I liked Grand Budapest Hotel. Moonrise Kingdom made me worry that Wes Anderson was turning into a parody of himself. His shtick was turned up to the max in that movie. But it was dialed back here. Here is my ranking of W.A. movies:

1. The Royal Tenenbaums
2. Bottle Rocket
3. Rushmore
4. The Grand Budapest Hotel
5. The Darjeeling Limited
6. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
7. Moonrise Kingdom
8. Fantastic Mr. Fox

I thought if anything he upped the ante with even more panned shots and bit characters. Doesn't detract from his movies for me though, he's one of my favorites along with Danny Boyle, and Scorcese.

As far as Anderson Films go, it will probably take me a bit to place GPH. For now, here is my list.

1. Moonrise Kingdom
2. The Royal Tenenbaums
3. The Grand Budapest Hotel
4. Fantastic Mr. Fox
5. Rushmore
6. The Darjeeling Limited
7. The Life Aquatic

Haven't seen Budapest yet, however:

1. Rushmore (even with his other films, there's nothing else like it)

2. Royal Tenenbaums (there's an incredible amount of detail in this one, even for a WA film)

3. Moonrise Kingdom (really good coming of age story, minus the kids dancing in their underwear)

4. Life Aquartic (a lot of people hated it, but I loved it. felt less serious than his other films. more fun)

5. Bottle Rocket (watched this one second. probably has the most warm hearted film of all of them)

6. Mr. Fox (haven't seen it a lot. it's funny, but doesn't hold my attention like the others)

7. The Darjeeling Limited (I actually hated it. Beautiful to look at, but I just didn't dig the story or the relationship between the brothers)
