Great list, Jason. I'm glad we agree on Love and Death (Bob Hope and Woody Allen is a match made in comedic heaven). I'm definitely more of a fan of his "earlier, funnier films" but I admit that I haven't seen Bananas or Take the Money and Run in a long time; I wanted the DVDs for Christmas, but I think they've stopped making new copies and the price is ridiculously high on both :(

What's Up. Tiger Lily might be controversial for the number two spot, but I'm glad you like it so much. It's hilarious and underrated; I remember laughing a lot when I saw it.

Midnight In Paris needs to sit with me more before it can crack the top ten. I bought the DVD but I haven't gotten around to rewatching it.

Annie Hall might be a popular pick, but there's a lot to love about that movie, and I feel it's his most complete film.

Crimes and Misdemeanors and Match Point are obviously similar, but I love both for their differences. Match Point is a sexy, young drama unlike anything Woody has ever done. And Crimes and Misdemeanors features one of my favorite comedic teams in all of cinema: Woody and Alan Alda. Alda plays the pseudo-intellectual role to perfection.

I need to rewatch Zelig, it'd probably be higher on my list if I did. I still haven't seen Bullets of Broadway or Mighty Aphrodite...which I know many people hold in high-esteem.
