One classic Woody Allen film, returned on time: 4.60 euro.
One bus ride in the pouring rain: 1.40 euro.
Hearing the tall blond cashier, with his adorable, perfectly imperfect crooked nose say, “Ça va? Pas trop froid?” as I stand there soaking wet: Priceless.

And the Woody Allen was?

Annie Hall. Can you believe I had never seen it? SO GREAT. Makes me nostalgic for a New York I never knew.

How about those cameos!
Uh, hello? I forgot my mantra.

I TOTALLY KNOW! I was all, "Whaaaa? Was that Jeff Goldblum?" REWIND.
And can I just say it took me quite some time to realize that was Paul Simon. And Shelly Duval? You're in my peergroup, DDJ--do you remember those fairytale films she and her father produced?

"Fairy Tale Theater," right? On Showtime. Why aren't they on dvd yet? I totally loved them. Jennifer Beals as "Cinderella." I think Christopher Reeves was in "Sleeping Beauty."
Re: cameos. How about Carol Kane as the Communist Jewish intellectual first wife? And Sigourney Weaver at the bitter end of the film?

Absolutely! That series also had a huge number of famous people in it. It was like Hollywood was trying to get to us while we were young, with a steady diet of A-list actors and celebs.
There was also Mother Goose Rock 'n' Rhyme, which despite the fact that I was a 10-year-old boy, was one of my favorite movies of the time.
Nice call on bringing back that memory, Coquette.

We're all waiting for the fairytale theatre dvds?! How funny! I thought it was just my family!!
Co,
I just saw Annie Hall for the first time too. That was even Truman Capote!! Wild.

I just saw Barry Lyndon for the first time. My French correspondante's father, every time I visited over the ten years we exchanged, would always ask me the moment I arrived "tu n'as pas encore vu barry lyndon!!!???!!!" Now that I'm living here they felt the need to invite me over expressly to watch their DVD of it. I think he had scotland and ireland confused.
My favourite woody allen is Mighty Aphrodite. Highly recommend it.

I've never seen Annie Hall either. I must do that one day.

Off the subject...but my heart is beating so fast Coquette!
I just saw my blog in YOUR links- I am not worthy... does this mean fame, fortune and power (my sole mmotivation for starting a blog to begin with) are coming my way?
:)

I can't believe you all remember Fairie Tale Theatre (I feel like they spelled it all schmancy like that)! I love it too. "I am not a toad, I am a FROG! and fiercely proud of it."
