    I used to love the Royal Tenenbaums, but when I watch it now, it feels like nothing really happens in that movie. Like, I still like it and quote it, but I just can’t justify it being at the top of the list. I think it should swap spots with The Life Aquatic, then I could agree.

      Yeah i have a soft spot for RT but i agree it’s not as good as i thought 20 years ago. I much prefer Moonrise Kingdom and Grand Budapest these days.

    This article is written by someone who likes to fart in a jar so they can keep smelling it during the day

      I’m convinced this article is clickbait in the vein of posting the wrong answer and getting people to respond to prove you wrong.

    I would put Grand Budapest much higher, personally. But, as a big fan of Wes Anderson films this was a fun article to read.

    Rushmore was my introduction to Wes Anderson decades ago and it remains my favorite. I quote it weekly, with heavy preference to “O R they?” Love it through and through.

      Yeah I had a hard time with it because the Indian characters were not even two dimensional. I remember thinking was it to reinforce the self absorption of the main characters? Any potential character growth after the key scene in the middle of the movie was squandered
