Wes Anderson is an interesting filmmaker, you have to give him that. My favorite of his is The Fantastic Mr. Fox
I gotta go with The Royal Tannenbaums.
Don't know if I spelled that right. Too sick to give a hoot.

That's my older kids' favorite. I liked it, but it has the fatal flaw of containing Gwyneth Paltrow. She grates my last nerve in pretty much everything except Iron Man.
Yes, just the other night while watching Talented Ripley I had the very same thought except for the Iron Man part.
Ha, she's my favorite thing about that flick!
Now, THAT is a good movie! I don't think Jude Law is capable of a bad performance. I think Patricia Highsmith (the writer of the original story) is going to be the next 'new to me' writer on my list.
I'd be interested in reading that one.
My favorite is Moonrise Kingdom.Wes Anderson is an interesting filmmaker, you have to give him that. My favorite of his is The Fantastic Mr. Fox
That was a sweet story, wasn't it? I like that one, too
I've only recently discovered his movies. They are so intricate and unusual.
They really are. He's like a visual John Irving.
I've recentley watched Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016). Sooo, if you're consider yourself an adequate person - then i strongly recommend you not to watch it. In case you've decided to refuse my advice - don't take it seriously, it's obviously a trash-movie, and it's better to watch it like a comedy. Very cruel and bloody depicted zombie scenes, it almost shown in irony style. It was a pretty hard for me to waiting until it ends. 3 of 10.
Spotlight - gripping dramatization of real-life newspaper investigation.
Mad Max: Fury Road.
How in the world did this movie get great reviews? A two-hour vehicle chase with little-to-no dialogue. And no Mel Gibson. If this is what a resurrected “Mad Max” is after 30 years, it should have been left dead and buried. If they wanted to make a movie about a post-apocalyptic demolition derby, then do so and call it “Killing All Cars,” but leave “Mad Max” out of it. Why did Theron have no arm, and what was the point?. Did the director have some family member that needed cash with a CGI startup of theirs? The only redeeming quality to the movie was the performance of some unknown bald kid who was painted white. Did I mention no Mel Gibson?

I missed the charm too. Only made it to about 15, 20 minutes and went off to paint the dog's toes or do something else that was more productive for me. And that's saying something, to walk away from the prospect of the Charlize eye candy.
I grew up with the Mel Gibson movies and admittedly entered this one with skepticism, but I loved it. I was enthralled from beginning to end.
