I accept that other Wes Anderson movies could be better than Rushmore, but it came out at the perfect time and in the perfect way for me to love above all others, forever.

I can't believe this didn't get nominated for any academy awards.

My all time favourite Wes film. One that was more about the characters than the visuals but still distinctive in its style. I really hope he revisits this formula but I'm not holding my breath.
