    Big fan of his movies and I would assume there are other fans here as well. I've noticed there really isn't a middle with him, either you like his movies or hate them.

    He has an untitled animation movie coming out about dogs in 2018. Bryan Cranston, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Jeff Goldblum, & Bob Balaban will be the voices.

    Fantastic Mr Fox was awesome. I'd put it in the middle of the pack at least. I agree with the rest of your list though.

    Darjeeling Limited is definitely the worst.

    Seems like we have this debate every couple of months. Love most everything he's done. For me:

    Tier 1:
    • Life Aquatic
    • Moonrise Kingdom/Grand Budapest
    • Bottle Rocket
    Tier 2:
    • Royal Tenenbaums/Rushmore
    • Fantastic Mr. Fox
    Bottom:
    • Darjeeling Limited --- may be my favorite soundtrack, though.

    Luke Wilson had nothing to do with the Rushmore script and on the day of that scene pitched that joke to Wes and Owen apropos of nothing and it made it into the movie.

    Watched it once, thought it was by far his worst film. Then I saw Darjeeling.

    There is an insurmountable gulf between those 2 films and the rest of his work. Don't like to choose between Rushmore, Bottle Rocket, and Tenebaums...but I probably would go with Rushmore if I had to.

    Yea life aquatic is just objectively not nearly as good as several of his other movies. I don't know how or why anyone could rank it at 1.

    Why don't you give it another try? That's absurd. You don't watch a wes anderson movie once and rate it off that one viewing.

    Elite ---- Rushmore, Bottle Rocket, Moonrise Kingdom
    Solid flick ---- Fantastic Mr. Fox, Royal Tenenbaums
    Overrated (but by no means bad movies) --- Darjeeling Limited, Life Aquatic, Grand Budapest Hotel

    Edward Norton and Bill Murray's characters in Moonrise Kingdom are legendary. Easily my favorite movie of all time.

    Can't speak on anyone else's reasoning, but I voted for Life Aquatic because it's my favorite. Hope that makes sense.

    Fantastic Mr Fox & The Life Aquatic are my favorites.

    I'm not sure where all the hate against TLA w SZ is coming from? I can understand people not liking Wes Anderson movies because some people just don't like them but this is a Wes Anderson thread. I'm not sure how different the Life Aquatic is from the others on the list? Does anyone care to explain?
