he uses music, stylized dialogue and a fine way with actors to build characters out of small moments.

Well put.

I never think I'm going to like Anderson's movies, but then I always do. This could be why.

I loved The Royal Tenenbaums instantly. But I didn't like The Life Aquatic at first. But you certainly are correct - I've seen The Life Aquatic about 3 times now... and I like it more every time I watch it.

I'm surprised 'Clayton' isn't getting much play in the comments. I found it a beautiful film and a worthy Oscar contender alongside 'Reign Over Me.' Although, to be fair I saw them both within a week so it could be my jovial mood as much as anything.

Random: Tom Wilkinson's voice-over sounded seriously like Geoffrey Rush. That's who I thought it was for the first two minutes.

I loved The Darjeeling Limited.  Thought this was right up there with The Royal Tenenbaums, Rushmore, and Bottle Rocket.
