1. Annie Hall (1977) - Annie Hall
Winning a Best Actress Oscar, the film was the best showcase for Keaton's adorably kooky "shiksa" who confounded and entranced Allen's protagonist.
2. The Godfather (1972) & The Godfather Part II (1974) - Kay Adams / Corleone
Keaton's "nice WASP girl" quality served Francis Ford Coppola well as Kay evolved from Michael Corleone's innocent girlfriend into his increasingly disillusioned and finally embittered, estranged wife.
3. Reds (1981) - Louise Bryant
Taking on the meaty role of leftist writer-artist Louise Bryant in then-beau Warren Beatty's ambitious epic. Her complex portrait of lover, heroine and feminist earned her a second Best Actress Oscar nomination and solidified her position at the top of Hollywood's A-list.
4. Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993) - Carol Lipton
Giving a winning performance as a bored upper middle-class woman who is both shocked and invigorated by her own obsessive curiosity in Woody Allen's comedy mystery.
5. Manhattan (1979) - Mary Wilkie
In her last starring role in a film opposite Woody Allen for over a decade, Keaton once again fits in well with the bittersweet comedy of this masterpiece.
