Cheers fella.
Surprisingly, it could have if Lobo had made my picks. 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.
