The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou 2004
From the the stop-frame animated underwater creatures, to the wonderful deadpan gags, to the Seu Jorge/David Bowie soundtrack, there were plenty of stylistic strokes of genius to enjoy here. But it was Bill Murray, staring out glumly into the abyss with a red cap and Papa Smurf beard, who was at the heart of The Life Aquatic. It was a tour-de-force of Murray's talents – only he could be a juvenile, ignorant, shallow, disenchanted sad-sack and still be a movie's hilarious hero, let alone top your imaginary dinner guest wish-list. On top of all the attention to detail and charm writer/director Wes Anderson poured into the film, it was also a crack up and remains his funniest film yet. -Flicks.co.nz's Top 50 Films of the Decade.
Absolutely love this film...
Wes Anderson films remind me of the joke at the end of Annie Hall, both movies are amazing. Go now, watch!
With Anderson directing and a great cast line-up, whats not to like? And A piss-take on Cousteau is long overdue!
this is an incredibly FUNNY- Bill Murray & Wes Anderson- keep making these quirky great movies!!!!!!!
