Friday Listing! What I love about 'Annie Hall'

- The quote: That sex was the most fun I've ever had without laughing.
- The invention of the word ‘lurve’, which I use quite often: Love is too weak a word for what I feel - I luuurve you.
- The love/hate comparisons between New York & L.A.
- Therapy scene – screen is split: "We have sex all the time, like three times a week" Annie says. "We rarely have sex, it’s like three times a week," Alvy says.
- The first time Alvy goes over to Annie’s place. They’re on the roof, and there’s these subtitles letting us know what they’re really thinking.
- Alvy’s previous girlfriends/wives. SOOO funny! Carol Kane and Shelly Duvall.
- It doesn’t have a fluffy ending, but it is SO endearing: After that, it got pretty late and we both had to go, but it was great seeing Annie again and I realized what a terrific person she was and how much fun it was just knowing her...and I thought of that old joke, you know, the, this, this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, 'Doc, uh, my brother's crazy, he thinks he's a chicken,' and uh, the doctor says, 'Well why don't you turn him in?' And the guy says, 'I would, but I need the eggs.' Well, I guess that's pretty much how I feel about relationships. You know, they're totally irrational and crazy and absurd and - but uh, I guess we keep going through it...because...most of us need the eggs. ---- We need the eggs! HA! It’s so great, you guys!
- The quote: A relationship, I think, is like a shark. You know? It has to constantly move forward or it dies. And I think what we got on our hands is a dead shark.
- Christopher Walken as Annie’s crazy brother.
- The dinner scene at Annie’s parents’ house, where Alvy imagines them all to think he’s a Hasidic Jew.
- A VERY young, Jeff Goldblum telling his agent at a big Hollywood party: What’s my mantra, again?!
- Paul Simon wooing Annie.
- Woody talks to the screen at times, making me feel like I’m his friend. :)
- Annie’s fashion! I totally rocked the Annie look in high school.
- When she says ‘well la-di-da’

Damn, I'm really realizing that I've never seen any old Woody movies with you. I think I've seen one and that was Shadows and Fog.
I'd better start doing some renting or I'll have to stop reading your blog.
