12 Best Wes Anderson Movies: Ranked From Worst To Best

You know it is a Wes Anderson Movie if it makes you feel like you just ate a pot brownie and feel like you woke up in a greeting card. He is one of the most phenomenal directors in the Hollywood industry, and he has given us some of the most beautiful movies of all time. No wonder he’s loved by all. His peculiar style gets causes him to be recognised as the “modern-day auteur.”

The vividness in the hues and the idiosyncratic behaviours of characters, typically resonate the Anderson vibe. With an eye for meticulous details and visual aesthetics, Wes Anderson movies are an absolute treat for your mind, body and soul. His films give us the feeling of nostalgia even if we have never been in that situation. His movies are capable of taking us down the memory lane, and situations we wish we had.

Having written and directed films, at the same time gives him the most power over the movie as he everything is under his control. To enjoy a Wes Anderson movie, there are twelve features that you need to look into while deconstructing his films—

A micro-world with a focus on the Art Direction

12 Best Wes Anderson Movies: Ranked From Worst To Best
Shot Within Shot

His films make us feel like we’ve entered a human dollhouse. The set and the production design is so overabundantly detailed gives the impression that it belongs to a peculiar number of characters and adventures that we do not see on camera.

The production design and costumes in the film help in developing the characters and stories.

Children and Adults acting like each other

12 Best Wes Anderson Movies: Ranked From Worst To Best
Children

Charles Schulz has a significant influence on Wes, and most people have noticed the Charlie-Brown like nature of the child characters in his movies. Children in his films think and talk like well-educated adults. The adults never talk down to children and mostly treat them as emotionally superior beings or as equals. Children go on to teach adults how to stay a child at heart and have irresponsible fun in life.

Characters becoming unglued

12 Best Wes Anderson Movies: Ranked From Worst To Best
Unplugged Characters

Wes Anderson proved that falling apart needn’t necessarily be serious; it could also be funny. The memorable characters are hyper achieving, fully formed consciousness and secure about themselves reveal themselves to be slightly deteriorating and deeply damaged by anxiety, social expectations and dysfunctional families.

 Escapism

12 Best Wes Anderson Movies: Ranked From Worst To Best
Shooting Location

It invites us to escape along with the characters to some fantastical locations, thanks to the picturesque real shooting locations in the Italian Riviera and Naples. It invites us to disappear into the carefully curated tableaus and quirky characters. We also encounter dark issues and tender humanity.

The Peculiarity In Speech

12 Best Wes Anderson Movies: Ranked From Worst To Best
Dialogues

A dry, deadpan delivery of dialogues brings out the particular brand of humour in Anderson’s films. The actors deliver their lines with a serious face even though what they’re saying has the potential to make us exhale harder. This combination leads to delivering sincerity and absurdity.

The Recurring cast

12 Wes Anderson Movies: Ranked From Worst To Best
Recurring Cast

We see a lot of his film with the same cast. For instance, Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, Owen Wilson, Luke Wilson, Anjelica Huston, Willem Defoe, Wally Wolodarsky, Jeff Goldblum, Waris Ahluwalia, Edward Norton, Tilda Swinton and more.

The Color Palette

12 Best Wes Anderson Movies: Ranked From Worst To Best
Colour Palette

This is one of the best features of his films, and you will see the colours of the shade off of the most obvious rendering. So, for example in the movie ‘The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou’ you will find the colour of the submarine not to be yellow, but mustard, in ‘Rushmore’ you will find the use of the hue Navy instead of blue.

These colours contribute to the giving you the feeling of seeing something that’s right out of a pastel storybook illustration. Most of his films have an overall chromatic appeal, and it is followed throughout the film. Say, the earthy yellows and browns in ‘Fantastic Mr Fox.’

Trademark shot

12 Wes Anderson Movies: Ranked From Worst To Best

Some of the best Wes Anderson movies use a lot of wide-angle shots with a blend of symmetrical centre framed shots. Wes Anderson also incorporates shots that contain rectilinear lines (straight lines) that create movement and direct the eye into a particular direction, thereby giving more perspective and symmetry in that specific shot.

Slowmotion

12 Best Wes Anderson Movies: Ranked From Worst To Best
Slow Motion

He uses this style in most of his films to portray emphasis on the symbolically loaded moments. For instance, the Whitman brothers making hopping onto the train in slow motion, letting go of all their metaphorical excess baggage as they go back home. The slow-motion shot is a celebration of their triumph of renewed closeness and their revelations about themselves.

The 60’s and 70’s music

12 Wes Anderson Movies: Ranked From Worst To Best
Soundtrack

There is popular music from the ’60s and ’70s in his films, and it has made the songs mainstream through his movies. They’re mostly deep cut tracks from that era and adds to the mood of the characters that they’re feeling.

Performa- Ception

12 Best Wes Anderson Movies: Ranked From Worst To Best
Performa-ception

Just like the way a dream within a dream has a psychological effect on us, there is usually a performance within a performance in his films. It is a way of conveying information about the movie we’re watching, be it bringing attention to specific details, foreshadowing or even characterisation.

Here are 12 best Wes Anderson movies ranked from the worst to the best. Although every film of his is unique, it is nearly impossible to categorise any of his movies to be the “worst” ever.
