    That might be the biggest load of bullshit I've read on this site. As you're well aware, that's really saying something. Just know that I say that with the best possible intentions.

Eventually, the actors came to grips with enjoying their era for what it was. It was a romantic comedy but it addressed the concept of nostalgia that interests me.
      Close. The actor pined for Paris in the twenties and the person he met in the twenties pined for Paris during La Belle Epoque. It was on the actor that came to grips with his own era (thanks to him seeing the same perceptions through the eyes of the person he was with) as he realized the effect of nostalgia on his perceptions.

      Midnight in Paris. I've seen if half a dozen times and still love it everytime.

        I hate woody allen movies. Classic case of everyone pretending to like something so that they can appear sophisticated.

          I am 34, and I've never seen a Woody Allen movie. I cannot speak for the direct experience of anyone else my age, but I do know that Woody Allen movies have never been discussed by anyone close to my age in my company. He simply is not compelling to my generation, aside from marrying his daughter.

                Annie Hall is hilarious. What's up Tiger Lily is hilarious. Take the Money and Run is funny. Radio Days is good. Midnight in Paris is really good.

                Woody Allen is like Spike Lee.....seems to make so many movies that it is easy to forget that some of them are actually pretty good.

                  lol.

                  I really liked this one (Midnight in Paris).

                    Not a "big" Woody Allen fan. but I do like some of his movies quite a bit. I rarely sit around and discuss any directors with my friends. In fact, maybe never.

                      This is an accurate statement. One is not obligated to like him, but some of his stuff is actually good. I liked Midnight in Paris.

                        If you like his films at all, if you've even seen his films, you're the biggest Woody Allen fan I've ever heard of under age 40. (I presume you are under age 40.)

                        Maybe I travel in less sophisticated circles.

                            Midnight in Paris did very well recently. Lots of people under 40 have seen it.

                              This is a good analogy.

                              I actually saw Midnight in Paris with ER Coug. It was okay, but mostly because Woody wasn't actually in this movie and ER Coug has a nice setup for watching movies.

                                Midnight in Paris with a dude?

                                ER was trying to put the moves on you and you didn't even know it.
