#10 Wes Anderson movies
White people love Wes Anderson movies more than they love their kids. If a white guy takes a white girl to a Wes Anderson movie on their first date, and neither of them have seen it, they will immediately commence a relationship that is reflected in songs by Ryan Adams and Bright Eyes.
Wes Anderson movies have this way of being sort of funny and a little clever, so white people in the audience will laugh like crazy. Also, if they don’t get the joke and other white people start laughing, they’ll all join in. It’s pretty much the case that if one dude with glasses laughs, the entire theater will be in stitches within 15 seconds.
If you find yourself in a situation with a white person, and an awkard silence falls over you. Mention any of the movies below and you will have something to talk about, and they will like you. Here are some approved comments:
The Darjeeling Limited (2007) “It’s so great to see that he’s back, Owen Wilson is just fantastic.”
Hotel Chevalier (2007) “Can you believe Natalie Portman got kind of naked?”
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004) “I know a lot of people said they didn’t like this film, but I thought it was fantastic.” (Note: it is acceptable to be critical of this movie).
The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) “This movie changed my life.”
Rushmore (1998) “This is when Bill Murray really changed in my eyes, he’s so fantastic in the movie, and Jason Schwartzman is a true star.”
Bottle Rocket (1996) “I saw this movie in 1994″

| Probably, I have the book.
I'll take that in exchange for living in a city where every restaurant has at least one dish where the primary ingredient is bacon, and you can't chuck a rock without it hitting a decent brewery. | |

| I meant nothing by it. SLC is a hipster haven too, and the book nails me on 1/10 items. New Balance, The Wire, Target, etc. I like to laugh at myself.

| Tenenbaums is still my favorite but Moonrise Kingdom may be gaining. It may take a few more viewings to make a determination. | |

| Hate Johnny Depp. He CAN be good...very good, in fact, but for the most part I think he misses the mark. | |

| Pretty much anything he made that isn't Blow, Edward Scissorhands, Donnie Brasco, or Gilbert Grape. Got so tired of the Depp/Burton team up. | |
