Another top moment is Steve Zissou starting to cry in his submarine when he finally finds the jaguar shark, and all of his mates & crew reach their hands to him for support. It makes me weep every time I see it.
I go with "Do you think he remembers me" from Steve Zissou personally. That scene gets me every time. The delivery of the line, the song choice... Chefs kiss
I love that movie so much, I just watched it again yesterday. Everything about it is perfect, the climatic scene where they find the jaguar shark is so amazing, when everyone puts a hand on Steve, all of his old friends and family and his new friends who came with him on this journey and wondered why the hell they were there with this crazy jackass. It all comes together and for that moment, he was great again, and everyone knew why they were there. It's really rare that a movie can capture that much emotion in one shot. I genuinely think that movie is worth watching just for that one scene.
Grand Budapest Hotel was just perfect, but so many of his other movies are just as good. Great director and probably the most recognizable filmmaker of all. You see a frame from all his movies, you know it's Wes. Can you say that of any other director?
David Fincher, Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorcese, Akira Kurosawa, Tim Burton, just to name a few. Each icon's style is quite distinct you can tell it's them, or a homage to their artistic style.
@@manchesterunitedno7 nah i would dissagre with you about tarantino, though he is great, but he is often imitated by other filmmakers such as guy ritchie or shane black, and fincher movie style could be made by anyone, i mean nolan insomnia feels like fincher movies
The Life Aquatic will always be my #1. By a Mississippi mile. Royal Tenenbaums and the Grand Budapest Hotel probably round out my top 3. Although, I am pumped to see Asteroid City finally, and Darjeeling Limited is highly underrated.
Wes Anderson is my favorite director. My favorite is Moonrise Kingdom, which he should have won Best Screenplay for. I hope he gets nominated for (and wins) Best Director for Asteroid City.
I saw The Darjeeling Limited so often at the bottom of these Wes Anderson rankings I believed it. But I really loved it when I saw it. The French Dispatch is the worst imo.
Maaan, Darjeeling's my favorite lolol. Just feels like his most raw and personal. Love his quirky stuff too, of course, but Darjeeling definitely one of Anderson's most emotionally effective.
@@Marvelous_Opera 🤣🤣 yeah, like I do really still love his newer films. Asteroid City had me in tears. But those two (Darjeeling and Rushmore and also Bottlerocket), showed a way more raw side of Anderson without the theatrics. It’s always great to see a wonderful and masterful piece of art, but some of us really just want to see the artist behind the makeup.
Life aquatic is such and underrated Movie. I don’t know why people hate it so much. It has so much charm and great characters. The story is kind of strange and at times can feel kind of messy but overall is one of his best movies right behind Rushmore and the Royal tenenbaums
This list should be renamed ‘from great to greatest’ as there is no worst Wes Anderson film. One of the most consistently brilliant directors of all time. Personally I’d be Royal Tenenbaums and Rushmore as 1 and 2 respectively but this is a pretty fair list
@@snerdterguson Since I last commented this I've grown to think Asteroid City is right up there with his most elite films. I love all the ones you listed as well
His name is actually West Anderson but they misspelled it in the credits of his first film and he was too afraid to correct them and now he's stuck with it. 😢
Growing up on Cape Ann in Massachusetts was great, When I first watched Moonrise Kingdom, homesickness struck. The island, Scout jamboree, the clothing, everything was perfect in that movie.
Even though I haven't really seen many of his other movies, I think that Isle of Dogs and Fantastic Mr. Fox are most likely my top picks for this video. I'm into movies that have animals as the stars and I think that these 2 are really good at showing that.
For reference, list: The Darjeeling Limited - 2007 The French Dispatch - 2021 Isle of Dogs - 2018 The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou - 2004 Bottle Rocket - 1996 Asteroid City - 2023 Rushmore - 1998 Fantastic Mr. Fox - 2009 Moonrise Kingdom - 2012 The Royal Tenenbaums - 2001 The Grand Budapest Hotel - 2014
"The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou" is my favourite of Anderson's filmography, as I love the style, characters (esp. Willem Dafoe's Klaus) and music and I feel it's pretty underrated. Also, fun fact: Matthew Gray Gubler has a small role as Intern #1 AKA Niko and was a co-writer and Wes Anderson's real-life intern!
Ranking seems counter to the spirit of Wes Anderson's films, but I'd put Moonrise Kingdom first, The Life Aquatic second and Royal Tenenbaums third. This may change after I see Asteroid City. Or not.
Gustav from the Grand Budapest Hotel cracked me up the first time I watched that film. Ralph Fiennes can really pull off a very sophisticated gentlemanly character, even if he's also got a bit of a potty mouth. Wes Anderson is one of the greats of modern cinema. There's so much crap out there that it's refreshing to see true artists still thriving.
I’m in the process buying all Anderson movies so far I have The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou Moonrise Kingdom and Darjeeling Limited my next three I order will be Rushmore Bottle Rocket and The Royal Tennenbaums
Grand Budapest Hotel is by far my favorite, mostly due to Ralph Fiennes. Asteroid City comes in second. I don't know how to rank the others because I enjoy them all equally. The only two I haven't seen yet are Bottle Rocket and Isle of Dogs.
Love Wes Anderson movies, the subjects, the casts, the sly humor, timing and of course, the pastel colors. My goal is to see every one before I die, I'm about half way there. Of course, the Grand Budapest is his opus, so far.
Isle of Dogs should’ve been higher and should’ve been above Life Aquatic, which had a cool idea but ultimately was a bit slow and wasn’t as good as we all wanted to be. Haven’t seen Astroid City yet. Definitely would go with the awesome Grand Budapest Hotel as number one and the Fantastic Mr. Fox as number 2. The fantastic Mr. Fox was when Wes Andersons humor really started hitting with me. Seeing his humor in animated form for the first time, i found it so hilarious and genius. It made me start to appreciate that humor a lot more in love action films.
Isle of Dogs should have been 2nd but I totally agree his best work to date is grand hotel. He’s up there with the greats in my view like billy wilder and Tarkovsky. Just such an engaging director who is just pure story driven.
The Darjeeling Limited is among my top 5 Wes Anderson films. I keep seeing it listed at the bottom and am shocked each time. I think it was the first Wes Anderson movie I’ve seen too maybe that’s why.
1. Bottle Rocket or Rushmore 2. Moonrise or Darjeeling Pretty much stopped watching movies altogether years ago, so haven't seen many of the others and can't fairly judge.
1. Fantastic Mr. Fox 2. Moonrise Kingdom 3. The Royal Tenenbaums 4. The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou 5. The Grand Budapest Hotel 6. Rushmore 7. The Darjeeling Limited 8. Isle Of Dogs 9. The French Dispatch 10. Bottle Rocket
The guy who plays Pele is sooooo good! I don't know what it is about his voice and the way he plays guitar, it just really fits with the movie, it's perfect.
1 - The Grand Hotel Budapest 2 - Moonrise Kingdom 3 - The Royal Tenenbaums 4 - Isle of Dogs 5 - Rushmore 6 - The French Dispatch 7 - Bottle Rocket 8 - Fantastic Mr. Fox 9 - Asteroid City 10 - The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou 11 - The Darjeeling Limited
5. Fantastic Mr. Fox (C) 4. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (C+) 3. Moonrise Kingdom (B+) 2. Isle of Dogs (A-) 1. The Grand Budapest Hotel (A-) Planning to see all his other movies.
I’ve been starting to get into Wes Anderson’s work, so far I’ve watched Fantastic Mr Fox and Asteroid City and loved them both(With both being some of my favorite films ever). I definitely want to check out Grand Budapest, it looks amazing!
1. The Royal Tenenbaums 2. Rushmore 3. The Grand Budapest Hotel 4. Fantastic Mr. Fox 5. The Life Aquatic 6. Bottle Rocket 7. Darjeeling Limited 8. Isle of Dogs 9. Moonrise Kingdom 10. The French Dispatch * Astroid City (have not seen yet)
Actual list: 1- Royal Tenenbaums 2- Darjeeling limited 3- fantastic mr. Fox 4- isle of dogs 5- grand Budapest (Astroid city doesn’t even make the list)
I wish the local chains of California "Regal" would get Enlightened and start showing Wes Anderson.... i waited for Astroid City... Nope, more important to HORROR everyone.... Dont we get enough each day on the News ?!?! The world needs Wes Now more than ever. P E A C E
It’s not a bad ranking. Definitely agree with 10 and 11 being at the bottom. I’d put Royal T and Rushmore ahead of Grand B though. Gotta say, his Netflix shorts are amazing and would deserve a good ranking too. In the end, so much subjectivity in ranking. However, if you don’t put Darjeeling Limited last, I’d question if you really know what you like about his films.
I just watched The Life Aquatic with my fiancee yesterday, she had never seen it, and isn't even familiar with Wes Anderson's work. She liked it, lmao, she was surprised that I liked it, she said it was "more artsy fartsy" than what she would picture me liking. Which is extremely accurate.
I really enjoyed "Asteroid City" and I think it should've been higher on this list. Asteroid City felt like the most contemporary of Anderson's films; basically, a satire on being quarantined ... In someways, the truth about the alien that caused the quarantine (allegory for Covid) is irrelevant. The satire is more about government quarantining people and how the people react ... I thought it was funny, well-acted, and I encourage any Wes Anderson fan to enjoy this whimsical story.
My Ranking 1. Fantastic Mr. Fox 2. The Grand Budapest Hotel 3. Moonrise Kingdom 4. The French Dispatch 5. Rushmore 6. Isle of Dogs 7. The Royal Tenenbaums 8. Asteroid City 9. The Darjeeling Limited 10. The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou 11. Bottle Rocket
I mostly agree with this list, although I haven't seen Asteroid City yet and I couldn't decide between The Royal Tenenbaums or The Grand Hotel Budapest.
Personally, mine are: 1. The Grand Budapest Hotel 2. Moonrise Kingdom 3. Darjeeling Limited 4. French Dispatch 5. Asteroid City 6. Life Aquatic 7. The Royal Tenenbaums 8. Rushmore 9. Bottle Rocket 10. Isle of Dogs 11. Fantastic Mr. Fox
