Woody Allen Sues Amazon Studios Claiming Breach of Contract
- planktonite 8y agoCheck out “match point” by woody Allen. It’s one of the best movies I’ve ever seen.
- Scramblejams 8y agoThen you should try its richer forerunner: Crimes & Misdemeanors
- wolfi1 8y agoI still like his "Love and Death"
- maroonblazer 8y ago"Love and Death" is fantastic. As are "Bananas", "Play It Again Sam" and "Manhattan".
- leephillips 8y agoWoody Allen is a comic genius, but I think my favorite movie of his still is his first one, "What's Up, Tiger Lilly." I rarely meet anyone who's seen it.
- planktonite 8y agoHave you seen the ghost writer?
- wellpast 8y agothat’s not Allen, it’s Polanski but it’s also great
- planktonite 8y agoI find it to be very similar to match point, and just as good. It’s a funny coincidence that both directors are who they are isn’t it?
- garyrob 8y agoCheck out Annie Hall! Very different from match point, and VERY funny
- throwaway415415 8y ago"Whatever works" is his best work imo.
- ajmurmann 8y agoSo happy to see this mentioned in several comments. I love the movie so much, but most people seem to dislike it for some reason.
- seizethecheese 8y agoSay what you will about Woody Allen as a person. My understanding is that Amazon is holding the rights to a movie that has been created, and refusing to publish it. Movies are not the product of a single person, but of thousands. It's tragedy to prevent this massive amount of effort from seeing the light of day.
- nathanvanfleet 8y agoBut Netflix owns it, and likely doesn't see it as a profitable thing to release it.
- myhf 8y agoActually copyright is given to producers to incentivize them to produce and disseminate creative works. If copyright law is not functioning as intended, we have a moral imperative to abolish it.
- simongr3dal 8y agoAs long as the compensation of any of the workers didn’t depend on the financial success of the movie does it really matter?
- maroonblazer 8y agoCompensation construed broadly includes future work based on your portfolio. If one did stellar work that otherwise would have yielded future opportunities had the work not been shuttered then the answer is "Yes."
- gamblor956 8y agoA movie doesn't need to be released for the crew to get credits.
- JetSpiegel 8y agoIt does to count as credits to the most important group: the audiences.
- thought_alarm 8y agoWhat are the most important Woody Allen movies? I'm thinking: 1977: Annie Hall 1979: Manhattan 1986: Hannah and Her Sisters 1989: Crimes and Misdemeanours 1992: Husbands and Wives 1993: Manhattan Murder Mystery 2005: Match Point 2008: Vicky Cristina Barcelona 2009: Whatever Works 2011: Midnight in Paris 2013: Blue Jasmin Have I missed anything?
- jeffwass 8y agoSleeper : 1973
- nbabitskiy 8y agoZelig.
- JetSpiegel 8y agoJust watch them all and forget about the duds. The SNR is still high enough the be worth it Radio Days is my personal favourite, but I haven't seen them all yet.
- gattilorenz 8y agoPlay it again Sam, The Purple Rose of Cairo
- dolphin1986 8y agoI think Stardust Memories is his best work.
