I’ve always been intrigued, but never got around to any of his films. They seem to have a very unique “flavour”, like I can almost taste his style, which I find really interesting.

Should I start with Bottle Rocket and go through by release date, or is there a recommended film to start with?

    I don’t think I had seen a Wes Anderson movie until about 3 years ago when I watched one with friends.

    It was ‘The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou’, and my reaction to it prompted a friend of a friend to suggest that maybe I should watch more of his movies.

    Now, I am no fan of certain directors or produces and know/recognise their work. I just like a movie because I like the movie.

    So I cannot say if this is a good one to start off with or how good it is compared to other works of his.

    Edit:

    Wait, I lie.

    I watched The Grand Budapest Hotel a few years before The Life Aquatic and I enjoyed that one as well.

    I didn’t realise that was one of his as well, but I had a hunch and looked it up.

      I’ve decided to go by release date and limit to 2 per week so I should hit Life Aquatic next week.
