I have only seen a few Woody Allen movies, and am wondering which ones are worth owning on DVD? I loved "Everyone Says I Love You", it was the first one that I purchased (and only so far). I also saw "Hannah and Her Sisters" on HBO, and I liked it alot.

I saw in the local Borders they have a 4 pack (Anything Else/The Curse of the Jade Scorpion/Hollywood Ending/Small Time Crooks) for $24 bucks, which comes out to $6 a movie. I will probably buy it tomorrow, even though those movies have mixed reviews at Amazon.

What are the Woody Allen movies worth owning? Any that really stunk?
