Most divisive: Whatever Works
Over 900 Ranker voters have come together to rank this list of The Best Woody Allen Movies
The best Woody Allen movies of all time rank among some of the best movies of all time, so it's no surprise movie fans would want to debate which of his films deserves the title of greatest Woody Allen movie ever. While there are some talented directors who have stood behind the camera since the start of cinema, Woody Allen is far and away one of the best directors of all time due largely in part to his neurotic characters (perceived to be real to a fault), his strong female characters, and his own inclusion as an actor in a way that doesn't distract from the other actors (you hear that, Quentin?).
Of course, while many people in the older generation know Woody Allen for his comedies, newer movie watchers may know him equally for his dramas and for causing drama as one of the most scandalous celebs in Hollywood. Either way, the guy makes a heck of a movie.
Make sure to vote up your favorite Woody Allen movie and feel free to add any great Woody Allen movies that might have been left off the list.- 1Comedian Alvy Singer (Woody Allen) examines the rise and fall of his relationship with struggling nightclub singer Annie Hall (Diane Keaton).

58The Impostors is a 1998 farce motion picture directed, written and produced by Stanley Tucci, starring Oliver Platt, Tucci, Alfred Molina, Tony Shalhoub, Steve Buscemi, and Billy Connolly. The film, in which Oliver Platt and Stanley Tucci play a Laurel and Hardy-like odd couple of out-of work actors, is set in the depression-era 1930s; indeed, the retro style of the film is a recreation of '30s screwball comedy. The opening silent sequence harks back to the golden days of silent film. Although the plotting is light, the film is a warm-hearted and charming tribute to the early days of film comedy, fuelled by the eclectic mix of characters, who all turn out to be impostors of some kind; but the very diversity of the ensemble turns out to be the film's central point.

- 61Tex (Woody Allen) is a New Mexico butcher who murders his wife after he finds out about her infidelity. He hacks up her body into many parts, but forgets to bury her hand. When a blind woman trips over it and experiences a sudden vision, the hand is deemed a religious item and taken to the town church. Its discovery spawns a series of strange happenings, miraculous events and an investigation by a suspicious cop (Kiefer Sutherland), as Tex tries to evade the authorities.
