As a confirmed movie aficionado ( or should it be film aficionado) I believe that I have seen most Oscar winners for best film. One of the ones I had been putting off seeing for some reason has always been Annie Hall. I am not sure why I hadn't seen it; it could be because my exposure to Woody Allen consisted of his newer stuff and Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Sex... when I was maybe 8. I think my reluctance came from 1. the hype and 2. I saw Crimes and Misdemeanor at the impressionable age of 15 and I was way more interested in boys at that point and I think we went to see the aforementioned movie as a last resort. So, I stayed up late on Monday night eating Garrett's popcorn and watching Annie Hall. It was wonderful. It was funny and bittersweet, an od combo for an Oscar winner. I'm amazed, as is seemingly everyone, at Woody's ability to almost always cast gorgeous, talented women as his love interest. All I wish now is that they hadn't torn the Thuderbolt down on Coney Island.
