Love "Annie Hall" and this is just about my favorite scene in the film! "You know nothing of my work" - "How you got to teach a course in anything is totally amazing". Awesome!
When I was very small, I was in the airport in Miami and my older brother recognized Woody Allen. He told me to go over and ask him for his autograph. So, I did, even though I had no idea who Woody Allen even was. Woody signed the back of the Charlie Brown book that I had. I really didn't know until years later that he was a famous comedian/filmmaker/writer.
Hey Mr. Gittes!! You come from another '70s Masterpiece (maybe THE Best American film of all time, both with "Citizen Kane", "A Space Odyssey" & "Apocalypse Now")!! ....So, how did you enter here?? :-p "Boy, if life were only like this"!!!!
You're absolutely right! In fact, Seth MacFarlane has done several random sketches over the years that either directly or indirectly reference Woody Allen films. One of the more noticeable and recurring ones is the character "Mort," who is the epitome of the Woody Allen character
Honest to god, there are beatdowns, hellish beatdowns, the kind of beatdowns Cain Velasquez puts on people and then this. Pulling out the actual author to debunk the bullshit is such pure genius as to be trancedental. Surprised no one has done the exact same fouth-wall break since.
On this day in 1977 {April 20th} the Woody Allen movie "Annie Hall" opened nationwide in the U.S.A. and across Canada... The film was first shown a month earlier at the 'Los Angeles Film Festival'... It was nominated for five Academy Awards, winning four; 'Best Picture', 'Best Actress' {Diane Keaton}, 'Best Director' {Mr. Allen}, and 'Best Screenplay'... The one it didn't win was for 'Best Actor' {Mr. Allen}... Mr. Allen celebrated his 77th birthday this past December 1st...
I love this scene! one reason being I had a teacher at university who was just like the guy in this scene and he also loved quoting McLuhan. He also loved trashing any film work that wasn't to his personal taste. There were so many days I'd sit in class rolling my eyes and thinking if only I could what Woody Allen did here!
I love Annie Hall and Diane Keaton. It's so amazing how Allen writes characters who respond to him, positive and negative, and everyone loves the other characters more than they love him. It's genius.
It would be amazing to be able to play this scene in real life, with most of the Phd's and Mba's who think that they know "everything" about movie making and what audiences need.....
Just saw the DVD of Scoop - Woody is still coming out with those great lines, AND his pictures don't leave that trying-too-hard-to-be-great after taste. (He doesn't try too hard.) Long live the Wood!
thats funny because just watching this clip i noticed i adored what diane was wearing! she dresses exactly like i do, i love layers and men's clothing and patterns and scarves!
Woody Allen has spoken to the point of 'the value & integrity of humor many times. He has disgarded the primacy of such a notion with his outlook of nihilism and existential humor... but don't forget to add a dash of the hopeless romantic ~ life needs a little spice after all ;) S3: Do you like physical humor? ... Do you like repetition of theme... as in Jewish humor? BTW: It's ok if you don't.... but many of us in the world do.... that's (part of) why early Allen humor was so popular.
@staphinfection annie hall is a great film in its own right (one of the quissential comedies and deserved the best picture oscar) you can't honestly say A New Hope is anything less than extraordinary and can't be judged by the inevitable prequels it spawned.
I challenge any of you that instead of criticizing someone or something that you dislike so much that you find this person or thing in person and see it for yourself on an intimate level. I guarantee you that your demeanor and attitude will change. Again, I think the internet is a great thing for science and information in business. But for people it's a train crash because people aren't very rational and attack eachother too easily. Put it away. Explore the real thing for a change.
I love how the guy looks to the audience first as Woody walks off screen in shock and then is out of the frame as the camera sticks with Woody! This third wall break reminds me of The Purple Rose of Cairo. It's so funny you can almost do an ENTIRE movie on it!
I've lost count of the times I have watched this movie. I wished Woody wouldn't destroy every piece of film that is not up the screen, but that is just the way he is. I do have two still shots that weren't in the movie and I could only imagine what was going through his mind when those missing scenes were filmed and then incinerated.
@agneumeyer Wow. What a relief that worked out this time. Actually something similar happened to me once in the 90s...I was going on and on about SNL was going down hill in a bar and someone managed to produce Jim Brewer on the spot. Pretty funny...the booze cushioned the blow nicely.
It was not just that Alvy was angry about the smartass; the smartass's girlfriend was also angry about what Annie told Alvy, thinking that it might spoil her.
I love star wars. It was an amazing achievement that moved special effects forward 20 years and created the modern big budget herioc film as we know it. But I agree Annie Hall was the better film in every other way. (Slightly scared someone will say I don't know anything and that I have George Lucas/Woody Allen right here.)
I think you're right; she does look like she's about to corpse. Given that this scene is a single shot and full of complicated dialogue, the risk of blowing it had to be pretty great. (I bet they looped the dialogue just to get the levels right, though.)
If real life were like this very few teachers would be left. Now things are worse in terms of we hear peoples' chatter much more due to cell phone culture.

Anyone who has taken a shitty film class can relate to this
Hey Mr. Gittes!! You come from another '70s Masterpiece (maybe THE Best American film of all time, both with "Citizen Kane", "A Space Odyssey" & "Apocalypse Now")!!
....So, how did you enter here?? :-p
"Boy, if life were only like this"!!!!
Movies don't get much better than Annie Hall.
Outstanding - many thanks
Keith Olbermann picked up on it last night. He called a "Marshall McLuhan 'Annie Hall' moment".
GOLDEN. Absolutely GOLDEN.
I love this! It actually happened to me once!
"you know nothing of my work" - such a good bit, my parents have quoted that line all my life...
I need to see this movie again
You're absolutely right! In fact, Seth MacFarlane has done several random sketches over the years that either directly or indirectly reference Woody Allen films. One of the more noticeable and recurring ones is the character "Mort," who is the epitome of the Woody Allen character
A brilliant film.
If only life were like this. Classic line. And so true! :)
AWESOME, i was looking for that
One of the most satisfying moments in movies.
ALLTIME Great Scene ...Bravo !
If there were to be any movie to beat star wars for best picture, it wold be this one. And as a avid star wars fan, I'm not even mad about it loosing
"You mean my whole fallacy is wrong?" Best line ever.
Honest to god, there are beatdowns, hellish beatdowns, the kind of beatdowns Cain Velasquez puts on people and then this.

awesome scene
Do you folks realize how much this discussion resembles the clip we just saw? Oh, great, now you've got me doing it.
I love this scene! one reason being I had a teacher at university who was just like the guy in this scene and he also loved quoting McLuhan. He also loved trashing any film work that wasn't to his personal taste. There were so many days I'd sit in class rolling my eyes and thinking if only I could what Woody Allen did here!

Go Woody! I love him!
It would be amazing to be able to play this scene in real life, with most of the Phd's and Mba's who think that they know "everything" about movie making and what audiences need.....
"Boy,if only life here were like this"......IF movies were only as half as good, mr allen!!!
I so love this scene.
"I'd like to hit this guy on a gut level." :)
One of many ingenious scenes from Woody's filmography. I love this movie so much!
one of the best if not the best!
Diane & Woody rules!
PS. I wish I had a copy of this.
Love and Death remains my favorite Allen film, but the punch line to this scene still cracks me up every time.
I love this scene.
The greatest, funiest and most memorable scene in film history!
Just saw the DVD of Scoop - Woody is still coming out with those great lines, AND his pictures don't leave that trying-too-hard-to-be-great after taste. (He doesn't try too hard.) Long live the Wood!
"Boy, if life were only like this." XD
Just wanted to add that this scene was filmed at the Old Beekman Theater on Second Avenue, which closed in 2005.
Great scene. All one long take too.
"What I wouldn't give for a large sock filled with horse manure." Hahaha! I can't say how often I've felt that way!
The funniest scene in the movie. "You know nothing about my work"
Boy, if life were only like this...
i miss the days i never even experienced...
thats funny because just watching this clip i noticed i adored what diane was wearing! she dresses exactly like i do, i love layers and men's clothing and patterns and scarves!
"You know nothing of my work" this one of the funniest moments ever in movies.
awesome.
Such an excellent scene. Oh god. XD indulgent.
"If only life were like this."
For once Woody, I have to agree with you.
Yes, if only Woody, if only.
Greatest film scene ever (imo) - Sums everything up, esp the last line
Brilliant.
Put me in Woody's clothes and my husband in Diane's...and this is any scene from my waiting in line to enter a theatre.
My sexual problem? I never read that. That was Henry James, right? The sequel to Turn of the Screw?
Dying Hahahahahahaha soooooooo good.
I'd forgotten what an art form kvetching became in Allen's hands.
Awesome.
perfection
Brilliant scene. "If life were only like this" LOL I wish!
boy,if life was only like that!!
reminds me of internet battles where people suddenly have all these degrees that make their arguments valid. hah.

As a filmmaker and film fan this is one of my favorite scenes of all time! Check out our Woody Allen video too!
Haha awesome I should watch this movie sometime
the last 20 seconds had me rofl
"Boy, if life were only like this".
I've lost count of the times I have watched this movie. I wished Woody wouldn't destroy every piece of film that is not up the screen, but that is just the way he is. I do have two still shots that weren't in the movie and I could only imagine what was going through his mind when those missing scenes were filmed and then incinerated.
Ha! You can kind of see Diane Keaton crack up a little when Woody comes out with that 'sock/horse manure' line.
Why does every individual in every God Damn Woody Allen movie talk exactly like Woody Allen?
Sequel to turn of the skrew. Fantastic.
I finally get that Family guy reference when Neptune walks out and tells Peter he knows nothing about his work
woody i love uuuuuuuuu
I'm working in a cinema where they're showing Midnight in Paris. Honestly, every other person who goes to see it has been this guy.
Woody rocks! I die everytime I watch this!
Wooooooooody!
Woooooodyyyyyyyyy!
the "marshall mcluhan" scene-great, like the whole film.
@agneumeyer Wow. What a relief that worked out this time. Actually something similar happened to me once in the 90s...I was going on and on about SNL was going down hill in a bar and someone managed to produce Jim Brewer on the spot. Pretty funny...the booze cushioned the blow nicely.
If I get to choose who I get to be in the next life, it would be Woody. What a genius of film making.
@whothehellgivesadamn That is why it is awesome that they watch this movie, so that they can go find out who he is and learn about his work.
LMAO, it gets me every time.
LOL...great last line
I've been waiting for something above mediocre, and this is pretty well done.
Good thing people forgot about you a long time ago.
"Boy, I'd like to hit this guy on a 'gut level'"
I feel like that about a lot of critics. ;)
One of the FUNNIEST film scenes ever.
my life
i think ive experienced this once. at the Nuart in Santa Monica
1:58 to 2:23 - Every internet argument ever.
Just type in 'Annie Hall ending' - it's the long shot where Alvy introduces her to Annie as his date, you can't really tell it's her.
This reminds me of the McLuhan essay I had to write last semester. Fuck that.
that part.
"You mean my whole fallacy is wrong"
It was not just that Alvy was angry about the smartass; the smartass's girlfriend was also angry about what Annie told Alvy, thinking that it might spoil her.

man, i was behind the point of no return of hoping for intelligence and wit in youtube comments, but there you go
"I heard what you were saying. You know nothing of my work." rofl
Woody Allen is pretty much playing George Costanza.
"My whole fallacy is wrong"
hahaha
