Rushmore

 

Entrée: Pizza cut into square pieces.
Timing: School starts.

Movie:
On paper Max Fischer looks like a future presidential candidate but in reality he follows with thru with none of it & plays by his own rules.  In the end you don't know if Max is a loser or just smarter than the rest of us but that is what makes this movie a great character study.  It was ahead of its time in terms of sense of humor & style yet it is dated with every shot including the 90's granola heroine played by Olivia Williams.  Bill Murray pulls in a smart performance as well but most audiences at the time did not know what to think of him in a role that does not require overacting.
