How are Woody Allen's, Annie Hall (1977) and Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993) a product of their time?

What issues, themes, concerns, or approaches reflect what is going on in film, society, or politics of the time it was made? (sorry this was a film paper question..HELP)
also the same question for Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow(1999) and Edward Scissorhands

Well, because those movies reflected what's happening at that time.

Just like the movies produced nowadays, they are the product of our current time.

To Rome with Love: Woody Allen's latest wrong turn?
Oxford Student - Dec 31, 1969
For a period between Annie Hall in 1977 and Bullets over Broadway in 1994, everything he wrote was gold. Midnight in Paris last year was a good film, but it is almost offensive to place it alongside classics like Manhattan or Hannah and Her Sisters.
