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.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Date Location

Manhattan
Date Location
A slight, urban, amoral romantic comedy about one divorcee's attempt to find love with his best friend's mistress (Keaton). Its timelessness is owed to Gordon Willis' gorgeous black and white photography, Gershwin's 'Rhapsody in Blue', knowing borrowings from other film masters and much, much more. The film has certainly dated, but remains the romantic comedy of this or any year and Allen's one true masterpiece.
