...Peace Games and Harmony and Chance through PBHA. They helped in that they gave me faith in my ability to interact with lots of different people. I did the PeaceGames at the King School with a lot of hard-ass eighth-graders. But I also taught a sweet, silent girl the violin at the Tobin School.

For those that fall into the first category, below is a list of five interesting but less-discussed Allen films that show both the range of his work and the consistent originality of his career (if youre new to Allen fandom, by all means start with Annie Hall). These titles have mostly fallen...
...follows a Depression-era housewife (Mia Farrow) who goes to the pictures for escapism and one day finds that her favorite movie character (Jeff Daniels) has somehow escaped from the screen and into her life. The movie gets unexpected poignancy out of its superb comic setup and shares with Sweet and Lowdown Allens talent for recreating...
