Woody Allen filmography

Feeling that his New Yorker humor clashed with director Clive Donner's British sensibility, he decided to direct all future films from his own material.

Allen's directorial debut, the 1966 film What's Up, Tiger Lily?, was a dramatic Japanese spy movie re-dubbed in English with completely new, comedic dialog.

He continued to write, direct, and star in comedic slapstick films such as Take the Money and Run (1969), Bananas (1971) and Sleeper (1973), before finding widespread critical acclaim for his romantic comedies Annie Hall (1977) and Manhattan (1979); he won Academy Awards for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay for the former.

Despite being influenced by European art cinema and venturing into more dramatic territory, with Interiors (1978) and Another Woman (1988) being prime examples of this transition, he continued to direct several comedies.

The films he directed by ABC Pictures are now property of American Broadcasting Company, who in turn licensed their home video rights to MGM.
