#98. Because the laughter’s contagious
This weekend I finished watching the original film version of “Don’t Drink the Water,” the last movie on my list of Woody Allen films to see. Thus, I present to you…
My Top Five Six Favorite Woody Allen Films:
- Deconstructing Harry - As much as I hate Robin Williams, his segments in this film made me laugh so hard I cried.
- Bananas - Classic, slapstick Woody Allen. Plus, it’s always at my local library, so I can watch it over and over again for free.
- Don’t Drink the Water (1994-TV Movie) - Quick-paced dialogue, great “situation comedy,” all-around funny film
- Annie Hall - Everyone’s favorite. I’ve probably seen this more than any other Woody Allen film, besides “Sleeper.”
- Sleeper - The first Woody Allen film I clearly remember seeing as a kid. Great slapstick. This one’s good to watch with a crowd.
- Sweet and Lowdown - Just barely out of my top 5, this is a good Woody Allen film for non-fans. Great performance by Sean Penn, and of course, fantastic music.

If you like Sleeper, you should take a look at the Sculptured House where some of the movie takes place. I went to a fundraising dinner there once upon a time. It’s a magnificent building.

Growing up outside of Denver, I used to pass that house a lot on the way into the mountains. It’s so cool! I’m very jealous that you’ve been inside.

I can’t believe Hannah and Her Sisters is Not On Your List. That One is My Fave.
