I resent that you don't have even one Woody Allen's movie in your top list. In mine there would be at least 5 of them :). >

Maybe Manhattan because it has a lot of Gershwin and Mariel Hemingway. The cinematography (B&w) is amazing. My understanding is Allen didn't want the movie to be released - perhaps because his character - instead of the loveable neurotic genius he'd like to see himself as - is pretty clearly a guy with a lot of insecurity issues and a taste for jailbait.
I thought the movie worked.
I like some of his movies, but he wears on me quickly. This one, though, holds up for me on re-watching.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
