Men of Crisis: The Woody Allen Top 27 List
The list is in a state of flux. After watching Seb buy numbers 2, 3, and 7; and after watching number 2, number 2 became number 1 so I had to buy number 1 to make certain it was number 1 since it is number 4 on my top 10 of all time; and, having not yet rewatched number 1, it will remain at number 1 based on my memories of putting it at number 1. This goes double for every other movie on this list. Therefore, with less certainty than I have about the number of cockroaches in our kitchen, I present The Woody Allen Top 27 List:
1 Manhattan
2 Crimes and Misdemeanors
3 Hannah and Her Sisters
4 Annie Hall
5 The Purple Rose of Cairo
6 Deconstructing Harry
7 Husbands and Wives
8 Radio Days
9 Zelig
10 Bullets Over Broadway
11 Interiors
12 Bananas
13 Sweet and Lowdown
14 Alice
15 Melinda and Melinda
16 Manhattan Murder Mystery
17 Men of Crisis: The Harvey Wallinger Story
18 Take the Money and Run
19 Mighty Aphrodite
20 Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex * But Were Afraid to Ask
21 Celebrity
22 Everyone Says I Love You
23 Sleeper
24 Anything Else
25 Shadows and Fog
26 Small Time Crooks
27 The Curse of the Jade Scorpion
I believe I am only missing nine and have rashly added most of them to netflix.

broadway danny rose
midsummer night's sex comedy
and I can't believe you put Melinda and Melinda over Mighty Aphrodite
I'll limit my list to a top ten. This is as hastily assembled as Mike's and may be looked upon as foolish by some of you, I prefer the term unconventional (or unconventionally foolish).
1. Deconstructing Harry
2. Crimes and Misdemeanors
3. Annie Hall
4. Manhattan
5. Hannah and Her Sisters
6. Bananas
7. Husbands and Wives
8. Purple Rose of Cairo
9. Everyone Says I Love You
10. Alice
Broadway Danny Rose - think I saw it but don't remember at all, its all queued up at netflix
Midsummer.. - never saw it. Should I?
Mighty Aphrodite - I liked it. I also liked Melinda and Melinda.
Isaac tells me I liked Everyone says I love you more than its current spot suggests. Since he was there when I saw it and I wasn't, I'll move Everyone Says to number 19 (one above Mighty Aphrodite) thus pushing Mighty Aphrodite down to a lower place on the list than it was. To recap: Mighty Aphrodite used to be one higher on the list and now it is one lower.
1. Manhattan
2. Husbands and Wives
3. Purple Rose of Cairo
4. Deconstructing Harry
5. Crimes and Misdemeanors
6. Hannah and Her Sisters
7. Zelig
8. Radio Days
9. Annie Hall
10. Mighty Aphrodite
11. Sleeper
1. Hannah and Her Sisters
2. Crimes and Misdemeanors
3. Manhattan
4. Husbands and Wives
5. Annie Hall
6. Purple Rose of Cairo
7. Radio Days
At this point I should really stop because I'd have to put up decent/okay movies I have seen, like Alice and Manhattan Murder Mystery, instead of movies that are almost certainly better that I have not seen, like Decontructing Harry, Bullets Over Broadway, Love and Death (has nobody really seen this? It was his second-biggest grosser at the box office), etc.
Just saw Broadway Danny Rose, and would like to place it either right before or right after Hannah and Her Sisters, can't decide.
Saw Husbands and Wives again; it gets bumped up over Manhattan. Actually, a reordering of the top 7 is probably appropriate:
1. Hannah
2. Crimes
3. Husbands
4. Radio Days
5. Manhattan
6. Purple Rose
7. Annie Hall (pending re-watching)
