* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: "You mean that my whole fallacy is wrong!"

If this scene is any indication, Allison was a bit of a snarker herself:

* YourCostumeNeedsWork: Played with. Winner of the TrumanCapote look-a-like contest is... Truman Capote.

AFI ranked the film #31 (1998) & #35 (2007) on its "Best" list, #4 on its "Laughs", #11 among its "Passions", #90 of "Songs", and #55 of "Quotes".

* AllMenArePerverts / AllWomenArePrudes:

* UncomfortableElevatorMoment: Remember Duane's speech about intentially crashing his car into another head-on? Guess who is driving a relaxed Annie and a terrified, wary Alvy to the airport? At night? ''In the rain?'' '''''With a car passing by in the opposite lane?'''''

* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Annie. Played straight, then [[SubvertedTrope subverted.]]

''Annie Hall'' (1977) is an American romantic comedy film directed by Creator/WoodyAllen from a script co-written with Marshall Brickman. One of Allen's most popular films, it won numerous awards at the time of its release, including four AcademyAwards, and in 2002 Creator/RogerEbert referred to it as "just about everyone's favorite Woody Allen movie".

* GodwinsLaw: "What's with all these awards? They're always giving out awards! Best Fascist Dictator: AdolfHitler!"

* ActorAllusion: One of the actors playing the autograph hounds (Rick Petruccelli) had a very small role in ''Film/TheGodfather''.

* AllStarCast: Look at the poster.

* ActorAllusion: Annie arrives to meet Alvy while a group of stereotypical Italian-Americans are hounding him for autographs. He immediately describes them to her as "the cast of ''Film/TheGodfather''" - the movie that arguably ''made'' Diane Keaton's career.
** Also one of the actors playing the autograph hounds (Rick Petruccelli) had a very small role in ''Film/TheGodfather''.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: Alvy does this multiple times throughout the film where he directly addresses the audience about the situations that he finds himself in.

* LeaveTheCameraRunning: The rare positive example. As noted by RogerEbert:

-->Bordwell tells me ''Annie Hall'' has an ASL (average scene length) of 14.5 seconds (he says other 1977 films he clocked had an ASL of from 4 to 7 seconds). By comparison, the recent film ''Film/{{Armageddon}}'' has an ASL of 2.3 seconds, a velocity that arguably makes intelligent dialogue impossible.

-->'''Alvy:''' [[CunningLinguist It's okay. I'm just starting to get some feeling back in my jaw now.]]

-->'''Alvy:''' [[CunningLinguist It's okay I'm just starting to get some feeling back in my jaw.]]

:: This, however, is turned around when Alvy shares another joke at the very end of the film (See the page quote, at the top of the page) and rationalizes that he has a reason to endure all of the absurdity and suffering "because he needs the eggs". The theme is also exemplified through Dr. Flicker's viewpoint in his talk with young Alvy and his mother, when young Alvy had concluded that nothing is important because the the universe is expanding and everything in existence will fall apart.
--> '''Dr. Flicker:''' It won't be expanding for billions of years yet, Alvy. And we've gotta try to enjoy ourselves while we're here!

* BlackComedyRape: "My grammy never gave gifts. She was too busy getting raped by Cossacks."
