Thread: Wes Anderson's Best Film...

    Default Wes Anderson's Best Film...

    Any fans on the board? Here, IMO, is one of the better directors of his generation, despite a relatively small number of productions to his credit. Which is his best?

    I had to give it to The Royal Tennenbaums (true brilliance), though competition was stiff from Rushmore in particular, & I always enjoy a re-watching of The Life Aquatic as well. I know it was a big cult fave, but I actually just couldn't stand Bottle Rocket. Quentin Tarantino ranked this in his top-10 movies of the 90's. I thought it was really terrible, being honest.

    You didn't fancy IMDB'ing him before posting?

    The Royal Tennenbaums is his best, as I see it. It's brutally funny. Gene Hackman turns in an hysterical performance. Make some time for it if it's in your collection already

    I voted Rushmore but to be honest I don't think Wes Anderson is much cop. Rushmore is the only movie of his I like
    “For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”

    I tried watching Rushmore and Life Aquatic but couldn't get into it, so I won't be watching his other films.
