I'm generally not much of a Woody Allen fan, but I liked Midnight in Paris. (I don't dislike his movies. I just don't love them as much as most people do.)

That's the film which got me to me realize that Chaplin's films were more complex than what I had initially thought. It's one of my favorite first-time watches of this year.

26. Manhattan- Woody Allen

I liked this one quite a lot, but it isn't a film I put a lot of thought into, so I don't have many opinions to offer on it. I'm planning to revisit it later this year. Fellini sometimes leaves me stumped on what to make of his films (which isn't a problem with his films, btw).

A wonderful story. Both sad and funny. The two movies tell one story. When it was done, I was ready for more.

6. Blade Runner- Scott


This movie is loaded. it could be critiqued from several perspectives and has in fact been subject to such critique- Religion, Philosophy, Economics, Sociology, etc.

5. Purple Rose of Cairo- Woody Allen


I think this movie was a breath of fresh air. It seemed like a wonderful idea for a film. Another opportunity for Woody to illustrate what existentialism is about.

I am not alone in ranking this as Woody's best film.

1. My number one movie is Goodfellas. by Scorcese. To me this movie is the whole package. Good directing, good use of the soundtrack, great story, good acting.

Re: Diehl40's Top 100 Films (Favorites)
 

Nice list! Thanks for sharing it with us.

Re: Diehl40's Top 100 Films (Favorites)
 

I am satisfied with the top 20 and the bottom 20, but the middle was hard to rank for me. That's why I did the list.

I haven't seen a lot of Woody Allen's movies, but Purple Rose of Cairo is probably my favorite of the ones that I've seen.

@Diehl40,

This was a nice list. The top of the list was a little predictable, but I guess that's to be expected of most people's lists.

I have had these two movies on deck for about ten years. One day I'll pull the trigger on them
