I watched Three Kings again for the first time in 10 years. Forgot how good it was. 8.5/10.

I'm not enamored with Manhattan either. It's a really well made movie and I can see why many rate it among Allen's best, but it wouldn't even make my top 10 Allen films. I couldn't quite get past the fact that no one in the movie seemed to think it was weird or inappropriate for a guy in his 30s to be dating a 17-year-old girl.

Have you seen Crimes and Misdemeanors? I recommend that one since you like Match Point.

Total Recall (1990)

8.5-9/10

I haven't read the story Total Recall is based on, but the movie felt very much like a Philip K. Dick affair. It's thematically rich and thought-provoking, and the visuals were great for their time (and they hold up pretty well now). Also, the story is really well paced and the action scenes are badass.

In retrospect it's kind of a warning about Allen's future behavior, isn't it?
