ODE TO WES ANDERSON

Today is the day when I tell you all about my favorite movie. Except, I can't choose just one.

I will however, say that Wes Anderson is my favorite director. Like many directors, he has a 'crew' of actors that he commonly works with. Luke, Owen, and Andrew Wilson, Angelica Huston, Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, and Adrien Brody are some. His films, in order of my liking:

The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) - i've probably seen it 20 times
Rushmore (1998)
Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)
The Darjeeling Limited (2007)
The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (2004)
Bottle Rocket (1996)

He also has 2 short films, one that goes along with Bottle Rocket by the same name, and one that goes with The Darjeeling Limited called Hotel Chevalier.

He's coming out with another movie next year called The Rosenthaler Suite.

A total genius.
I also like 'thinking' movies like Children of Men and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
