For me, I think Reds and Interiors were her most stunning dramatic performances. I mean you could feel the depth of what she was expressing. And for comedy, aside from the obviously wonderful Annie Hall, I was really blown away by how hysterically funny she was in Something's Gotta Give. The crying scene is one of the funniest sequences performed by any actress ever. And just the fact that she could overshadow a presence as strong as Nicholson is quite an achievement (and her scenes with him in Reds, btw, were exceptional).
If you haven't seen Woody Allen's Manhattan Murder Mystery from the mid '90s, do so. Her energy (along with Alan Alda) in this film is priceless. Also, the family sickness drama Marvin's Room (1996) featured a very touching sob-inducing performance from Diane that I wish had received more attention than it did. And finally, see Diane and Albert Finney in a highly effective downbeat divorce drama from Alan Parker called Shoot the Moon (1982). I recall a scene of Diane in a bathtub smoking a joint and trying desperately not to cry. A highly effective scene showcasing her talents unfolding before your eyes.
A fine actress gifted with the ability to beautifully express the comic and the tragic, sometimes within the same breath.
