SS,
When I wanted to watch the best of the best of Hollywood films few years back, I searched and searched and end up with this link.
http://www.filmsite.org/momentsindx.html
This link serves me a reference. I was skeptical initially, but after watching a few from their list, then I started collecting them. Very authentic list atleast for me. Now I have 80% of these films in my collection.
Every one is a must watch. You would see the last best film was made in 1977 (
) according to this list and my very favorite, 'One Flew Over Cuckoos' Nest
' (1975).

Please also find 50 greatest directors of all time, and Woody is right up there. This site is a treasure and it has lot of information, reviews, used to be my favorite pass time during weekends.

Plot based-a venumna i would recommend you to start with Match Point, Cassandra's Dream, Nerd sonna MMM, Crimes and Misdemeanors
[let me know your preference between MP and CAM]
Deconstructing Harry enakku remba pidikkin. Hilarious and very high repeat value. Annie Hall irukkave irukku.
Idhellam mudichittu matra "relationship" films/comedies ku vaanga
Blade/can't get through - Alice, Everyone Says I Love You, Stardust Memories (pala thadava try panni full-a paakka pidikkala)

SS, I say start from beginning. When he was making pure comedy/spoofs, and slowly transforming into serious filmaker (not without those obvious European influence).

But it got me thinking. Around this time, he had to go through domestic-turmoil indicted slander, every tabloid press made him out to be a vile, disgusting person. That Woody pulled his hand out of his ___ & stretched himself..
a) R*ted expletives
b) Black people in prominent roles (but then casting the black woman as sexual worker wouldn't get Spike Lee excited.)

Also, try reading this. Sorry if its a repost, but Queenan became my fav writer also for "my sentiments exactly" reason.

I don't really take Queenan seriously in terms of film criticism, but he really earns his dough when he slams an easy target like Woody.
Trivia for Mann enthusiasts. The actress who plays the hooker in DH also appears (very briefly) as mother of the black hooker no.98456779543 in Hollywood(who gets killed by the murderous redneck), in "Heat".
