Broadway Danny Rose - fpw - 07-03-2004
I saw this again. To my mind, this and Zelig are Allen's best.
Excellent dialogue. One of my favorite exchanges:
Tina: They shot him in the eyes.
Danny: Oh my God, he's blind?
Tina: He's dead.
Danny Rose: Of course, the bullets would go right through...
(No it doesn't do much for me in print either. You have to see it to appreciate it.)

Two of his best without a doubt. My list would also include What's Up, Tiger Lily?, Purple Rose of Cairo (I have a soft spot for this as it truly launched Jeff Daniels career), Manhattan Murder Mystery, Bullets Over Broadway, and Crimes and Misdemeanors (by far my favorite among his more dramatic fare).

My favorite Woody Allen line in any movie is "If he looked at me like that, I'd hit him in the head with a brick", from Mighty Aphrodite. Not sure why, but it cracks me up every single time.

I hope you're not overlooking "Deconstructing Harry." The scene with Robin Williams alone is worth a watch. The earlier Woody Allen fare, such as "Take the Money and Run" is too dated for our times. I think he came into his own with "Annie Hall" and "Manhattan." But then I'm probably showing my age again. But don't let a twenty-something slacker fool you. Remember, I'm the one who loves Laurel and Hardy over Seinfeld or Friends.
