I don't care much for "The Life Aquatic," and it may not be a "good" performance, but Willem Dafoe's Klaus does steals the show in that film. One of my favorite Anderson characters, though in the grand scheme of things, not one of the best.

I enjoy Ben Stiller in Tenenbaums. He has that mixture of agressivenes and insecure neediness that he sold very well.

The scene that settles it for Murray in Rushmore: when he's on the phone, walking through the schoolyard, and finds the time to rush through a basketball court and block the shot of an 8 year old.

Adrien Brody in Darjeeling Limited. He came across as an odd choice for an Anderson movie at the time but fit in really well and the scene where he tries to save the Indian boy in the water was powerful.
I also loved Edward Norton in Moonrise Kingdom – the earnestness on the level of Owen Wilson in Life Aquatic but without the naivete.
Can't wait to see Grand Budapest Hotel.

BOTH the kids in Moonrise Kingdom. They were the heart and soul of that movie (my favourite Anderson film) and even though the direction was for them to play aloof, they both brought an immense emotionality that anchored the entire story.

One of my favorite moments in all of cinema is the barbershop scene in Rushmore. The whole damn heart of the movie hinges on Bill Murray's face in the moment when he meets Max's father. You almost see the disbelief spill out of his mouth, but he pulls it back. Herman realizes what's going on and he understands Max in an entirely new way. Murray underplays it–it's almost entirely in the eyes–but, for my money, it's the most powerful moment in the film.

Zissou was my favorite film, but I'm a scuba diver and loved Seu Jorge doing Bowie. But to stay on topic, I can't believe nobody has mentioned Anjelica Houston in RT.

The latest Anderson's films might have disappointed me (and maybe it's not him, it's me) but every time I remember the scene Harold finds out Max's dad is a barber and not a surgeon, the beautiful and sweet expression on Murray's face, it's all forgiven and forgotten.

Rushmore, Murray and Schwartzman are pure bliss!!!

Bill Murray is a pile of shit (although i do of course respect his rampaging heterosexuality).

It's the singular moments that get to me in Wes Anderson films. They're so busy with details and often chaotic, and then Ben Stiller says to Gene Hackman, "I've had a rough year, Dad". That one line MADE the whole Royal Tenenbaums something I loved and more than just admired. Adrien Brody was also gifted with a heartbreaking line ("Mine didn't make it" â something like that), and just then, the movie had a little more heart.
