Best Picture of 1977: Annie Hall

To be in love is an interesting thing. Never is it more interesting when it's between two completely different people. That is never more true than the story of Annie Hall. Annie and Alvy are two people on the opposite ends of the spectrum. Annie is outgoing and hopeful about the world around her. Where Alvy is a bit more introverted and doesn't see everything in sunshine. Yet, they fall in love and try to work through their problems together... if only for a little while.


Woody Allen and United Artiest made a great combination in 1977 with this film. Annie Hall beat out: 20th Century Fox's Julia and The Turning Point; MGM's The Goodbye Girl; and Lucasfilm's Star Wars. In 1992 Annie Hall was selected for preservation by the National Film Registry.


Like I said in the last post 70's films seem to not be my jam. I was not a fan of this movie either. I found it very boring and way too long. I am more than shocked that this film beat out Star Wars for Best Picture.
