 Annie Hall 1977  PG, 99 min.
Genre: Comedy / Romance
Director: Woody Allen
Cast: Woody Allen, Diane Keaton, Tony Roberts, Carol Kane, Paul Simon, Colleen Dewhurst, Janet Margolin, Shelley Duvall, Christopher Walken, Donald Symington, Helen Ludlam, Hy Anzell
Woody Allen's Academy Award-winning film is centered on the problems of a stand-up comedian's (Allen) love life with an endearingly genuine woman, Annie Hall (Diane Keaton). While the film explores highs and lows in their relationship, the viewer is constantly reminded of the gentle humor of life. From the master of the "I wish I'd said that" movies, Woody Allen: "I don't want to live in a city where the only cultural advantage is that you can make a right turn on a red light." In addition to Best Picture, Oscars also went to Woody Allen for his directing and to Diane Keaton for Best Actress. Allen was nominated for Best Actor.

Surfers are murdered by a sea monster–or is it something else? Another teen film of the era with plenty of surfing and music, etc. Bad directing and acting–just bad enough to get a half-star for the (unintended) laughs.

Rudy and twin brother Jacob (both played by Conor Donovan), Malee (Zoe Weizenbaum), and Leonard (Jesse Camacho) make up a tight group of friends. When Rudy is killed by local bullies who set fire to their tree house with Rudy in it, each of the group deals with the tragedy in their own way. Timid Jacob, who is self-conscious because of a large birthmark on his face, visits the jailed boys who set the fire to find out their motivation despite the grievances of his parents. Malee becomes infatuated with a construction worker who is one of her psychotherapist mother's clients, and obese Leonard starts working out and dieting while encouraging his overweight mother to do the same. A good coming-of-age film on coping with tragedy. Fine sound track.
