As the above shoot which turns Ronsons into Tenenbaums illustrates, Wes Anderson's trademark cinematic style is easy to appreciate and even easier to replicate, a fact not lost on Directors starved for inspiration. The recipe is simple enough - equal parts nostalgia, symmetric blocking, over-stylized set design, a dash of Futura font and a potentially perilous flirtation with caricature.

With that in mind we'd like to share our favourite Wes Anderson inspired videos starting with this faux Wes Anderson Film Festival advert made by students Alex Cornell and Phil Mills.

Next up is the Rushmore channeling video for "Oscar Wilde" the debut clip from Chicago three-piece Company of Thieves.
