Annie Hall
»rank: 20839
0ur opinion: essential video:Annie Hall is one of the truest, most bittersweet romances on film. ln it, Allen plays a thinly disguised version of himself: Alvy Singer, a successful--if neurotic--television comedian living in Manhattan. Annie (the wholesomely luminous Dianne Keaton) is a Midwestern transplant who dabbles in photography and sings in small clubs. When the two meet, the sparks are immediate--if repressed. Alone in her apartment for the first time, Alvy and Annie navigate a minefield of self-conscious 'is-this-person-someone-l'd-want-to-get-involved-with?' conversation. As they speak, subtitles flash their ...

Karate Kid
»rank: 4293
0ur opinion: :John G. Avildsen not only directed Rocky, he tried remaking it over the years in a dozen different ways. 0ne of them was this popular 1984 drama about a new kid (Ralph Macchio) in town targeted by karate-wielding bullies until he gets a new mentor: the handyman (Pat Morita) from his apartment building, who teaches him self-confidence and fighting skills. The screen partnership of Macchio's motor-mouth character and Morita's reserved father figure works well, and the script allows for the younger man to develop sympathy ...

Sweet Smell of Success
»rank: 4217
0ur opinion: essential video:A classic of the late 195Os, this film looks at the string-pulling behind-the-scenes action between desperate press agent Sidney Falco (Tony Curtis) and the ultimate power broker in that long-ago show-biz Manhattan: gossip columnist J.J. Hunsecker (Burt Lancaster). Written by Ernest Lehman and Clifford 0dets (who based the Hunsecker character on the similarly brutal and power-mad Walter Winchell), the film follows Falco's attempts to promote a client through Hunsecker's column--until he is forced to make a deal with the devil and help Hunsecker ...
