"[Allen] is not much more than an ordinary screenwriter".
The fact that Mr. Allen is commonly considered one of the most brilliant screenwriters ever does not necessarily render your statement invalid. However, have you ever seen Annie Hall, Manhattan, Zelig or Crimes and Misdemeanors? If yes, then I must say that your claim is one of the most ... amazing ... remarks I ever came accross. No offense meant.

No offense taken.
I admit to not having a thorough knowledge of Allen's work. I have seen none of the movies you listed. Perhaps I should make a side note that my experience with him is limited. However, according to the five or so Allen movies I have seen, I am not impressed with his directing nor with his screenwriting.
As for Annie Hall, one day I will no doubt see it, but for some time now I have obstinately refused due to a certain gross injustice in the Academy dating from that year.
And no, I do not need to see it to know that it was not the best movie of that particular year. God told me.
