   I am glad to read your post, Helen.   
      
   Because Annie Hall represents relationships a'la the 1970s, I guessed the   
   likelihood that people in your age group would find it rather archaic -- the   
   same way my own generation would have approached relationships in, say, a   
   film of the 1940s.  We would find it entertaining, of course, and certainly   
   respect the talent involved, but it would speak very little to our own idea   
   in the "modren" world.   
      
   However I don't know that you are represent the majority of film fans who   
   were born in 1982 in your approach to Annie Hall.
