Wes Anderson Movies & Similar Styles

[CychiatricWard]

I am a huge Wes Anderson fan and am currently going through his catalog again, albeit not in order of release. Just finished Life Aquatic, which happens to be one of my favorite movies in general.

I am curious about others feelings on his movies, which ones you like, and what other directors have styles that would be good to check out.

My favorite is usually the one I saw most recently.

 

[Texbudman]

My favorite movie maker. Love all his stuff but Rushmore is still my #1.
Some of Taika Waititi movies have a similar feel.

The Life Aquatic is my favorite of his films, and possibly my favorite movie in general. Bill Murray's entire performance is some of the best acting of all time, in my opinion. The scene where he returns home, and introduces Ned to his wife, is flat out incredible.

There's so much going on here. I could watch it on a loop all day

the opening sequence when he is explaining what happened, what he plans to do and get asked why, only to reply "revenge' is one of Anderson's best 3 minutes of film.

'Jo Jo Rabbit' is one of the top 3 movies I've seen in the last 10 years, and might be at the very top.

 

[FerShizzle]

my favorite is probably Rushmore. but have to give an honorary mention to The Grand Budapest Hotel and The Darjeeling Limited.

What kind of cat was it? Who gives a ****. I think it was a Tabby.

I don’t get why the movie didn’t do as well as some of his others honestly. My girlfriend just watched it with me and she really enjoyed it.

Or when they get financing for the movie, but only under the condition that they all have to take a piss test, bring along the "bond company stooge", and promise not to kill the shark. And he says something like "I'll fight it, but I'll let it live." That whole sequence is very Wes Anderson.

In our house, we watch The Fantastic Mr. Fox probably 3-4 times per year, or more. It's been one of our kids favorites for years. Great family film, but also one that adults can enjoy. Isle of Dogs is held in similar, if slightly less celebrated regard.

the ******* bond company stooge!

That's it. Ok, now I need to watch the whole thing. I only need half an excuse anyway.

 

[FerShizzle]

If I die first and I most certainly will you will be my sole heir. There's not much in the kitty except a set of ivory backed hairbrushes and my library of romantic poetry but when the time comes these will be yours
along with whatever we haven't already spent on whores and whiskey.

Saw Grand Budapest on Hulu last week and said to hell with it I’m watching them all, so I’m with you on that.

I liked Hunt for the Wilderpeople more.

 

[20eyes]

I saw Rushmore twice by myself in the theater which I've never done before or since. In my top five films. Absolutely brilliant with an amazing soundtrack. Perfect movie, imo.

I love them all, Life Aquatic or Fantastic Mr Fox is probably my favorite. I’d love to see George Clooney in a live action Wes anderson film, I feel like he’d knock it out of the park.

Also after this SNL skit I feel like I need to see a Wes Anderson horror film.
