In our next film we radically disrupt the rubric that limits our screenings to films made between 1930 and 1960 - the "Classic" Period - to mark the sad loss of Diane Keaton. We break our rules with a film that beat out Star Wars at the Oscars to win best picture. Annie Hall (1977) is an almost perfect film. It won 4 Oscars, four BAFTAs and, in compiling a list of the 101 Funniest Screenplays, was voted the funniest screenplay ever by the Writer's Guild of America. It is also a film which Diane Keaton virtually stole from Woody Allen by galvanising its narrative, its wardrobe and its title.
