Malin Akerman recommended Annie Hall (1977) in Movies (curated)

Annie Hall (1977)
1977 | Comedy, Romance

"Love Annie Hall. Everything is so random in his films but it’s also so grounded, and it’s so nice to watch. I like when you watch a film and you feel like you’re a part of somebody’s life for an hour and a half. It feels all improvisational, but it’s interesting, it moves along and it has a good story. And it’s just nice to see those people, because there are, you know, mistakes, which becomes the magic of the film."

1984 | Action, Comedy, Mystery

"Eddie Murphy was so appropriate. Comedy is the magic of learning to be appropriate. In terms of his performance, he was so damn appropriate. He knew when to play what, and he let the situation lead him into being broad. Because of the situation, he did what he had to do, he was Bugs Bunny talking his way out of situations. That for me is another movie that I would like to do, it made me say, “Damn, I wanna do that.”"

Book Favorite

"This is, without a doubt, one of the greatest books about making movies. Gottlieb, who wrote the screenplay for Jaws, gives a day-to-day account of the process of making the film, from choosing the location to building the shark … or rather, sharks! You get to see the magic—and madness—of moviemaking, from the crazy shoot to the blockbuster hit. If you have ever had a fascination with how movies are made, why not learn it from the best?"

Oh these boots were definitely made for walking!
As a huge fan of the film and musicals in general, this had a lot to live up to. But I was happy. It was so very well done and captured the humor and magic of the film.
Was I sad they did not sing "these boots were made for walking" or the medaly at the end of the film? Yes. But it was still brilliant. A great musical experience.
