Dallas Buyers Club
I liked Dallas Buyers Club, Grand Budapest was good too, although I was distracted through some of it. I want to see it again without distraction.

This happened to me as well. I was distracted through a good portion of the movie. I talked to a friend who told me the same thing. It was funny in only a way Wes Anderson's movies can be, but I wonder if there was something about it that made me lose enough interest to be "distracted."

@ Steel. That is an interesting theory. Funny I wasn't the only one. I liked Moonrise Kingdom. I love the artful coloring his movies have. I don't remember what else he has done.

I've loved every one of his movies. The Royal Tenenbaums is one of my favorites of all times. Life Aquatic, Moonrise Kingdom and even The Squid and the Whale, which he didn't direct but produced. All excellent. I want to give Grand Budapest it's due, because it is actually the most cirtically acclaimed of them all.

WHAT!?!?!?!? It's the best of them all. Oh boy, you're in for a treat.
The star power alone...
Gene Hackman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Anjelica Huston, Ben Stiller, Danny Glover, Luke and Owen Wilson, and freakin Bill Murray.

Citizenfour. Not exactly a rockem-sockem flick but more important than just about anything else out there.

Let's see:
Rushmore: Check
The Royal Tenenbaums: Check
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou: Check
The Darjeeling Limited: Check
The Fantastic Mr. Fox: Check
Moonrise Kingdom: Check
The Grand Budapest Hotel: Check
Yep! He seems to reuse a lot of the cast. Owen Wilson, Adrian Brody, Jason Schwartzman, Willem Dafoe, etc.
