Best Wes Anderson Movies List

Author:Kristen Update:Apr 24,2026

Wes Anderson's latest venture into his signature postmodern symmetrical style -- "The Phoenician Scheme" -- has arrived in theaters, featuring an all-star cast including Benicio del Toro, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Michael Cera, Jeffrey Wright, Scarlett Johansson, and many more.

To celebrate the arrival of a new Wes Anderson film, we've ranked his entire filmography, starting from his debut feature, "Bottle Rocket" -- the film that launched the Wilson brothers' careers. Which of his delightfully subversive collections of eccentric characters and '70s rock anthems is your favorite? With so many unique options, each delivers a dose of unapologetically dark whimsy. Imagine if Edward Gorey wore suspenders and a knitted bow tie.

From boats and trains to hotels, stop-motion animation, and high school productions of "Serpico," Wes Anderson has explored it all. Do you prefer his earlier twee storybook classics or his more recent cinematic offerings? See how your personal ranking compares to our list of Wes Anderson's films.*

*Note: "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar," both the standalone short and the collection of four Roald Dahl adaptations it anchors, is not included here as they were released separately on Netflix over four days.
