A critic never forgets ''Annie Hall''
In 1977, Woody Allen's Annie Hall was hailed as a milestone; it went on to win four Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actress. In the 15 years since, we've discovered that some critics can't help but hark back to Annie whenever Allen releases a new film. See if you can match each film with its reviewer's blurb.
