Most of Wes Anderson's films are a bit too quirky for me, but I really liked 'Life Aquatic'. Murray's droll, deadpan delivery is perfect. Only he could make a line like, "Remind me, we'll send him a red cap and a Speedo" work so well.

Final Hopes for Tomorrow (Based Off of Favorite Directors in the Collection)
Martin Scorsese - After Hours
David Cronenberg - The Brood
Terry Gilliam - The Fisher King
Coen Brothers - Inside Llewyn Davis
David Lynch - Mulholland Dr.
Brian De Palma - Sisters

Not all are legitimate guesses, but if one makes the cut, I will be very happy. I would be open to there being some surprise as well, with Sisters being substituted with Hi, Mom (which will probably wind up with Kino) or Llewyn Davis for The Man Who Wasn't There or Barton Fink.

Pro B,

I have seen a minor error with the review. At the end of the review's very first paragraph, it states the the blu-ray is Region B locked.

bstv69 · 02-17-2015, 04:52 AM

I'm loving everyone's rating, thanks. So I just watched The Life Aquatic, and I thought it was amazing. I think I am going to have to revisit Rushmore because I clearly missed something. But so far based on the Wes Anderson Films I've seen I'd have to rate them:

1. Bottle Rocket
2. Life Aquatic
3. Grand Budapest
4. Moonrise Kingdom
5. Rushmore

Thank you so much, mrjohnnyb

I saw it and corrected it.

JoeBuck · 02-17-2015, 05:01 AM

My favorite Anderson films goes as follows:

The Royal Tenenbaums
Rushmore
Moonrise Kingdom
The Life Aquatic/The Grand Budapest Hotel
The Fantastic Mr. Fox
The Darjeeling Limited
Bottle Rocket

That might change if I see Bottle Rocket and The Fantastic Mr. Fox again though. Should also mention that I've yet to dislike any of them.

Check her out in The Women in that cowgirl outfit!

Was just thinking that based on the Bunuel titles they still have, they could easily turn them into a nice Bunuel/Silvia Pinal boxset

Viridiana, The Exterminating Angel and Simon of the Desert.

But that would be just too amazing to be true, i would be more than happy if they announce an upgrade of any of those tomorrow.

Id settle for just The Exterminating Angel

Spanish Scott · 02-17-2015, 06:48 AM

If Criterion announced just one of the following tomorrow, it'd make my day.

- A Matter of Life and Death
- Hour of the Wolf
- Two Days, One Night
- Pretty much anything from Wilder
- As Tears Go By (I'm probably in a very small minority that prefers this to Days of Being Wild).

And as a bonus, maybe throw in PTA's Hard Eight.

I looked up a couple of shots of her in that, and wow. I will have to seek that one out!

I'd love to get a poster of this still:

Even though I already own 3 of those blu, I'd be thrilled with this list.

My Wes Anderson film ranking:

Moonrise Kingdom
The Royal Tenenbaums
Fantastic Mr. Fox
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Rushmore
The Darjeeling Limited
Bottle Rocket
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

I absolutely adore the first 5 films on my list (so that ranking can shift a bit), TDL is a perfectly fine film, and I'm not really a fan of BR or TLAWSZ (though I should watch them again as it has been a while since I saw them).

For May, I'm hoping for some more Powell & Pressburger (I Know Where I'm Going! would be great).
