I agree. It's my personal favorite of his, and I've watched all of his films countless times over the years. MiP also benefits from Woody being at his record needle dropping best; the tracks he selected are all outstanding, though the album itself should have ended with a different track (for a better listening experience and wrap up).
I'm probably the only person in the world who absolutely loved his 2015 film, Irrational Man.

I've not seen that movie.....must check it out. I love 'Blue Jasmine' !
I am infatuated with both the film and soundtrack. Tremendous array, great choice of standards. Wish I could disappear into the screen and join the gang for Josephine's conga.

Really, Howard? What would Paul say?
"Nostalgia is denial - denial of the painful present... the name for this denial is golden age thinking - the erroneous notion that a different time period is better than the one one's living in - it's a flaw in the romantic imagination of those people who find it difficult to cope with the present." -----------
Midnight in Paris is a highly quotable film; it deserved its Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay (and it will no doubt be Woody's last).
"You can fool me, but you can't fool Ernest Hemingway!"
"I believe that love that is true and real creates a respite from death. All cowardice comes from not loving, or not loving well, which is the same thing. And when the man who is brave and true looks death squarely in the face like some rhino hunters I know, or Belmonte, who's truly brave. It is because they love with sufficient passion to push death out of their minds, until it returns, as it does to all men. And then you must make really good love again. Think about it."

Oh you got me there, Jim. So many great quotes, too. Back to our Hannah fest are we?!
On the "Bobby Short, R.I.P." thread. 2006? I guess we officially "go back" quite a number of years now. That was the most "enjoyable" wake I ever attended.
Another funny part of MiP is Gil's reply to Hemingway's "Do you box?" Owen Wilson is hands down the best "Would Be Woody", with Jesse Eisenberg a close, but distant, second.
I'm with you on Wilson but Eisenberg, nah. Even Mia in Purple Rose played Woody better. I thought OW was at his best refuting the pedantic at the art museum.
Anyway, whaddaya say we head up to Montmartre for a drink?

Sure, but you have to be the one who bellows, "Who wants a fight?!?"
that track can be heard in the MiP trailer beginning at 1:13---
