| Pros |
Very funny without being stupid, with great acting and direction by Wes Anderson. |
| Cons |
Not quite as amazing as ROYAL TENENBAUMS, but both are masterpieces so it's all academic. |
| Bottom Line |
Wes Anderson is one of the great young filmmakers working in the US, and RUSHMORE, his second film, is already a classic. |

Quotes from the Movie
Quotes from the Movie
"When one man, for whatever reason, has the opportunity to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself."--a quote by Jacques-Yves Cousteau that is written in DIVING FOR SUNKEN TREASURE, a book read by Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman) <br> <br> "What's the secret, Max?"--Herman Blume (Bill Murray) <br> "The secret?"--Max <br> "Yeah, you seem to have it pretty figured out."--Mr. Blume <br> "The secret...I don't know. I think you just gotta find something you love to do and then do it for the rest of your life. For me, it's going to Rushmore."--Max <br> <br> "We both have dead people in our families."--Max to Rosemary Cross (Olivia Williams) <br> <br> "Has it ever crossed your mind that you're far too young for me?"--Miss Cross <br> "It crossed my mind that you might consider that a possibility, yeah."--Max <br> <br> "I like your nurse's uniform, guy."--Max to Dr. Flynn (Luke Wilson) <br> "These are O.R. scrubs."--Dr. Flynn <br> "Oh, are they?"--Max <br> <br> "I know about you and the teacher."--Dirk Calloway (Mason Gamble) to Mr. Blume <br> <br> "I saved Latin. What did you ever do?"--Max to Mr. Blume <br> <br> "Rushmore was my life. Now you are!"--Max to Miss Cross <br> <br> "She's my Rushmore, Max."--Mr. Blume to Max <br> "Yeah, I know. She was mine too."--Max <br> <br> "Although I will say that Edward has more spark and character and imagination in one fingernail than Herman Blume has in his entire body."--Miss Cross <br> "One dead fingernail."--Max <br> <br> "Sic Transit Gloria" (Glory fades).--Max to Miss Cross, also in Max's play, HEAVEN AND HELL
