The Royal Tenenbaums
This movie was bizarre, in a pretty good way. The only other Anderson film I've seen is Moonrise Kingdom, and I think I may have preferred this one, although I really need to rewatch Moonrise. Just like Moonrise, this movie certainly wasn't hilarious, but it did have quite a few laughs in it, mostly at how quirky the whole thing was. The cast is great, and they did good jobs, even though most of them didn't really get a chance to shine, especially Bill Murray. He was criminally underused. There were some really great shots in this, as usual in Anderson's films. At times it was almost distracting, and I think it may have taken away from the comedy and the story, but it made up for it with how many times it enhanced it. The humor was about as dry as it comes, but it was amazing how many times it worked, even if it wasn't as many times as I was hoping. It may have gotten a little dull at times, but there was always some impressive camera-work to look at, so I was always entertained.
