Woody Allen as Woody Allen and Rebecca Hall as Woody Allen

Recently Woody Allen talked about his absence from the silver screen, saying, "I can’t play the love interest anymore, and of course this is tremendously frustrating, because that’s really what I want to play. But that’s not as believable anymore." But his films, even when he's just behind the camera, have always had that trademark Woody Allen character, the complete neurotic package, and now someone has gone and made a supercut of them all. From Kenneth Branagh to Rebecca Hall (the only female "Woody Allen Surrogate”):

The real deal will be back in next year's Bop Decameron, when Allen will step back in front of the camera. [via Flavorwire]
