OMG, one movie that I wouldn't necessarily describe as "great" or "favorite", but definitely re-watchable and tons of fun, is Woody Allen's "Small Time Crooks." So funny, so quotable! It's def. light and fluffy, it's not "Crimes and Misdemeanors", but that is part of what makes it soooo endlessly re-watchable, plus it has Tracey Ulman, Michael Rappaport, Jon Lovitz, etc.
"Curse of the Jade Scorpion" is another super-fun and relatively recent Woody film. The use of music as an integral part of the plot is great, in that one. There's a particular scene in that movie which I'd re-watch again and again just to hear the music. I don't think I like it *quite* as much as Small Time Crooks; Woody is looking so elderly by that point that it's kinda awkward to see him in the lead role, but it's still super-fun and has Dan Akroyd.
Remember the part(s) with this song? Madagascar! Constantinople!
Is this song not great???
