More Rushmore scenes

I wanted to post a few more clips from the Rushmore, since it is such a terrific film.

The following scenes occur before and after (respectively) the "Dinner scene" in the previous post. 





Scene 1:
The first scene, "Yearbook montage," gives a little more insight into Max's character by introducing all of the various clubs that he participates in at Rushmore. Watch it here.




Scene 2:
The next scene takes place after Max and Mr. Blume have had an argument. Mr. Blume has also been kicked out of his house by his wife and is checking into a hotel. After this, he and Max begin a series of pranks meant to get revenge on the other. The pranks gradually escalate until the very hilarious ending. Watch it here.

Rushmore "Dinner Scene"




Here's a very funny scene from the wonderful 1998 Wes Anderson film, Rushmore. Links for the video clip and accompanying study guide are below. Enjoy!
