Bottle Rocket (Criterion Collection) by Wes Anderson

First to recommend

Description

The film that catapulted Wes Anderson's (and Owen Wilson) career as a serious filmmaker. In my opinion, the Criterion release is entirely too late. Better late than never, I guess. Just like other cc releases, it's got lots of extras. What's the kicker though? It's got the original black and white short shot in 1992.

Adaptation

Description

It's a true story, kind of. Essentially this film explores Charlie Kaufman's head when h was commissioned to write a screenplay for "The Orchid Thief." Given, the guy is completely crazy to it's quite a wild ride.

The Darjeeling Limited

4 people recommended this item

Description

"I want us to be completely open and say yes to everything, even if it's shocking and painful." This is just the type of sharp witted dark comedy you can expect from Wes Andesoon and his newest film. Not to mention, it stars Adrian Brody and the second good movie he's ever been in (the first being The Pianist). It also stars Owen Wilson, pre suicide attempt and, the always amazing, Jason Schwartzman.

The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (The Criterion Collection)

First to recommend

Description

The 4th film by Wes Anderson. I'll be honest, it's certainly not my favorite. However, it might be the most interesting/ ridiculous. Certainly worth checking out and definitely worth owning the criterion collection if you're an Anderson fan.

Harold and Maude

11 people recommended this item

Description

My single favorite movie of all time. For me, it set the groundwork for all of the dark/ quirky comedies we all know and love now. Harold, a dryly depressed nobody falls in love with Maude, a dysfunctional free spirit five times his age. This is their adventure and it's a wild one.

Rushmore: Wes Anderson (The Criterion Collection)

First to recommend

4 people recommended this item

Description

If you haven't seen this film, stop what you're doing immediately, find the closest Best Buy, purchase it, watch it and have your life transformed. I may sound over dramatic, but I really love this movie and I think you will too. The Criterion Collection features beaucoups of extras. So, get excited.

Wet Hot American Summer

Description

Non-sequiter.

If I had to choose one word to describe this film, that would be it. It is the more irreverant, bizarre, hysterically funny film I've ever seen. If you're a Monty Python fan, you will definitely love this. Plus the music was done by Craig Wedren. How can you go wrong?!

Man on Wire

Description

The awe inspiring story of Philippe Petit, a French hire-wire artist, and his journey to tightrope across the twin towers. Petit, the personification of courage and drive, truly makes you believe you can do anything.

What can I say? I loved this movie so much in high school. My sister and I used to always rent it at Wherehouse (remember when those were around?). I wonder what he thought...

Tommy Boy

Description

Absolutely classic. Back in a time when David Spade was still funny. Back when we were still blessed with the comedy of Chris Farley. Back when comedic plots were much more simple and charming. Back in the 90's this movie owned and it still does.
