I've seen them all and can say with confidence he has no bad movies. My least favs are probably Bottle Rocket or Darjeeling, but they're still at least good.

Those are my least favorites too.

As for an Anderson marathon, my wife and I did a WesFest at home a few years ago before Isle Of Dogs was released.

@Melt Face Molly Drop And Fantastic Mr. Fox is a top tier Anderson film for me. It might be my overall favorite of his.

I do have soft spot for The Royal Tenenbaums. I think that one has the most "rewatchability" for me.

I need to revisit Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic. The latter was my gateway film for Anderson, and I've never understood the middling opinion.

These are my top 2!

I saw The Life Aquatic in theaters and did not enjoy it. I'm not sure why. I've probably seen it twice since then and it still doesn't do much for me.

I didn't care for it either. I found most, if not all, characters to be very unlikable. Whereas the characters in Tenebaums are unlikable in a dysfunctional Succession sort of way.

Tenenbaums is top 3 Anderson, but Life Aquatic is toward the bottom (again, still good, and occasionally great) my main problem with that one is the tonal shifts from silly to tragic are a little abrupt.

Yeah, Tenenbaums and Rushmore are my faves. Rushmore is my all time favorite film.

Life Aquatic and Darjeeling are great but are almost too Melancholy. They are still beautiful and have stellar moments but the pervasive sadness can them a bit of a task to revisit regularly.

I still love both a great deal I just rewatch them a bit less than the others.

I'm partial to Bottle Rocket but that's probably because I'm from Dallas, where it was shot and where the Wilson brothers come from.

Isn't Wes Anderson from there too?

My wife and I went to the Wes Anderson-designed coffee shop in Milan. It was quaint.

No, he's from Houston but they all met at the University of Texas at Austin.

Life Aquatic has Bill Murray's second best line delivery:

Spoiler

"I wonder if it remembers me."

His best ever, of course, is from Ghostbusters: "Yes, it is true. This man has no dick."

Always loved this photo of Wes and Owen after securing funding for Bottle Rocket.

I'm partial to Moonrise Kingdom's "I hope the roof flies off and I get sucked up into space."

 

[Bennnnn]

I love Wes Anderson’s films, all of them. But of course I have favorites. I have a soft spot for Darjeeling cause it was the first one I see in theaters, twice. Moonrise Kingdom is one that I love everything about, but I don’t see it talked about much. I didn’t totally gel with The French Dispatch, but I think I need to watch it again. Asteroid City looks interesting with its super hazy colors, almost like Moonrise a tiny bit visually. I’ll be seeing it this weekend for sure.
