Tenth grader Max Fischer ( The Darjeeling Limited’s Jason Schwartzman) is Rushmore Academy’s most extracurricular student—and its least scholarly. He faces expulsion, and enters into unlikely friendships with both a lovely first-grade teacher ( The Ghost Writer’s Olivia Williams) and a melancholy self-made millionaire ( Groundhog Day’s Bill Murray, in an award-winning performance). Set to a soundtrack of classic British Invasion tunes, Rushmore defies categorization; it captures the pain and exuberance of adolescence with wit, emotional depth, and cinematic panache. Review: **Blu-Ray Review** An Absolutely Astonishing Upgrade - The Movie: Easily Wes Anderson's best movie, this is Wes Anderson "for the rest of us." It is nowhere near as arch or twee as his later movies. It still has his quirky style and music usage, but the characters are actually relatable and the plot is relatively straightforward. It has a number of noteworthy performances, especially the central three, Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray and Olivia Willliams. I've seen it a good ten times in the last 13 years, and it is a rewarding view each time. The Blu-Ray: This is an EXTREMELY impressive transfer. Criterion did a fresh 2k scan under the supervision of director Wes Anderson, along with a thorough clean-up of dirt and print damage. Detail is superb both in close-ups and wide-angled shots. Facial detail is outstanding, among the best on the format. So is cloth texture - some of the tweedy and hounds-tooth jackets are amazing. Colors are lush and vibrant but free of any bleeding or over-saturation. Black levels are stout and never waver, but still retain perfect detail near black. Grain is stable, light, and omnipresent. There is no edge enhancement, noise reduction, or anything untoward or artificial. This looks as much like the film as a Blu-Ray can, and I say this having seen it three times in the theater. I did some comparisons between the Criterion DVD and the Blu-Ray, and the difference is literally like having Lasik surgery or something - practically every shot is crystal clear, and is competitive with the best high definition video out there today. This is not one of those discs where you won't be able to tell the difference between BD and DVD. It is an absolute slam dunk upgrade. Better still, all of the comprehensive extras and commentary are carried over from the previous disc. So sell it, use it as a coaster, target practice, whatever. There is no need to hang onto it. It has been totally and utterly destroyed in quality by the new Blu-Ray. Review: Max Fisher: A Young Man's Folk Hero! - Rushmore has now become one of my top five movies of all time. Funny, clever and sentimental, Max Fisher's story takes you back to your own struggles growing up, and finding and eventually, embracing one's own identity. Tough to watch Max's heart break after his first real love (aside from his mother) returns unrequited, but I enjoyed watching the character take his rejections in stride and allowed it to mold his inner character in a positive way. Rushmore is a sophisticated comedy, but easily accessible to the masses. A great movie for fathers and sons to view together as well. I should add that I can see teenage boys especially relate to the classmate banter in the movie (as well as the borderline ubiquitous references to "hand jobs", sigh. Cringe-worthy as a parent, but funny as hell when you can set that aside while understanding that teenage boys really do talk to each other in this way). This is by far, one of the funniest movies I've seen, and very much worthy of being part of one's permanent collection. Show it whenever there's a group gathering, or cheer yourself up when you're having a bad day. :) Highly recommended! Many happy (funny) returns! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, Luke Wilson, Olivia Williams, Seymour Cassel, Wes Anderson | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 704 Reviews | | Format | Blu-ray | | Genre | Comedy | | Language | English | | Runtime | 1 hour and 33 minutes | ## Product Details - **Genre:** Comedy - **Format:** Blu-ray - **Contributor:** Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, Luke Wilson, Olivia Williams, Seymour Cassel, Wes Anderson - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 33 minutes ## Images ![Rushmore (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81JUFMzUTsL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Blu-Ray Review** An Absolutely Astonishing Upgrade *by M***N on April 14, 2012* The Movie: Easily Wes Anderson's best movie, this is Wes Anderson "for the rest of us."

Many happy (funny) returns! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Superb *by B***0 on March 3, 2004* I wish there were more movies like this one. It's totally off-the-wall, but has intelligence and a warm heart. At first, I wasn't sure if this movie was going to be my cup of tea: The kid and his friends just reek of weirdness. But, I was hopelessly drawn to them in minutes, and interested in what they were going to do or say. Bill Murray excels in this movie. Forget "Lost in Translation", THIS film contains his best work. He truly shows an emotional scale that ranges from A to Z. The supporting oddball characters are mercilessly intriguing. Just when you think they're coming out of left field (or from another planet), they show their humanity. End result: you end up liking them...a lot. The music is right on target, especially Cat Stevens. The instrumental portions are appropriately playful and memorable. I loved this movie. It's a masterpiece. The packaging is superb, and the DVD contains enough bonus material to make this one fine purchase. Yep, it costs a lot, but the old adage is true: You get what you pay for. ## Frequently Bought Together - Rushmore (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] - The Royal Tenenbaums (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] - The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/3611572-rushmore-the-criterion-collection-blu-ray](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/3611572-rushmore-the-criterion-collection-blu-ray) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-07-11*
