The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (DVD, 2005, Widescreen)

This film is quietly hilarious in places, disturbing in others, and just plain odd everywhere else. Enjoyable for its sheer absurdity and its protagonists' cockeyed view of events taking place around them, it's difficult not to find something to enjoy here. Some of the movie's best bits are in its absurd casting choices---Willem Dafoe, playing very much against type here, is a riot without ever really even having a funny line. And Bill Murray proves once again that he's a real actor, not just some former SNL hack riding out a career on his past fame. Not for everyone, but if you love Wes Anderson movies or are a fan of the slightly strange and understated, give this one a try.
