Favorite Woody Allen Film?

I merged your new thread with an already, yet dated, thread of the same topic.
Actually, cutter, you would have found this thread on the second page of results if you only searched for Woody Allen.

Anywho…
It’s amazing. I’ve seen What's Up, Tiger Lily?, Bananas, Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex * But Were Afraid to Ask, Annie Hall, Manhattan, A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy, Broadway Danny Rose, Hannah and Her Sisters, Radio Days, and Crimes and Misdemeanors, but not for at least 15 years for all of ‘em. I’ve gone ahead and rated them anyway in the past, but I don’t do that anymore. I barely remember anything about any of ‘em except bits and pieces and the overall feel of how much I liked it. I pretty much remember liking them all…some a whole lot, so I’m anxious to see them all again.
Actually, that might be a doable quest.
What I’ve seen more recently and remember quite well are Manhattan Murder Mystery, Bullets Over Broadway, Deconstructing Harry, and Melinda and Melinda, which I enjoyed at varying degrees. I’ve seen The Purple Rose of Cairo around ten times…loving every minute of it.
I’ve missed quite a few of his newer ones, some of which I want to see now that its been brought up, like Small Time Crooks (I know it’s not too popular, but still…), Sweet and Lowdown, and Mighty Aphrodite (just to say I have at least).
I like Woody Allen flicks. I like his manic personality, his self-loathing, and his hilarious nervous fear. He’s incredibly funny and one of hell of an auteur.

It's hard to pick a favourite, but... Manhattan probably. I've liked most films by him that I've seen, even Everyone Says I Love You although I usually don't like musicals. I haven't seen any of his newer films since Celebrity (which I liked a lot). I did not like Shadow and Fog that much though. I felt like he was trying a bit too hard to do some kind of Kafka/Bergman "thing". It wasn't a disaster though.

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.

When I'm in that very rare mood, nothing does the trick like a Woody movie. I like everything of his I've seen. A BAD Woody Allen film is still better than most people's best. My FAVS are:
SWEET AND LOWDOWN- (one of my all-time favs)
Bananas
Love & Death
Everything You've Always Wanted to Know about Sex but were Afraid to Ask
Sleeper
Curse of the Jade Scorpion
