	Rushmore 1998 | M | 93 m | USA  When a charming first-grade teacher starts at a prep school, she  captures the heart of ambitious teenager Max, who falls for her instantly. Seeking guidance, Max turns to the father of two classmates for help in winning her affection. Anderson’s wickedly funny second feature provided careerdefining roles for Jason Schwartzman and Bill Murray, who would become his frequent collaborators; and has been selected for preservation by the US National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.
	Moonrise Kingdom 2012 | PG | 94m | USA   True love has never run so deep. In 1965, the tranquil island of New Penzance, off New England, seemed insulated from global troubles. Twelve-yearold lovebirds Sam and Suzy plan to run away together. With a superlative cast including Bruce Willis, Frances McDormand, Edward Norton and Tilda Swinton, this bittersweet tale was included by the BBC in a list of greatest films of the 21st century.
	The Grand Budapest Hotel  2014 | M | 99m | USA  The Grand Budapest Hotel is a famed European resort, managed in the 1930s by the meticulous concierge Gustave H. When one of his lovers dies under mysterious circumstances, Gustave finds himself accused of murder as fascism takes hold. Perhaps the most striking example of Anderson’s distinctive visual style, the film is best appreciated on the big screen. It was nominated for nine Oscars and numerous other awards.
	Fantastic Mr Fox 2009 | PG | 87M | USA After 12 years of peaceful life, Roald Dahl’s Mr Fox betrays a promise to his wife by raiding the farms of their human neighbours. As the farmers drive him and his family underground he must rely on his cleverness to secure their survival. A charming, exquisitely crafted, family friendly stop-motion animation featuring the voice acting talents of George Clooney, Meryl Streep and Willem Dafoe.
