Annie Hall is a 1977 American comedy film directed by Woody Allen from a script co-written with Marshall Brickman. One of Allen's most popular films, it won numerous awards at the time of its release, including four Academy Awards and one for Best Picture, and in 2002 Roger Ebert referred to it as "just about everyone's favorite Woody Allen movie". Annie Hall was also the last comedy film to win the Academy Award for "Best Picture" until 1998's Shakespeare in Love.
Allen had previously been known as a maker of zany comedies; the director has describedAnnie Hall as "a major turning point", as it brought a new level of seriousness to his work. (wiki)
