Sorry for the delay fellas. I had sent my picks to Lobo, but guess he wasn’t around.

I can't believe that lasted as long as it did - for a minute I thought it might actually fall to me. Great pick.

Cheers fella.

Surprisingly, it could have if Lobo had made my picks. :D Had a change of heart this morning and had to go with The Tenenbaums.

I'm a huge Wes Anderson fan, and this is my second favourite of his, and my first for a long long time. Hilarious and touching in equal measures. It's Visually, it's probably one of his more subdued movies, but the writing and the performances in this film are just amazing. Gene Hackman steals the show though, he's just amazing as the royal  prick Royal Tenenbaum.

I love all of that, but the biggest thing to me is the influence of the Glass family stories by J.D. Salinger. Those stories are completely unfilmable, but they were clearly a huge influence on Anderson. Between that and everything of his own that he brings to the table, it's just a spectacular film.

Oh, I didn't know about that. Anderson usually gets inspiration from those kinds of uncinematic places, see the French Dispatch, and he's very talented at translating it to the screen. Just read the plot of Franny and Zooey and the similarities are apparent. Will have to give those stories a read.

Updated the selections, if I miss something (especially on the quotas) let me know. It seems like the 00s wasn't a big decade for blockbusters, but the small indie and foreign quotas are getting filled nicely.

I had to think long and hard between Lost and Translation and Royal Tenenbaums, it's a great choice. Maybe a bit controversial but I think it's also the only top notch Wes Anderson film of the decade. Looking back at the selections, have to LOL@Irreversible coming under the Romance category.

There’s not a Wes Anderson movie I haven’t liked. That being said, and without trying to name drop, I think there’s objectively one other movie from this decade that could get that distinction. It was my number one choice in another category but The Tenenbaums was my favourite of the two, so went with that.

Yeah, chuckled at that Irreversible cat. when updating the selections, but to be honest the more the movie progresses (or regresses?) the more romantic it gets.

I know the one you mean - it isn't one of the worst but it always felt to me like one of the 'quirk-first' offenders of that time period. Looks great, sounds great but not much underneath in terms of plot or characterisation.

Same, mate. Memento is the only film of his I absolute love. Though as a comic book fan, I do also enjoy The Dark Knight - mainly for Heath Ledger.

Cheers fella.

Surprisingly, it could have if Lobo had made my picks. :D Had a change of heart this morning and had to go with The Tenenbaums.

I'm a huge Wes Anderson fan, and this is my second favourite of his, and my first for a long long time. Hilarious and touching in equal measures. It's Visually, it's probably one of his more subdued movies, but the writing and the performances in this film are just amazing. Gene Hackman steals the show though, he's just amazing as the royal  prick Royal Tenenbaum.

Damn you, that was my next pick, it's first Wes Anderson film I saw along with Rushmore, my favourite of his. Anderson gets accused of being cold but I never got that and this is probably his most emotional film, this despite Royal being, as you say, a massive prick (that scene at the end with Chas and Royal gets me). Though I think visually it's just as striking as his others, the clothes the characters wear, the house, and just how everything is delicately and deliberately placed. Killer soundtrack as well. By the way what's your favourite Wes Anderson film, presumably it's from this particular decade seeing as you didn't mention it?

Thinking about it, this decade probably has more of my favourite films more than any other - The Royal Tenenbaums, Let The Right One In, Where The Wild Things Are, In The Loop, Children of Men, Battle Royale are easily those I adore the most, not to mention other great films like Paprika, In Bruges, Inglorious Basterds, The Dark Knight and a few others that haven't been picked yet.
