Annie Hall (1977)

Neurotic people are very funny. Larry David, the co-creator of Seinfeld has made a living off of his neurosis. George Costanza is the embodiment of Larry's neurotic behavior.

Whether it's wearing goggles to replace his "stolen" glasses, chasing down a stranger for not giving him a "thank you wave," or carrying a wallet the size of a baseball because he is convinced he will need his Irish money, George always has something funny happen to him. As funny as neurotic people are, sometimes they are very annoying. For example sometimes I just want to shout at George, "Knock it off!" Despite the annoying factor, I find Woody Allen, another big neurotic person, very entertaining.

Annie Hall is one of Woody Allen's first films. It chronicles Alvy Singer, a writer, and his relationship with a quirky aspiring singer Annie. The movie is shown from inside the mind of Alvy which means it isn't always in chronological order. It also means that he has conversations that didn't actually happen. Take his recollection of his school day for example:



I thought this movie was very funny. The movie's dialogue was very quick witted, and made for a fun hour and a half. I also enjoyed seeing Paul Simon play the part of a music producer.
