STAR WARS vs. ANNIE HALL. This is like torture.
on 7/13/2009
Remember when they were both up for Best Picture in '77? Who am I kidding... I wasn't alive yet. As much as I love "Star Wars", "Annie Hall" is one of those movies I can watch at any moment and fall in love with. It won the Oscar and in this particular case I think the right choice was made. But "Star Wars" is about a perfect as entertainment can possibly be.

And the Oscar should have gone to... Star Wars, though I love Annie Hall

I still hate the Oscars for not giving Best Picture to Star Wars.

I'm sorry, whenever I watch Star Wars again, it's very much not the film I remember. It's actually very poorly written, and the acting is pretty bad. Annie Hall took the romantic comedy genre and blew it apart in a way that was endearing and entertaining.

Why is it always Star Wars vs ..... I still can't stand this movie: I really try but i just find it dull, vacuous, poorly scripted and badly acted.

Star Wars. I love Annie Hall, but it's Star Wars.

I can forgive the academy for giving the Oscar to Annie Hall, but i can't forget.

I guess it just comes down to what kind of movie you like more. I enjoy Science Fiction and I love Star Wars but there is something about a masterful comedy like Annie Hall that really brings me a lot of joy.

I give an ever so slight edge to Annie Hall. This was a hard decision.

Star Wars got ROBBED of the Best Picture in '77. Annie Hall may have been one of Woody Allen's best works but Star Wars changed the face of cinema. It reemerged the use of mythos in storytelling and created a new medium (Sci-Fi Fantasy). Not only that, it made the biggest revamp in film technologies since Citizen Kane. Annie Hall may be a great film, but to win best picture against a movie that hit cinema harder than anything in the latter half of the century? Ridiculous. I lose faith in the academy during these times.

Star Wars is a cookie, but it's like the best cookie you ever had. Annie Hall is a salad, but it's the best salad you ever had and it's still good for you. Tough call, but I choose substance over style.

Star Wars may have been more influential, but I rate movies on how much I enjoyed them, and I enjoyed Annie Hall way more. Definitely one of the best romantic comedies ever made.

As much as Star Wars was a cinema game changer, so was Annie Hall, the forebearer of the modern romcoms. And honestly, Woody Allen is far more consistent and an unequivocal cinematic treasure compared to George Lucas, who didn't even direct the best Star Wars film. Annie Hall all the way!

Interesting. I never really thought of Annie Hall as "the forebearer of the modern romcoms". I suppose it has to accept responsibility for a lot of the utter shit that's been produced over the years. I dunno about Annie Hall having any substance though...

Stars Wars should have won obviously not only by its cultural and inspiring influence around the world but to spectacular and memorable mythology of his story. The screenplay is excellent and it made feel, it aroused admiration, enthusiasm and poignant emotion. Star Wars should be considered as a whole. It is a masterpiece. Those who judge objectively a literary work, a film or a pictorial work are misguided. Art is subjective. Star Wars made me experienced the illusion, the magic of cinema and a fantastic prospect of his universe. The cohesion of the framework and the acting skills necessary for its completion has been crucial. Annie Hall made me such a good time but did not reach me emotionally like star wars. In addition, the production of Annie Hall, the script is facilitated by its relatively simple plot that tells a romantic human experience passed through the vicissitudes of a normal life. However, the writing, the composition of Star Wars was not easy and was a product of pure genius. The grandiose and sensational of his frame that tells a fantasy world unknown is hardly comparable. Goerge Lucas has sometimes been compared to Jules Verne who, like him, will see his work, his odyssey through the centuries. Annie Hall will be quickly forgotten.
Star Wars wins, not much of a fan of Woody Allen.

I can't stand all the star wars fanboys (Something I used to be) complaining about Star Wars losing to Annie Hall. Star Wars is a good film, but it has NOTHING on Annie Hall.
