Amazon.com essential video:
Annie Hall is one of the truest, most bittersweet romances on film. In it, Allen plays a thinly disguised version of himself: Alvy Singer, a successful--if neurotic--television comedian living in Manhattan. Annie (the wholesomely luminous Dianne Keaton) is a Midwestern transplant who dabbles in photography and sings in small clubs. When the two meet, the sparks are immediate--if repressed. Alone in her apartment for the first time, Alvy and Annie navigate a minefield of self-conscious "is-this-person-someone-I'd-want-to-get-involved-with?" conversation. As they speak, subtitles flash their unspoken thoughts: the likes of "I'm not smart enough for him" and "I sound like a jerk." Despite all their caution, they connect, and we're swept up in the flush of their new romance. Allen's antic sensibility shines here in a series of flashbacks to Alvy's childhood, growing up, quite literally, under a rumbling roller coaster. His boisterous Jewish family's dinner table shares a split screen with the WASP-y Hall's tight-lipped holiday table, one Alvy has joined for the first time. His position as outsider is uncontestable he looks down the table and sizes up Annie's "Grammy Hall" as "a classic Jew-hater."

The relationship arcs, as does Annie's growing desire for independence. It quickly becomes clear that the two are on separate tracks, as what was once endearing becomes annoying. Annie Hall embraces Allen's central themes--his love affair with New York (and hatred of Los Angeles), how impossible relationships are, and his fear of death. But their balance is just right, the chemistry between Allen's worry-wart Alvy and Keaton's gangly, loopy Annie is one of the screen's best pairings. It couldn't be more engaging. --Susan Benson




Rating: - Great film, good DVD
This is one of MGM's earliest DVDs, and is typical of these (though no worse for it). The disc contains the theatrical widescreen (1.85:1) version of the film on one side and the TV fullscreen (1.33:1) on the other. The main menu is functional, but it isn't pretty: the background is a grainy film still of Allen and Keaton at the waterfront with the Brooklyn Bridge as the backdrop, and the menu selections are lime green text! You can't miss them.

The audiovisual quality is unexceptional. ... Read More

Rating: - Allen's Finest! Too Bad About the DVD!
After watching a few of Woody Allen's films this is the one I found the most accomplished, interesting and funny other than "Take The Money and Run". "Sleeper" really lives up (or should I say down) to its name and after that I didn't think I'd risk another Allen flick until I watched this one. Allen plays the neurotic romantic self-sabotager role very well and watching his attempts at getting the ultimate chalk and cheese relationship to work was amusing for the most part and hilarious in a few of ...

Rating: - A very classic Woody Allen...had to be written by him
Woody Allen is a genius..............as certainly brought forth in Annie Hall. I sat thru the movie three times when I first saw it...as did the people I was with......It's definately worth adding to a collection...and enjoyed every minute of it. Diane Keaton can best be described as fetchingly perfect as his girlfriend.....I cannot even picture anyone else in that particular movie.

Rating: - 3.5 stars out of 4
The Bottom Line:

A delightful, original film starring a very funny Woody Allen and perfectly-cast Diane Keaton, Annie Hall is one of the best movies Allen has ever made and one of the best romantic comedies ever made by anyone.

Rating: - five stars for brilliance, one star for perversity and depression
this movie is brilliant - quick, smart, and funny - got me to laugh out loud many times, which is rare for a movie, especially one created over thirty years ago. for that i give it five stars.

BUT, i average those five stars with one star for the sick negatives of the movie: the palpable negativity and perversity of Woody Allen (like this is news to anyone!), the pointless casual sex which is killing our species, the ultimately hopeless message that dating and romance is the way (it's not!), ...
