No Bottle Rocket? I think that is the best.

  It'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 :)

    I’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.

      Right, 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.

        I will watch Rushmore tonight.
