Annie Hall
Date	Location
Two decades before Sex And The City had its first orgasm, Annie Hall was laying bare the mores of modern, urban romance to devastating effect while also zoning in on the specific psyche of Allen Konigsberg: anti-Semitic paranoia, metaphysical angst, the search for true love. There's a highly charged on-screen electricity between Allen and Keaton, glorious vistas of the old New York and hilarious set pieces – Alvy fighting with lobsters, the scene of his childhood home below the rollercoaster… View full details

Bananas
Date	Location
The lad's second feature centres on a neurotic, wimpy, Jewish New Yorker (guess who plays this part?) who gets caught up in a South American revolution. The plot is a somewhat flimsy vehicle for Woody's wonderful one-liners, but there's a degree of cynical commentary on political power struggles. View full details

The Coen brothers give their unique twist to a Chandler-esque LA noir, as 70s hippy throwback Jeff 'The Dude' Lebowski (Bridges) is drawn into the sordid affairs of his millionaire namesake.

The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou
Date	Location
Anderson's fourth film is part high seas adventure, part film industry satire, part existential meditation on the meaning of relationships. It is consistently clever and hilarious, shifting from the light-hearted to the surreal, to scenes of real depth with the kind of ease we've come to expect from the Texan director. Bill Murray heads an eccentric, often brilliant cast, as ageing oceanographer and filmmaker Steve Zissou. No one likes his films any more and his life is falling apart around… View full details
31 May 9pm	Cameo, Edinburgh

12 Jul 8.50pm Featuring an introduction by Chris Fujiwara, Artistic Director of the Edinburgh International Film Festival.	Filmhouse, Edinburgh

Zelig
Date	Location
Allen's trickery with photography, which places 'human chameleon' Leonard Zelig at the heart of key scenes in the 20th century, is imaginative and funny; but behind it lies an affecting story about a nobody who'll go to desperate lengths to be liked. The mock-doc feel and use of music are perfect. View full details
