The Films: Broadway Danny Rose, The Purple Rose of Cairo, Hannah and Her Sisters, Radio Days Regardless of how we all may feel about Woody Allen as a human being (and it's probably fair to say that the mere mention of his name makes the majority of audiences feel like they need to take a shower to get rid of the ickiness), the man has made some fantastic films. Unfortunately, he's been in a bit of a slump. In fact, over the past twenty years, in terms of really solid films he only has Blue Jasmine and Vicky Cristina Barcelona. But back in the day (and by the day, we mean the mid 80s), he was at his creative peak. Between 1984 and 1987, you've got Broadway Danny Rose, The Purple Rose of Cairo, Hannah and Her Sisters, and Radio Days. All are great films with an intimate look at a by-gone era. Allen is at his best writing with a somewhat autobiographical flair, as seen in most of these movies. The films that came before this set were a bit too purposefully quirky, and the ones that came after were caught up in trying to capture the glory of his most successful films. But this period in Allen's career strikes an almost perfect chord with audiences, and any director would be proud to have it to their name.
