   Hi Munzerr,   
      
   Woody has made over 30 films, and everyone is excellant, but some are better   
   than others, but even a poor Woody film is (in my opinion) better than most   
   other peoples films. Here's my suggestion in no particular order:   
      
   Annie Hall for me is part of a trilogy, so you need to see Play It Again   
   Sam, Annie Hall and Manhattan Murder Mystery in that order.   
      
   Hannah and Her Sisters, Radio Days and Everyone Says I love You (Woody's   
   magical musical) are masterpieces of  nostalgia and leave you with a warm   
   glow at the end of them.   
      
   Crimes and Misdemeanors is possibly my all time favorite. It has two   
   intertwined story lines and like Match Point (but much, much better) deals   
   with how people deal with some pretty unpleasaent circumstances.   
      
   Sweet and Low Down is a mockumentary about the worlds second best jazz   
   guitarist and has such a sad ending my wife refuses to watch it.   
      
   Zelig is another wonderfull mockumentary about a man who can change his   
   appearance to match his surroundings.   
      
   A Midsummer Nights Sex Comedy: where Woody does for the countryside what he   
   did for the city in Manhattan!   
      
   Others that are really good include Celebrity, Shadows and Fog, Broadway   
   Danny Rose, The Purple Rose of Cairo. And then there are his more serious   
   films such as Interiors, September, Another Woman, and Husbands and Wives.   
      
   Then there are his outright comedies, which include Take The Money And Run,   
   Small Time Crooks, and even Scenes From A Mall!   
      
   I could go on and on - get them all!   
      
   Cheers,
