5. Bananas
Remember when Woody Allen's movies used to be funny? It's a question that's posed increasingly often recently, and while it's perhaps a little unfair to suggest that he's done nothing of worth for some time, by the same token few Allen movies from the last decade or two have lived up to the work he did in his early years. Bananas might not be a perfect example of Woody Allen's greatest early work, but, as a screwball-esque comedy with an anarchic undercurrent, it's still a thoroughly entertaining watch. Allen plays a New Yorker (what else?) who travels to Latin America to get involved in a rebellion after being dumped by his girlfriend. Bananas might be rambling and episodic, but this is exactly why it works so effectively - a coherent plot probably wouldn't make sense in the context of a satire about the absurdity of political rebellion. The resulting onslaught of jokes and gags might be messy but it's certainly entertaining, too.
