"Utterly hilarious, yet it rings absolutely true. A true, and rare, must-see." - FILMCRITIC.COM

“The inmates are taking over the asylum,” sneered a crusty studio head when Hollywood titans Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin and D.W. Griffith formed United Artists in 1918. Evolving into the first “studio without a studio,” thus eschewing crushing overhead expenses, UA would eventually forge partnerships with such independently-minded filmmakers as Buster Keaton, Billy Wilder, Stanley Kubrick, Woody Allen, Robert Altman, John Huston, Richard Lester, John Schlesinger, Martin Scorsese, etc. – while cleaning up at the box-office with its hugely successful James Bond and Pink Panther franchises - resulting in some of the most entertaining, adventurous, and Oscar-laden American (and foreign) movies of the last nine decades.
All through the month of August, The Loft celebrates the studio’s 90th Anniversary with some of the amazing United Artist films that have helped stoke the world’s love affair with the movies.

August 8th – August 14th:
ANNIE HALL (1977)
Arguably Woody Allen’s most widely-praised film, and perhaps the world’s most perfect romantic comedy. Allen’s fast-talking nebbish (was he ever any other kind of nebbish?) Alvy Singer loves and loses Diane Keaton’s Annie Hall over the years between screenings of The Sorrow and the Pity. Featuring a “meet-cute” between Alvy and Annie that is helpfully subtitled with unspoken subtext and media visionary Marshall McLuhan popping up to silence an arthouse pontificator. Pure comedy bliss. ANNIE HALL also snagged Oscars for Best Picture, Actress, Director, and Screenplay (by Allen & Marshall Brickman).
Co-starring Tony Roberts, Carol Kane, Paul Simon, Shelley Duvall and Christopher Walken.
