His writing is stilted—all of his characters sound like him. And the concept of each film never exceeds the terrain of "middle brow." He emerged on the scene making comedies that were original (and mostly funny) in the 1970s, but then became convinced he was an American Bergman.

There’s even an argument that Mel Brooks films such as THE PRODUCERS, BLAZING SADDLES, and YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN have held up better, are funnier, and more “important,” perhaps bc they didn’t try to be important.

By this rationale (New York Stories) Coppola is also minor.

Good one liners but I would imagine he'd used up his jokes quite a while ago. Haven't seen an Allen movie since Broadway Danny Rose.

1984, I learn to my amazement.
