A silly classic. If you’re looking for Woody’s oft-mentioned “early, funny” flicks, start here.

It’s a fun movie with a great soundtrack but it can be a bit much at times and definitely didn’t age super well

Like​ all the early Allen's movies, it's eternally funny.

While not being a fan of Woody Allen, I do have to say that this strange little satire is pretty amusing.

I thought this was hilarious 30 years ago, but the sexual content has aged poorly and more than half of what's left is almost too dumb.

Bananas is a comedic delight, Woody Allen's wit shines. Hilarious and absurd, a classic that keeps you laughing from start to finish.

Emblematic of the time period in which it was filled

Funny at times but mostly feels like filler from Woody Allen.

It’s one of those goofy Allen’s movies, but if you’re into it you will laugh a lot.

Funny satire. Not the most engaging story.

Love and Death
In czarist Russia, a neurotic soldier and his distant cousin formulate a plot to assassinate Napoleon.
Mighty Aphrodite
When Lenny and his wife, Amanda, adopt a baby, Lenny realizes that his son is a genius and becomes obsessed with finding the boy's biological mother in hopes that she will be brilliant too. But when he learns that Max's mother is Linda Ash, a kindhearted prostitute and porn star, Lenny is determined to reform her immoral lifestyle. A Greek chorus chimes in to relate the plot to Greek mythology in this quirky comedy.
Deconstructing Harry
Writer Harry Block draws inspiration from people he knows, and from events that happened to him, sometimes causing these people to become alienated from him as a result.
Zelig
Fictional documentary about the life of human chameleon Leonard Zelig, a man who becomes a celebrity in the 1920s due to his ability to look and act like whoever is around him. Clever editing places Zelig in real newsreel footage of Woodrow Wilson, Babe Ruth, and others.
Stardust Memories
While attending a retrospect of his work, a filmmaker recalls his life and his loves: the inspirations for his films.
Hannah and Her Sisters
Between two Thanksgivings, Hannah's husband falls in love with her sister Lee, while her hypochondriac ex-husband rekindles his relationship with her sister Holly.
Crimes and Misdemeanors
A renowned ophthalmologist is desperate to cut off an adulterous relationship…which ends up in murder; and a frustrated documentary filmmaker woos an attractive television producer while making a film about her insufferably self-centered boss.
Radio Days
The Narrator tells us how the radio influenced his childhood in the days before TV. In the New York City of the late 1930s to the New Year's Eve 1944, this coming-of-age tale mixes the narrator's experiences with contemporary anecdotes and urban legends of the radio stars.
