Bottle Rocket was the defining moment that sparked my interest in the Indie movement. It is the first in the promising career of director Wes Anderson and in my opinion the best.

A Complete Review of Wes Anderson's work (11 movies items)" Cast : Luke Wilson, Owen Wilson What was it about? Focusing on a trio of friends and their elaborate plan to pull off a simple robbery and go on the run. My two cents: Apparently, this movie didn’t get much love when it was released and it was a big box-office flop at the time (apparently, Owen Wilson even considered joining the Marines afterwards, as he thought that he had no future as an actor). Well, I really liked it and, in fact, I believe it is even one of the most enjoyable movie"
