Favorite or Funniest Scene


It's a great movie with a thousand hilarious scenes and jokes, but my favorite has to be the scene where they are driving to the airport in Wisconsin, with Christopher Walken driving. He has just the night before had his "confession" to Woody (Alvy). Fantastic!

I love when he says "I've been killing spiders since I was 30. Okay?"

That scene in which the pretentious-eager-to-impress-film-snob is rambling about Fellini and Marshall McLuhan and Alvy complains about him and the man claims he teaches TV Media and Culture in Columbia. I died laughing when Alvy actually pulls Marshall McLuhan from behind the poster and McLuhan says "You know nothing of my work... How you ever got to teach a course in anything is totally amazing." In Alvy's own words: boy, if life were only like this!

No love for the sneeze scene?

After being unable to convince Annie to go back to NY with him, Alvy rants against the Grammies : "Awards ! They do nothing but give awards ! I can't believe it... Greatest fascist dictator : Adolf Hitler".
All pumped up now with adrenaline, he manages to have four car accidents within 10 seconds, interwoven with flashbacks of the bumper car business of his father.
(Hitler is still making victims, and you can't escape your education).
Brilliant and absolutely hilarious !

... which reminds me of another pearl, in "Crimes and Misdemeanors" :
"Hey, honey, you're the one who stopped sleeping with me, okay? It'll be a year come April 20th. I remember the date exactly 'cause it was Hitler's birthday."

For me it was the Woody Allen scene where he sneezes out the $2000 an ounce coke and also the first driving scene where the driving through the streets of Brooklyn and Keaton somehow find a way to get a perfect parallel park in one move

Apples are rubbish

Well, it's not a "perfect" parallel park, or else Alvy wouldn't have had to comment, "It's OK; we can walk to the curb from here."

"If you kill yourself, they make you pay for the sessions you miss."

"We have sex constantly. 3 times a week./Barely. Only 3 times a week."

reply

The whole scene when he's lying in bed after sex with Shelly Duvall.

"Touch my heart - with your foot."
"I'm gonna be sick."

The two families split screen: I hate to admit that's how it is with my side as we're always yelling over each other over pointless issues. I always picture other families at the whitebread Halls.

Tony's "dance". It's basically one step away from standing. I usually break that out during a wedding.
