10 Amazing Improvised Movie Moments

2. Annie Hall - The Sneeze

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHTcjZzSlAM Easily one of the funniest moments in film history, this scene has Alvy (Woody Allen) and Annie (Diane Keaton) about to snort some cocaine after she complains that he never wants to try anything new. Cut to Alvy holding the container of coke, bringing it close to his face, and suddenly sneezing, sending white powder exploding into the air, probably giving the couple on his left a decent high nevertheless, while all Annie can do is collapse into her hands with embarrassment. The icing on the cake is that this was completely unplanned; Allen simply had an allergic reaction to the powder, and everyone managed to hold themselves together long enough that the take could be used in the final cut. Apparently, everyone was laughing so hard that the scripted trajectory of the scene was just abandoned, as Allen decided, quite rightly, that this happy accident was much better.
