'When We Were Kings' - it's really good.
I saw it before I moved to Louisville, so I didn't know very much about Ali at the time

Yes that's the one!

(p.s. - tundra, I rented the new Criterion Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou last night, except they only had disc one.  There is a disc two with a TONNE of stuff.  It's you who loves Wes Anderson, too, right?)

Yes, & I just got an email from Netflix, saying Life Aquatic is on its way.  I hope it's 2 discs!

I used to be a film critic for some smaller publications and I never understood what all the excitement over Wes Anderson was.  Having said that, I don't think there was a movie last year that was funnier than Life Aquatic.  Both my buddy and I had tears in our eyes we were laughing so hard.  Of course my wife was there too, also crying that she had to stay till the end...

I think Royal Tenenbaum is one of the funniest and saddest films I've ever seen.  Brilliant.  Bottle Rocket I've only seen once - it's okay.  Rushmore is really good.  But Royal Tenenbaums is brilliant.

Rushmore is my favourite.  But I love them all, separately and for different reasons.  Bottle Rocket is hellaciousc's favourite, and - hey Corey, what's your favourite?  I don't even know.

Anyhow.  Pure love.  :)

I agree with hellaciousc,I love bottle Rocket with the Wilson boys and James Caan is so funny.Second favorite is Rushmore which is so sublime with the brilliant Bill Murray.
