Buzz Lines: What's Your Favorite Quote From Rushmore?

Jason Schwartzman may be all grown up now with a family and his own HBO series, but he'll always be Max Fischer to me, his role in 1998's Rushmore.

Jason Schwartzman may be all grown up now with a family and his own HBO series, but he'll always be Max Fischer to me, his role in 1998's Rushmore. The obnoxious private school student was the first time I'd seen Schwartzman, and the first movie that made me fall in love with director Wes Anderson. I think of it fondly, especially because I quote it all the time, especially "O.R. they?" If you love the movie as much as me, chime in below with your favorite line from the film — I've gotten the ball rolling with a couple other memorable ones below.

  • "O.R. they?" — Max Fischer
  • "She's my Rushmore." — Herman Blume
  • "I wrote a hit play!" — Max Fischer

What's Your Favorite Wes Anderson Movie?

News about another Wes Anderson movie (even if it's not a Wes Anderson original) got me thinking about his ever-growing canon of work.


News about another Wes Anderson movie (even if it's not a Wes Anderson original) got me thinking about his ever-growing canon of work. I'll always be partial to Bottle Rocket because it was my first introduction to the brothers Wilson and I still crack up thinking about it, but I have a deep love for Rushmore, too. And who can deny the brilliance of The Royal Tenenbaums? And even though The Darjeeling Limited mostly flew beneath the radar I liked it well enough. On the other hand, some people aren't turned on at all by his trademark aesthetic and stories about dysfunctional families.
