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?

    Wes Anderson movies since moonrise kingdom have looked like an AI was trained on Wes Anderson movies. I still enjoyed grand Budapest hotel, but i also really love Ralph Fines.

    Agree on Rushmore, Royal Tennenbaums (my personal favorite), and Grand Budapest Hotel, and I would replace darjeeling limited with Bottle Rocket.

    Abd if you really really really liked RT and GBT, then watch The Life Aquatic.

      You’re absolutely right about AI 😂. Just two years ago when AI kicked off, there were many AI videos of mock Wes Anderson movies. It is sad that the great director himself seems to be using the style in those fakes to make further films. Grand Budapest and Darjeeling limited are two of my favourites as among the comedy there were some dark themes. The shadow of fascism in the former and the injustices of poverty in the latter
