One can’t overemphasize the lasting contribution Annie Hall made in the field of menswear as ladieswear. Not since Dietrich has a tie looked so good.

Also, brilliant, painful, etc. The nerd girl into leather in the classroom flashback will always get me.

Good write up, Kevin.

Annie Hall’s probably my favorite movie of all time–from the bust out comic bits (young Alvy under the roller coaster track), to the hilarious McLuhan scene, to the genuinely bittersweet closing monologue about the chicken and the egg. I’ve seen it probably two dozen times and will watch it many, many more times.

I also love how Alvy’s such an unflinchingly unreliable narrator. I always feel like I’m jumping in to listening in on his memories of his past–filtered, told, and changed however he wants to change them–and then at the end of the movie, with the closing monologue, gently pushed back out of his life. Great, great movie.

I’ll admit, maybe my problem is that A.H. is too modern for me or something, but I have to say, one big highlight of this movie for me was when I saw Jeff Goldblum looking exactly the same in 1977 as he does now.

(And of course, the incomparable Christopher Walken… so hot right now.)
