Woody Allen is a failure -- so says Woody Allen, who has 46 films, including many iconic ones, to his credit. In an interview with the Times of London, he says, "I've squandered an opportunity that people would kill for. I have had complete artistic freedom. Other directors don't get that in their lifetime. But I have a very poor record given the opportunities I've had."

Compared to his heroes Fellini and Kurosawa, he hasn't done much, he claims. "There are a few [films] better than others, half a dozen, but's a surprising paucity of worthwhile celluloid."

Which six movies would you predict are Allen's favorites among his oeuvre? Hint: Not the ones you would think.

Here they are: "Purple Rose of Cairo," "Match Point," "Bullets Over Broadway," "Zelig," "Husbands and Wives" and "Vicky Cristina Barcelona." Let the arguments begin.
