Annie Hall (1977)

Woody Allen is among the most influential Jewish comedian-filmmakers of the twentieth century. The film opens with Alvy Singer (Allen) addressing the camera directly, immediately establishing the kvetching architecture of a Jewish complaint: the joke, the self-awareness, the inability to stop, and the awareness of the inability to stop.
