you never saw "The Ben Stiller Show" sketch comedy back on Fox in the early 90s?

Yes I did. I consider most of SNL's cast comic actors too.
Just semantics, I guess.

:rolleyes: wow no I didn't recognize him. Actually I don't think I ever seen a Woody Allen movie. For the record I do know who he is :cool:

Just playing with you...

Your best bets for a 1st Woody movie would be Love and Death, Zelig or Sleeper if you're looking for something silly. If you're ready for more mature, sophisticated, dialogue-filled films, go for Annie Hall, Manhattan, Mighty Aphrodite, Everyone says I Love You, Deconstructing Harry

The Schlemiel as Modern Philosopher
Love him or despise him, Woody Allen is an American-Jewish filmmaking legend.
By David Desser and Lester D. Friedman
The following article looks at the early career of the writer-director-actor Woody Allen and traces his growing reliance on Jewish humor, which would reach its full expression later in his career. Reprinted with permission from American-Jewish Filmmakers: Traditions and Trends (University of Illinois Press).



Woody Allen's career represents a virtual case history in coming to terms with tradition, with the search for an appropriate personal model of artistic creation sifted through a set of circumstances characteristic of a large portion of American Jewry. His films par*ticipate in the stream of American-Jewish art and literature that uses the structure of the bildungsroman [a style of novel focusing on the main character's personal development] to examine the emerging, maturing self and its relation to the world. His films, further, rely heavily upon the classic characteristics of Jewish humor and target aspects of popular culture.

Allen's cinema, however, participates little in the search for social justice, a point for which he has been criticized, most often by Jewish critics. Instead, he reaches beyond the moment for larger social and religious truths. In this respect, Allen's cinema draws as much on other traditions as on Jewish ones, particularly relying upon the tradition of European art cinema exemplified for Allen, as for most audi*ences, by Bergman and Fellini.
