One of my favorite Woody Allen movies is undoubtedly Annie Hall. I'm a sucker for conversation pieces but I consider this Allen hit the best of its kind because it's very unsentimental, honest, and easily relatable. It's to the 1998 version of Great Expectations as borsche is to chicken soup.

And it ends with this line: “This guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, Doc, my brother’s crazy. He thinks he’s a chicken. The doctor says, Well, why don’t you turn him in? And the guy says, I would but I need the eggs. Well I guess that’s pretty much how I feel about relationships. You know they’re totally irrational and crazy and absurd but I guess we keep going through it because, uh, most of us need the eggs.”

So true.
