Your Favourite Wes Anderson film?

Wes Anderson is an unique director, and I´ll make a recap of all of his films, giving my personal grade of each and every one of them. Pick your favourite:

1) Bottlerocket ***: Not bad for being his first project. I loved the cast and the story, very original and funny. Even though it´s an excellent picture, it´s not his best. But still, a must-see.

2) Rushmore ****1/2: My gosh I loved this movie. Made me laugh from beggining to end. Jason Schwartzman and Bill Murray were just great! Perfect combination of comedy and romance.

3) The Royal Tenenbaums *****: Anderson´s masterpiece. Every character can make a whole film by itself, but Wes decided to combine them into a hilarious disfunctional family. You can almost identify with at least one of them. Absolutely fantastic.

4) The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou ***1/2: Very nice indeed. What´s worth of this film is the excellent use of the music, the great acting, the originality of the story and the tribute to Jacques Custeau. Worth watching.

5) The Darjeeling Limited ****1/2: Simple, but yet breathe taking. The force and the message of this film is quite strong. In my opinion, the runner-up (tied with Rushmore).

Well, now tell me which is your favourite and why.
(P.S.: I´m sorry if my English is not very good, I´m from Mexico)

5-Bottle Rocket(havn't seen it)
4-The Life Aquatic(rented it once when I was tired and it put me to sleep)
3-Rushmore(saw it a long time ago, but I liked it)
2-Royal Tenenbaums(I watched it more then any of the others combined, but when I saw Darjeeling it took the top spot)
1-Darjeeling Limited(the only time I saw this movie was online at watch-movies.net and it wasn't a great version, but was such a good film that it still managed to make it in my top spot.)
