Annie Hall

Where did it all go wrong?
Well that, in a nutshell, is the point of Woody Allen’s Oscar-winning film and biggest box-office success to date. It’s what Alvy Singer (Allen) asks himself after splitting up with Annie Hall (Diane Keaton).

They should be a perfect match – a kookily blissful bubble of shared neuroses. But something isn’t right. He won’t go and see a film if he’s missed the opening credits (even if it’s a Swedish movie). She wants to try cocaine. He just sneezes all over it. The reality that bites here is that finding your soulmate doesn’t always guarantee a happy ending.

Weapon of choice
A record producer played by Paul Simon – whose chilled-out vibes lure Annie to California.

Nastiest line
‘You’re so egocentric that if I miss my therapy you can only think of it in terms of how it affects you!’

Here are ten of history’s most complicated screen splits.
