Woody Allen is a great director and a wonderful actor, but his true gift lies in writing, particularly screenwriting. He is witty, straight-forward, honest, and hysterical. In "Annie Hall," he has paired with a very young Diane Keaton to deliver a gem of a motion picture. Both actors' performances are remarkably good, and Allen's directing is superb. His characteristic "side comments" delivered straight into the camera really give the viewer insight into his character's mind, consequently making him more accessible and loveable. This movie is incredibly funny in a very intellectual way, with most of its witty jokes becoming memorable and more understandable with the passing of time. "Annie Hall" is a delightful movie about love, sex, relationships, and marriage, among other things, colored by Woody Allen's wit and extraordinary eloquence. A terrific film!Read full review
Although I'm a big fan of his work, I have some issues with the packaging. First, the spines on the DVDs didn't match the stock photo. Second, each DVD claimed to have a "Collectible Booklet," although the majority of them were missing. In fact, of the eight, only two had booklets. I returned these for another set, and it was the same problem: The spines didn't match, and this time only five had the "Collectible Booklet." The subsequent Volumes 2 and 3 didn't have this problem. I don't know if the folks at MGM are just careless with their packaging. I see that the first volume is now out of print, and the price has risen accordingly.
This is my fav Woody Allen movie. It makes you laugh, it's poignant, it's real.

Great movie! I had to buy it to re-live and enjoy the the late 60's and early 70's. Those were the best years of my life! Both Diane Keaton and Woody Allen were terrific with exceptional performances. It makes you think about relationships and how to deal with your own needs. Woody Allen is such a neurotic in this movie but very funny. Don't miss the appearance of Paul Simon and quite a few other celebrities! Overall, this is a great movie and well worth buying cause you'll want to see it again and again but not every day. You'll want to keep it for viewing every so often. It's a classic and will always be one. I think the hat Diane wears is the same hat she wears in "Plan B" which is also terrific! coonhoundpal
