[BanterMan]

This just means we are one step closer to getting every Adam Sandler movie ranked video

[p_ensemble]

I think I speak for a lot of people when I say we would love to see you do this for more directors!

[calihoyer]

Honestly, Wes Anderson & Roald Dahl fit so perfectly together; they've both got such a knack for treating the extraordinary with deadpan "this is totally ordinary what are you talking about" delivery that I've always found just so charming. Kinda wanna see what a Wes Anderson adaptation of Lemony Snicket would look like, since his writing style has a very similar charm to it. They fit in the same category in my head, at least.

[highadmiralbittenfield]

You griped about Mrs. Fox not doing any thing in FMF, but she does! She uses her talent of painting landscapes to plan and coordinate the assault. Also, it makes sense that she would not want to go into the fray because, as we find out at the end, she is pregnant. The central point fo her character is that she puts the well-being of her children first. That is why Fox was supposed to quit thieving in the first place.

[OmarTafur]

Can we all appreciate the fact that this is the very first ranking video where Schaff doesn't rant or loses his mind, and is just happy through and through?

[AtlasBlizzard]

The fact that this man has yet to win an Oscar just says everything you need about the Academy. What an amazing, visionary director. (edit) This has aged poorly, thankfully, but the Academy seriously undervalues this man's work in general.

[DanGamingFan]

I'm glad Schaff is expanding into director filmography rankings, and this was a great way to start. Ever since I first saw _Fantastic Mr. Fox, _ I've absolutely adored Wes Anderson's signature style. The deadpan humor, the bright colors, and intricate camera work are incredible. This man goes all out in everything he does, and every one of his films are enjoyable and inspiring. Mr. Fox is still my favorite, though.

[DriveupLife]

The best part about Wes is that he's only 54. The man has DECADES of filmmaking ahead of him, and they're all practically guaranteed to be bangers.

[andresito]

Hey, about Darjeeling, the movie taking place in India wasn't just a backdrop, it's his way to pay homage to Indian cinema, which strongly influenced his directing style

[Mr_Mimestamp]

I still rewatch the ending of The Grand Budapest Hotel often. Just the way the movie zooms out from the story of the hotel, to the story being told, to that story being written down, to that story being read in the present day, just makes the tragic ending so much more effective, telling you that this was several decades ago, and its legacy is basically gone, and we’re viewing the last scraps of its memory. What an incredible movie.

[hildamarston]

I've watched Fantastic Mr Fox days ago and i've gotta say that this, was an very unique experience.
Everything in this movie is perfect, the voice acting, the humor, the story, the characters, EVERYTHING. And i never stop rewatching this movie.
It's that Fantastic.

[MrGoat-cdlt]

Who agrees that Schaff needs to make SO MANY more of these director rankings videos? Scorsese, Tarantino, Nolan, Fincher, Damien Chazelle, Bong Joon-ho, Denis Villeneuve, etc. He could make so many of these rankings and they would never get old!

[Demonaxis]

I can remember the first time I decided (quite randomly, I might add) to watch The Grand Budapest Hotel, while having no real introduction to We Anderson before (I think technically I'd seen Fantastic Mr. Fox first, but didn't know it was the same director until later) - I was absolutely FLOORED by the visuals. His right-angle sweeps and head-on and symmetrical shots are so unique (if only because you're not strictly supposed to do that) that I was immediately enamored. Also the colors and the story sort of slowly 'filled my cup' as well over the course of the film, and I left the experience in awe that no one had tried to do something similar before (aside from Wes himself, of course). He is definitely one of the most visionary *artists* of film of all time.

[cammoore___]

I feel like you should go through Tim Burton's filmography next. Such a varied director, with a huge number of projects throughout the years.

[typhoonthunder]

Honestly love it when Schaffrillas talks about movies that aren't just animated movies. More of this, please!

[mrmcnugget]

After seeing Schaff rank the Roald Dahl shorts, I would love to see him do an Aardman ranking which includes all of the 30 minute Wallace and Gromit films

[benwasserman]

Wes Anderson is the biggest example of a director whose work can be imitated, but never duplicated. AI videos can seriously attest to that.

[kangurukaiser]

Wes Anderson is one of the better directors in recent history. His unique style, consistent casting, immaculate colouring, interestingly intriguing sets and explainations, and dry humour that can go from whimsicalpy silly to down right cruel and dark

[ChaosTheoryArchitecture]

While studying design in Rome I got to show my work to the costume designer for Grand Budapest hotel. She immediately picked out my love of wes Anderson from my styles and choices, and meeting someone who supports his style so well made my entire year.
