The Royal Tenenbaums/YMMV

Crowning Music of Awesome: The beautiful use of Elliott Smith's "Needle In The Hay," and Paul Simon's "Me & Julio Down By The Schoolyard" is, in the scene where Royal takes Ari and Uzi to see the city.
- Plus, the orchestral cover of "Hey Jude" during the first chapter of the film.
- Nico's These Days when Margot steps off the bus is used oh so brilliantly. Just, damn.
Crowning Moment of Funny : "Wildcat... wild... cat... pow..."
- "Oh, Eli just crashed his car into the building..."
Harsher in Hindsight: There's two of these moments in the scene where Ritchie Tenenbaum attempts suicide by slitting his wrists with a razorblade. The character of Ritchie is played by Luke Wilson, whose brother Owen (who not only plays Eli Cash in the movie, but also co-wrote the film) attempted to kill himself in late 2007 in a similar manner. Furthermore, this scene is soundtracked by "Needle in the Hay", a 1995 song by alternative folk musician Elliott Smith. Two years after the film was released, Smith succeeded in killing himself (although with a knife, not with a razor blade).
- The next song on the soundtrack is "Fly" by Nick Drake. Granted, the filmmakers knew Drake had taken his own life...but coming right after Elliott Smith (who they hadn't known about), it adds to the creepiness. Word of God says "Fly" was chosen more-or-less randomly, as it happened to be playing in Wes Anderson's Walkman (when he was working on the scene, or first viewing the rushes...something like that).
Scenery Porn: Every set is adorable and quirky.
- How about the closet crammed several feet high--on all sides--with '70s board games: where Chas threatens Royal? Yet Another Example of the Wes Anderson retro-collage school of art direction, yeah...still, it's kinda cool.
Tear Jerker: Royal's death, of course. And, the dog's death is also quite sad.
