What's your favorite Woody Allen film?

For me, it's either the 1996 classic "What's Up, Tiger Lily?" or the 1977 hit "Annie Hall".

His post-Annie Hall films seem to lack something, namely HUMOR, I could never get into them... they were almost morbid and freaky by comparison...

And why he's embarrassed about "What's Up..." is beyond me! From Miracle Whip to egg salads to "foreign version" to where people live to a spy meeting his mother on a ship (!), this movie is a non-stop laugh riot that outpaces modern comedies by about 70 MPH... It's also pure genius, I doubt it was easy taking a foreign film, thinking of any dialogue that would create even a remotely coherent story let alone a funny one and superimposing it on the original actors. The Lovin Spoonful's music score is great, too...

Edit: Here's a review of "Tiger Lily". http://www.filmcritic.com/misc/emporium.nsf/0/47269bf6b970187888256d730064baab?OpenDocument and http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00009Q4W7/ref=cm_cr_dp_2_1/103-4605119-4003048?v=glance&s=dvd&vi=customer-reviews for another!
