“We need a truly magnificent PG-rated bitchface,” they said, and Moira Kelly said, “I’ve got it handled.”
“After that it got pretty late, and we both had to go, but it was great seeing Annie again. I… I realized what a terrific person she was, and… and how much fun it was just knowing her; and I… I thought of that old joke, y’know, this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, “Doc, my brother’s crazy! He thinks he’s a chicken.” And, the doctor says, “Well, why don’t you turn him in?” The guy says, “I would, but I need the eggs.” Well, I guess that’s pretty much now how I feel about relationships; y’know, they’re totally irrational, and crazy, and absurd, and… but, I guess we keep goin’ through it because most of us… need the eggs.”
71. Annie Hall (Woody Allen, 1977)
“Well la-di-da.”
Woody Allen Watch #6
Annie Hall is one of my favorite movies and a major part of why I decided to work my way through all of Woody Allen’s output. I don’t think there’s anything I can say about it that hasn’t already been said before - it’s funny and playful and, most of all, true. It is honest about relationships in a way that few other films are, capturing the ups and downs of one relationship in a way that feels completely real. It’s a wonderful movie.
66. The Cutting Edge (Paul Michael Glaser, 1992)
I was drunk and mad that there was no gymnastics or badminton on, so I made my boyfriend watch The Cutting Edge with me so I could see at least one of my favorite Olympic sports. He is a good boyfriend.
ALSO: I want there to be a Cutting Edge-esque movie for doubles tennis or badminton.
