I agree that could be a stretch but Rushmore does not only depict a nerd but one that is creative and iconoclast. Many times we have a bond with a movie for personal reasons that are not shared with the rest. I shared my ranking where there are movies which are classical top and others personal takes. That is the reason to create these (non algorithmic/AI) lists: share and help others to move from the average^average.
- detourdog 3y agoNo Bottle Rocket? I think that is the best.
- sanderjd 3y agoIt's certainly the most raw and personal, to its benefit, but it's too unpolished to be as great as the others. I wish he had remade it like a decade ago, after honing his style and technical talents, and with a right-sized budget. I'd still go see it if he did a remake now, but I doubt it would maintain enough of its spark at this point :)
- detourdog 3y agoI’m drawn to rawness. I think the acting performances is what really appeals to me. I don't think a remake could capture those. Royal Tenanbaums is really polished and well done.
- sanderjd 3y agoRight, one of the many great things about Rushmore is that it is a mix of these. It's amazingly polished for someone's second movie. Like, that aspect of it shocks me every time I watch it. But it also still has a lot of that raw soul that Bottle Rocket does.
- detourdog 3y agoI will watch Rushmore tonight.
