Wes Anderson and his level of twee is not for everyone; there are apparently viewers who don't like their comedies brimming with quirky charm, deadpan absurdity, and perfectly balanced cinematography. For them, Rob Schneider is probably still making movies somewhere.

Shots fired!

Number one for me is the newest one, Asteroid City. Before that, it was Life Aquatic. It's insane how low Life Aquatic is on this list, but at least it's not lower than Darjeeling Limited.

I used to love the Royal Tenenbaums, but when I watch it now, it feels like nothing really happens in that movie. Like, I still like it and quote it, but I just can't justify it being at the top of the list. I think it should swap spots with The Life Aquatic, then I could agree.

Yeah i have a soft spot for RT but i agree it’s not as good as i thought 20 years ago. I much prefer Moonrise Kingdom and Grand Budapest these days.

Rushmore was my introduction to Wes Anderson decades ago and it remains my favorite. I quote it weekly, with heavy preference to "O R they?" Love it through and through.

Hmm Darjeeling is one of my faves I wouldn’t expect that to be ranked last

This list is wildly subjective, I personally think it is almost backwards, but everyone sees something different in movies, especially Wes Anderson's

Yeah I had a hard time with it because the Indian characters were not even two dimensional. I remember thinking was it to reinforce the self absorption of the main characters? Any potential character growth after the key scene in the middle of the movie was squandered

The whole “white people go to foreign land to find themselves” story is incredibly overdone. The movie is a canker sore on Wes’ otherwise quite original filmography

I personally thought the film seemed respectful of Indian culture.

I have often said (to mostly deaf ears) that Fantastic Mr. Fox is probably his best film, and one of my favorite films period. Glad to see it so high on one of these lists.

Apart from Royal Tenenbaums at first place, I'd reverse this list.

I'm convinced this article is clickbait in the vein of posting the wrong answer and getting people to respond to prove you wrong.

As a casual Wes Anderson fan I feel like this list is organized by general popularity rather than from a hardcore Wes Anderson fan perspective, which in my opinion is a flawed approach. The less generally popular films I’ve been exposed to have been the more enjoyable to me.

I call BS. I found the Darjeeling Limited and the Life Aquatic to be the most likable.

I can appreciate his movies, but I'm not a huge fan. Isle of Dogs was really, really good though.

I really don't like his style. Haven't watched all of his movies (and won't), but those I did watch were torture for me. The French Dispatch being the worst of the bunch.
