Woody's best. And worst...


Saturday, June 26, 2010    Send to a friend Send to a friend
David Gritten has a list of Woody Allen's best ten and worst ten movies in today's Daily Telegraph, to mark Woody's fortieth full length release with Whatever Works starring Larry David. Woody (and David) are both heroes of mine, but Whatever Works has had some stinker reviews. As for the list, I'd add Sleeper to the top ten probably at the expense of Stardust Memories, Deconstructing Harry might sneak in at 10th for me, and I'd probably say Match Point is one of the worst films I've ever seen, not just the 10th worst Allen movie. His fans wish he'd retired a while ago. But as for Allen's recent claim that he's not achieved greatness in his film-making. Well, that's palpable nonsense. He's one of the comic greats of cinema history. And comedy is so much harder to do...
