Two years after his first feature, Anderson co-wrote (along with Owen Wilson) and directed first film of which he's is best known. This was the 1998 American coming-of-age comedy-drama/ youth novel film 'Rushmore'.
Among his credits during the 2000s, Anderson is known for directing the 2001 American comedy-drama/drama film 'The Royal Tenenbaums' and the 2004 American comedy-drama/adventure film 'The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou'.
