Yeah, you're alone.

Rushmore is the best.

Then Bottle Rocket.

Then Tenenbaums.

It's hard to forsee where The Life Aquatic will fit in, but I can't imagine it being better than his first two.

We'll see.

Anderson hierarchy.

I don't know about Rushmore being better than the other two, but Wes Anderson's probably my favourite contemporary director so I'd have a lot of trouble ranking his films.  I find I enjoy the same things about all of them and that they have similar flaws.  I'm terrified that I'll dislike Life Aquatic, however, since I've set quite high standards for it.

I like Rushmore best of the three, followed closely by Tennenbaums.  If nothing else you have to like these movies because they give Bill Murray a chance to act -- that is, to play a character other than Bill Murray.

My main criticism of Anderson is that he needs a good editor.  A story editor that is, not a film editor.  His pacing is a little slack which leads to some dragginess at points.

Hell yes isn't that true.  Although that is kind of why I love Bottle Rocket so much.  It's such a lazy plot, or at least feels so lazy.  It gets kind of annoying in the next two.

I just rented Citizen Kane.  It's really weird to watch a movie that's been referenced so much.  I kind of felt like I'd already seen it although I hadn't.  I'd say it stands up well over time.

As for recent must see movies, I'd recommend The Triplets of Belleville.  I saw the french only version in a theatre.  The DVD has totally unnessisary subtitles.  It's very enjoyable, and the music is great too.
