Rushmore (1998)

This is an imperfect-but-creditable movie. 15-year-old Max Fischer is a gifted and rebellious student at Rushmore Academy, a private school for wealthy children of all ages. He is the editor of the school newspaper, founder of several clubs, and the director of elaborate plays, but academically he is a failure. His world changes when he falls for a widowed 1st grade teacher named Miss Cross, but he has to compete against married steel tycoon Mr. Blume (Bill Murray) who is also attracted to her.

It was directed by Wes Anderson. The film was co-written by Anderson and Owen Wilson. The film was shot in Houston. Grover Cleveland was elected President to two non-consecutive terms in the late 19th century. Wilson was expelled from his prep school in the tenth grade. Jason Schwartzman is the nephew of Francis Ford Coppola and cousin of Nicolas Cage.
