Rushmore (US, 1998)

The charismatic, confident lead Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman) excels at a range of extracurricular activities at Rushmore private school, at the expense of his studies. He strikes a chord with millionaire businessman Hermann Blume (a typically deadpan Bill Murray), and becomes infatuated with the somehow, somewhat, attractive teacher Miss Cross. Despite eventually getting expelled from Rushmore, the school, its setting, characters and asides remain in focus.

It's an interesting, likeable, imaginative, original, quirky-in-a-good-way film.
