   Annie Hall is one of my favourite films of all time. I am 21 years old   
   and was about 17 when I first saw it and fell in love with it. I can   
   understand why you think it presents relationships of an era gone by,   
   but I can assure you it holds every bit of relevance that it should to   
   younger adults of today. The jokes certainly will never date, and will   
   always have me in stitches after the 100th time ("It's OK. We can walk   
   to the curb from here..." springs to mind right now!)
