[rec.arts.cinema] Manhattan

"Manhattan" by Woody Allen is one of, if not, my all-time favorite films.

I would like to invite comment on why this is a great movie, or why it isn't.
I know very little about film theory and I need some sleep badly. I think
that this film is great is because of the exquisite B&W cinematography, 
coupled with a great score. Of course I think that the story is great, but I
am somewhat biased towads Woody Allen films. 

There are a myriad of things which make this a great film IMO, but I would
like to hear something from film "theoroticians".

Comment on any of WA's films would be interesting to read. I have seen all
but 4 or 5 of his movies (the more obscure ones).
