Best & Worst: Life Imitating Art
Best: Alvy and Annie
Film: Annie Hall (1977)
Alvy and Annie's initially meeting, subsequent dating and splitting-up are hard not to compare to the real life relationship between Diane Keaton and Woody Allen.
Tennis with friends, a drive through the city, wine on the balcony. If he'd whipped out his clarinet, we would have believed this was a home movie.
Worst: Issac and Tracy
Film: Manhattan (1979)
Davis tries to describe to a table of his friends over dinner why his new piece of fluff is so adorable ("She's 17. I'm older than her father. Can you believe that? I'm dating a girl wherein I can beat up her father").
It's all a bit too Barely Legal for our taste buds.

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.
