Question is which is your favorite, not which is best.

If I had to say which was best, I'd have to go with Rushmore.

My favorite, though, is Tenenbaums.

Does it seem to anyone else that people either "get" his films or don't?

I liked the Life Aquatic most.  Haven't seen Bottle Rocket, though.

Everyone kept telling me to watch bottle rocket because I would love it....  When I finally did, I didn't think it was that great...  I really wish I would have watched it without any expectations.

Same thing happened with Magnolia.

Holy crap!  I forgot Big Lebowski off my list.

Definitely has its own place on "best stoner movies"

A short review for me:

1.  Big Lebowski
2.  Half Baked>>>c'mon, this was too easy
3.  Garden State
4.  Fast Times @ Ridgemont High
5.  Dazed and Confused

Bad trips
1.  The Shining
2.  The Cube
3.  Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Never saw it, but the cover box always &@#%ed me up.  I worked at blockbuster's for like 5 years, and that movie box always creeped me out as I walked past it.

That movie makes you feel paranoid and high when completely sober.  High, you feel like the walls are closing in.

life aquatic. hands down.
We all know there's been a conspiracy. Only the failures have been recorded.
We all pay too much attention to Icarus, and not enough to his father.

Rushmore is a classic. But Bottle Rocket is awfully good.

life aquatic is by the worst of his movies imo.

Bottle Rocket/Rushmore are great but Tennenbaum's is the opus.

You, in particular, are very wrong.  They're all about the same.

Well, I never actually saw Life Aquatic so I could be wrong here.

Am I the only one who thinks bottle rocket is the best?  Owen trashing the little sister is priceless.  "What has she done with her life thats so great?"

All Fantastic Films. IMHO, your favorite is going to depend heavily on dialogue and the character you prefer.
Funniest Film, to me, Aquatic. My favorite? Tenenbaums.

Subquestion. Murray was the best in which film?

I love dry humor but Guy Ritchie is as dry as I go.  Aquatic was pretty good but I got bored through it.  Tennenbaums was funny but I got bored during that as well.  I loved Bill Murray in Aquatic though.

Since I'm an ass who answers objective questions with a yes or no, you're correct.
