I first saw Annie Hall in 1977. It was the last movie I saw with my first long-term girlfriend...or “relationship” as they were called. We’d both been “in love” and had had some truly great moments but at that point we were drifting apart...drifting towards a breakup...and we both knew it but it hadn’t been said out loud. I was feeling very sad and wondering if I was just letting a once-in-a-lifetime great love just slip away. After watching Annie Hall, laughing with it and letting the basic message sink in I knew everything would be alright for both of us and that come what may we would ultimately end up leaving each other better than we’d found each other. It’s a sentiment I’d never share with my wife of 36 years. I watch this movie alone at least once a year and it always takes me back to a very special moment when I really finally “grew up”. Never “heavy”...AH has always been profound.

This is beautifully written.

[@jaymesguy239]

"I'm into leather." One of my favourite lines from a movie. ;)

[@theraven6836]

I first saw this with a friend in 1980 and have loved it ever since. I think I’ve seen it at least 10 time or more since then. This review makes me want to see it again.

[@redskinjack]

I love this film. One of the best. I'm going to watch it again soon.

[@bartonim]

Classic. Perfect film-making.

[@missAtoZ]

[@euginam91]

favorite movie

[@Musiclover8825]

1:25 I would argue that Louis CK matches up to that in Louie

[@jeffandrew300]

All about Eve over Sunset Boulevard The Apartment over Psycho (which wasn’t even nominated) Annie Hall over Star Wars Ehhh…what can you say? Sometimes two or more real keepers are made in one year. I’m especially glad that Annie won the Oscar though…I think the fact that it did has helped it secure it’s legacy.

One of the few comedies to win Best Picture Oscar.

[@sandorcsanad]

I am sorry i cant say best picture of my life coz it is older than me. But i know it word by word and still in love in Diane and cry whenever i hear "seems like old times". This movie defines my adoult life

[@dynjarren7523]

Diane Keaton was so cute with the suit she wore in this film. I normally could care less about fashion or clothes but she really looked adorable in that suit outfit. Plus she had a sweet personality that made her even more attractive. A great funny film and love story!

[@alankirkby465]

Looks like poseur/ attention seeker, to me. Pleace to all.

[@SpeegBJ]

La de dah, La de dah....... : )

[@Jordan781]

got my screenname from this movie. :)

[@Ponyboy_Curtis]

Ah... the New York Times. Please remain a cultural institution for years to come

[@EclecticoIconoclasta]

[@likearollingstone007]

It’s ovah man

[@davemail]

Judge the art, not the artist.

[@mango4ttwo635]

Love is fundamentally eeermmm

[@andrewchesterong6577]

Gotta love Diane Keaton

[@drummerjoe2610]

@griffin324 i'm assuming it's the same as his youtube username.

[@happyani5734]

Hello Joe How r u? Long time no see... R u all right?

[@happyani5734]

What did he say? Love is fundamentally...? What? Can anyone please tell?

[@nathalievargas3453]

imperfect

[@squamish4244]

My only problem with this movie is that it beat a certain other nominee of 1977 that became a modern mythology. But having been of the appropriate age to have Star Wars permanently seared into my mind, my opinion might be a little...skewed. Lol.

[@randywhite3947]

valar 😆 this movie is miles ahead of Star Wars

[@ashamazon2262]

The 70s were a good time for American cinema

[@SloanWentzell]

most genuinely confusing youtube recommendation yet
