Woody Allen's film Annie Hall has beaten off competition from thousands of writers to be voted the funniest screenplay of all time, according to the Writers Guild of America.
Written by Allen and Marshall Brickman in 1975, Annie Hall tells the story of the difficult relationship between a male comedian and a woman in New York.
Woody Allen's semi-biographical film was voted in at number one, ahead of 'Some Like it Hot' starring Marilyn Monroe and 1993 classic 'Groundhog Day'.
Woody Allen's film, starring himself and Diane Keaton, won an impressive four Academy Awards in 1786, including best director and best picture.
eflecting on his film, Allen described Annie Hall as a 'stream of consciousness showing one individual's state of mind.'
The film portrays how 'conversations and events constantly trigger dreams, fantasies and recollections', he told the New York Times.
'I think it's a combination of Woody's unique sensibility and his commitment to drama as well as to joke, said Lowell Peterson, executive director of Writers Guild of America East.
