Manhattan
a film that has no right to still work, yet it does.allen is at his most dishonest and his most honest simultaneously, like a man who hides behind wit and accidentally tells the truth anyway.
the trick is being able to self-ridicule.there are two kinds of people watching Manhattan:the dishonest ones, high on the endorphins of getting the references, mistaking name-dropping for depth,and the honest ones, who enjoy the movie because it quietly mocks that entire way of speaking. including theirs.
