7. Woody Allen And Diane Keaton
Films Together: Sleeper, Love and Death, Annie Hall, Interiors, Manhattan, Radio Days and Manhattan Murder Mystery. The two most famous women in Woody Allen's career are Mia Farrow and Diane Keaton, and whilst he made more movies with Farrow, his defining work he made with Keaton. Keaton is the perfect foil for Allen's cynical pessimism, as she lights up the screen with intelligence and charm. It's impossible to think of Annie Hall without her, Allen's script is one of the greatest ever written, but she understood its melancholic post-modernism, and she's become synonymous with the titular character of the movie. Woody Allen always got heaps of credit for his screenwriting, but a lot less for his directing, and his perfect direction of actors is vastly overlooked despite great performances always featuring in his movies. The chemistry Allen and Keaton had on screen obviously has much to do with their real life relationship, but after that ended, they worked much more sparingly with each other, though a reunion on Manhattan Murder Mystery was worth the wait. Together, Allen and Keaton made some of the sweetest, funniest movies to ever grace a cinema screen, and whilst both had grand success without each other, it's their time together that is most definitive.
