He is credited as actor, director, playwright and screen writer and single-handedly changed the face of comedy films during the 1970s. He has at times been compared to Chekhov and has won too many awards to count, including several Oscars. For the definitive Woody Allen movie, check out Annie Hall , a film that pipped Stars Wars to the post for Best Film Oscar can't be bad! Directors... ...Ridley Scott ...Steven Spielberg ...Quentin Tarantino ...Stanley Kubrik ...James Cameron ...Martin Scorsese ...Tim Burton ...John Ford ...Directors Cuts Annie Hall Released in 1977, this film beat Star Wars for Best Picture at the Oscars. Starring Allen as comedy writer Alvy Singer, the film follows his attempt to build a relationship with singer Annie Hall ( Diane Keaton ) after two previous marriages ended in divorce. Just when he’s starting to believe that Annie may be different, her singing career takes off and the subsequent fame that she enjoys eventually destroys the relationship.

Hannah & Her Sisters According to the words of one critic this film ‘established Woody Allen as the urban poet of our anxiety-ridden age’, this is an enchanting story about the life and loves of Hannah ( Mia Farrow ) and her sisters Holly ( Dianne Weist ) and Lee ( Barbara Hershey).
