AMC Theatres is honoring the late Diane Keaton by bringing two of her most beloved films, ‘Annie Hall’ and ‘Something’s Gotta Give’, back to the big screen. Starting this Friday, the films will screen in 100 cinemas for a one-week special tribute, Variety reports.
‘Annie Hall’, released in 1977, marked a major milestone in Keaton’s career. Her performance as the quirky, charming nightclub singer Annie Hall earned her the first of four Oscar nominations for Best Actress.
The film, directed by Woody Allen, also features him as Alvy Singer, a neurotic comedian reflecting on his failed relationship with Annie in a mix of humor, romance, and surreal storytelling. The chemistry between Keaton and Allen captivated audiences.

In 2003, Keaton delivered another unforgettable performance in Nancy Meyers’ ‘Something’s Gotta Give’. The romantic comedy, which also starred Jack Nicholson, saw her play the mother of Nicholson’s much younger girlfriend, drawing audiences into a story of love, age, and unexpected romance.
The film was a box office hit. It earned $265 million worldwide against an $80 million budget, and brought Keaton her fourth Oscar nomination for Best Actress.
Diane Keaton passed away on October 11 at the age of 79. Born Diane Hall in Los Angeles in 1946, she was the oldest of four children. Her father worked as a civil engineer, while her mother nurtured her creative side, helping shape the actress who would go on to define a generation of film.
