecks, to the three-segment movie New York Stories, which I have sometimes said contains my all-time favorite movie line, said by the magician's assistant: "Maybe it has got something to do with...molecules."

11:41 My favourite Annie Hall line Alvy: You're having an affair with your college professor, that jerk who teaches that incredible crap course contemporary-existential-crisis.... Annie: Existential Motives and Russian Literature! You're really close. Alvy: What's the difference? It's all mental masturbation. Annie: Oh, now we're getting to a subject your know something about!

Love and Death!!!

Bullets over broadway! that's the genius one!

1. Annie Hall 2. Manhattan 3. Crimes and Misdemeanors 4. Hannah and Her Sisters 5. The Purple Rose of Cairo 6. Zelig 7. Broadway Danny Rose 8. Radio Days 9. Match Point 10. Stardust Memories Honorable Mentions: Sleeper, Love and Death, Interiors, Husbands and Wives, Bullets Over Broadway, Deconstructing Harry, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Midnight in Paris, Blue Jasmine

Finally!! I've been waiting so long for this keep doing on directors because that is all i come here mostly for

When I'm asked, I always say that my favourite Woody Allen film is the one I'm watching at the time. I would never even attempt to come up with a top 10, because it would mean leaving off so many that I love dearly. Woody Allen is one of the great cinematic geniuses.

Great list! Annie Hall is also my favorite, but the only ones missing are Match Point and Interiors.

Allan Stewart Konigsberg has brought more joy and insight to me that is unmeasurable! I love you Woody!!!
