Commissions are currently OPEN! See below for more information.
Don't wait for the queue to shrink—the commission docket is rarely empty.:D
I'm thinking of having a screening some time next month when I have the space in my schedule. Because everybody should see Rushmore at some point. I was lucky enough to get to drag my ex to see it at Discovery Green (a giant park where they sometimes show movies on a big screen) when they showed it a couple of years ago. they had a costume contest. My husband is the only one who really gave it his all, and came as Max Fischer. He won the contest and a $100 Ikea gift card. and his picture in costume in the Houston Chronicle. He was the spitting image and it was hilarious.
Yeah, Wes Anderson is weird, but this movie is just... if you asked me to list 100 movies everyone should see before they die, I admit I'd have to see some of the classics before I made the full list, but I guarantee you Rushmore would be on it.
It was filmed in my city (Houston) and the public school "Grover Cleveland" was filmed at Lamar, where half my friends attended (as did the ex we dragged to see the film). X3 That's not the reason to like it, though. It's sweet and hilarious and sad. It's 14 years old now, but all the more reason for me to prompt you to see it now!

Dr. Peter Flynn: These are O.R. scrubs.
Max Fischer: O, R they?
^^^ best lines from a movie ever
Though my favorite scene is with the falling tree
i just saw moonrise kingdom last week, and i love the hell out of it, but it doesn't top rushmore.
i had a really close friend who made a joke a month ago that my husband must love wes anderson movies, and she said it like it was supposed to be a bad thing. and i was like, "well, i didn't know who he was until he introduced me to them, and YES HE DOES, and NOW I DO, so SUCK ON THAT." X3
i just think the film any person ranks as their #1, if they have anything to say about it, says a lot about them. so i wish more people did. i've always enjoyed it when a friend i was just getting to know told me what their favorite movie was, because i think it says more to me about them than they might feel comfortable spilling to me in conversation.
(What's it in company with? Big Trouble in Little China, The Fifth Element, Monty Python's Holy Grail, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, The Nightmare Before Christmas, the Star Wars trilogy, the Lord of the Rings trilogy... a few others I'm forgetting because it's 5 AM :p But yeah. This movie. One of my all-time favorites.)
Both of which are in my list of personal classics. Along with things like Tank Girl and Beetlejuice.
I love this movie!
While I've yet to see a Wes Anderson movie I didn't like this is still probably his best.
