All things Woody Allen – a fansite, news and reviews
It’s a huge deal and it reflects the changing media landscape. And once again, Amazon has come to play in Allen’s work. Amazon has now agreed to buy MGM, which means they are the new rights owner of many Woody Allen films. Amazon will pay a whopping $8.45 billion for MGM’s catalogue of film and […]
Our incredibly random Video Of The Week series continues with an odd video from 1983, featuring ‘Woody Allen’ so to speak. For some reason in 1983, WNBC decided to take to the streets with a comedian dressed like Woody Allen to see if anyone would be fooled by the celebrity sighting. Many people did, and […]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYI44lsm0iA YouTube seems to unearth wonders on a regular basis. A new (irregular) video of the week is a recently uploaded interview with very little detail. It is a one hour long interview with Woody Allen in 1987. It’s a British interview of some sort (can anyone identify it?), and it’s rare because Allen did […]
Results time! For March, we ask you to help us rank all 46 Woody Allen films to date. It is something we’ve wanted to do from day one of starting this site – we just always imagined that the films the fans loved would be different to what the critics say, and what the wider […]

Regular visitors of the site will know that we have started our first web video series – “10 Things About…”. We’re going through all 46 (to date) Woody Allen films, from Take The Money And Run to Café Society, and we’ll probably have to tackle the 2017 film by the time we get there. We’ve […]

Manhattan is one of Woody Allen’s masterworks. It is Allen’s most beautiful film, and he managed that perfect mix of laughs, music and deep discussion. It was also a huge success for Allen.

5 Films (And A TV Show)… A new series where we recommend films referenced, inspired, influenced or generally like a certain Woody Allen film, from his first to his latest. All picks are subjective – let the arguments begin! Allen wrote and made A Midsummer Night’s Sex Comedy very quickly and very cheaply. Knowing that […]

The new edition comes from Twilight Time, who have already released several of Allen’s films. Zelig is due to be released on 12th July 2016. It […]
Woody Allen turns 80 on 1st December 2015. 80 years is a remarkable milestone. We thought about doing something big to celebrate. But Allen has grumbled all year about this day – and how it is like any other, how he will not be making a big deal of it, how there is no meaning […]
