Napoleon Dynamite is one of the best director debut films, period, after maybe Citizen Kane

It’s ok. Reservoir Dogs and El Mariachi would like to have a word with you.
Memento
Bottle Rocket
Boogie Nights
Shit that’s hard eight delete Twetch
Memento wasn't Nolan's debut either 😶
I would argue Following doesn’t count as a debut
But I forgot hard eight because it’s hot garbage
These all top ND surely though!?
Boogie Nights would easily be in the top five if it were PTA's debut. I would argue that ND is a better Wes Anderson film than Bottle Rocket, see:

I would also add Buffalo '66 and Pee-Wee's Big Adventure to that list.
I respect this argument
El Mariachi is definitely up there. RD is great but overshadowed by Pulp Fiction
El Mariachi is overshadowed by Desperado. What’s your point? We’re talking about directorial debuts here.
