Definitive Ranking of Wes Anderson movies: UPDATED

People of the Internet: Isle of Dogs is a movie that is stunning to look at, but without much soul (for a movie about dogs!) Also, the American exchange student storyline needs to be cut. 50% better movie without the Greta Gerwig Character. UPDATE: I just saw the French Dispatch. I enjoyed it. Anderson's use of meticulous detail in every frame means there's always something interesting going on, even if the thread connecting the pieces of this anthology film is unclear. I think by deeply diving into small, intensely crafted vignettes Anderson aims to illuminate something larger about humanity; restating the argument for his overarching methodology since Rushmore. He may not always be successful, but his films are usually entertaining, and never boring.  Here is the definitive list of Wes Anderson movies from best to worst:

1. The Royal Tenenbaums
2. Rushmore
3. Asteroid City
4. Grand Budapest Hotel
5. Fantastic Mister Fox
6. Bottle Rocket
7. The French Dispatch

7.5 (american express commercials)
8. Life Aquatic
9. Moonrise Kingdom
10. Isle of Dogs
11. Darjeeling Limited
