An old movie, but I'd never seen it until now- Manhattan by Woody Allen. I never felt like watching a Woody Allen movie before. Growing up he was just one of the people my parents thought was hilarious, but just seemed boring and old to me. Then the whole Mia Farrow thing went down and he seemed like a creep. Since then I'd read stuff dwritten for the New Yorker and it's really great, hilarious stuff, but still never watched his films.
Anyway, I thought Manhattan was fantastic. Great writing, great casting, great acting. The black and white totally works, especially with the shots of NYC. I was surprised at how entertained I was by it. Just a really good movie.
