Why was 1986 such a solid year? Aliens? The Green Ray? The Fly? Blue Velvet? The Sacrifice? Something Wild? She's Gotta Have It? Castle In The Sky? Top Gun (ahhh, not really...)? This?!

I don't know what it is about ...... this movie that fascinates me, maybe it's some magic. The story is great & the cast is absolutely brilliant in my opinion, especially Michael Caine & Diane Wiest, who both won an Academy Award for their performances in this movie, and also Barbary Hershey & Max von Sydow were amazing.

not my favorite Woody Allen film but still funny and enchanting. sometimes I grow tired of the broken marriage lets cheat on each other plot line. I ended up loving Diane Weist and him as a couple, though. he was hilarious but everyone else was quite depressing. still an interesting film though.

Woody's greatest achievement as a writer and as a filmmaker, featuring one of the best ensemble casts ever assembled on film.

No, I watched Hannie Caulder (Burt Kennedy 1971, 2/5 stars), a fairly entertaining exploitation film -- exactly like Karate Kid except w/ rape and rape flashbacks -- redeemed by one great line: "Like the man said, there aren't any hard women, only soft men." Welch is OK; she lacks tragic weight but gets to show off her bum, winkingly, in form-fitting leather pants. Who was the ghostly shooter at the end, Ben Kenobi?

One of the most intimate, revealing, human films I've ever had the pleasure of viewing. The intricate details of the lives of three sisters and their friends, family and partners is so delicately exposed and portrayed its heartbreaking. Performances are all so nuanced and the screenplay is so tight, dramatic and hilarious. The idea that life is meaningless is subtly weaved into the tale, most noticeably with Mickey's search for meaning, but more poignantly with the consequences and conclusions of the characters lives after being involved in such secrecy and lies. The film doesn't receive full marks from me due to the fact that sometimes it feels like therapy for Woody, but overlooking that factor, this is one of the most honest, moving films I've witnessed thus far.

The conclusion that Mickey comes to at the end of the film completley changed how I live my life. The only difficulty now is trying to explain it to other people...I suppose I could just get them to watch the movie. So yeah, I think it's fantastic.

My favorite Woody Allen film. Gigantic in scope and ambition... and yet ridiculously entertaining. I think it's his greatest accomplishment as a storyteller, with "Crimes and Misdemeanors" a close second.

I loved the ending, I thought it was very cute. Most of the times I don't like the endings. But, this movie was very interesting, each character's story. How Allen brings up the subject of religion(it's quite funny). I think all in all this picture is one of my favourite Allen picture.

Woody Allen had never patronized Mia Farrow more in a film then he did in Hannah And Her Sisters. For me, this film is much more interesting knowing what I know now about the demise of their relationship.

The dress and relationships seen a little dated in this one, but it's another Woody Allen film in which Dianne Wiest shines. I also particularly like the scene where Allen is sitting in a movie theater watching a Marx Brothers film.

One of the finest morsels of American cinema. If you are lucky enough to live in a town with a decent reperetory theater, do yourself a favor and catch a print when it comes to town. Carlo Di Palma's masterful cinematography pulls you right into the screen.
