Best & Worst: Endings
Best: "We just need the eggs" speech
Film: Annie Hall (1977)
Why It Rocks: After reuniting with Annie after a while, it's nice to hear Alvy impart some encouraging wisdom to us, book-ending the film with yet another sentimental take on a classic gag as he and Annie shake hands, kiss goodbye and go their separate ways.
Oh god, we're all crying now...
Worst: Skipping into the sunset
Film: Love and Death (1975)
Why It Sucks: Another monologue, but this time it's just a bit, well, rubbish.
What's the profound life advice that Boris Grushenko gives us upon leaving this mortal coil? What can we expect from our tumble into oblivion?
Well, "you know the chicken at Tresky's Restaurant? It's worse". We've looked at this line for a while now, but still can't find the joke.

Ah, but I love the Bananas courtroom scene! if only for the pan of the jury when we see one of them drinking from a fish bowl. Unexpected, surreal, hilarious. Plus you have the intro to that scene with the old lady and the hat, again, brilliant. Hell, the trailer is funnier that alot of his recent output and certainly more amusing than anything Apatow and the rest of the 'Jew-tang Clan' has been involved with (Anchorman being the sole exception).

Glad I'm not alone in thinking that Bananas dragged on throughout its last half hour.
