50 Woody Allen Films - Ranked From Worst to Best

Jordan Hoffman wrote an article last month in Film.Com called Ranked: All 50 Woody Allen Films From Worst to Best.

Allen has directed forty-five feature films, and written fifty-three. I'll leave it to Hoffman to explain how he came up with this list of fifty.

I haven't seen all fifty movies, so there's a limit to what I can say. However, I was disappointed to find Bullets Over Broadway listed as low as #25. Annie Hall at #1 was no surprise, though Stardust Memories at #3 and Love and Death at #6 certainly were. 


Annie Hall (1977)
