Rushmore is a 1998 comedy-drama film directed by Wes Anderson about an eccentric teenager named Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman in his film debut), his friendship with rich industrialist Herman Blume (Bill Murray), and their mutual love for elementary school teacher Rosemary Cross (Olivia Williams). The film was co-written by Anderson and Owen Wilson. The soundtrack was scored by regular Anderson collaborator Mark Mothersbaugh and features several songs by bands associated with the British Invasion of the 1960s.
The movie helped launch the careers of Anderson and Schwartzman, while establishing a "second career" for Murray as a respected actor of independent cinema. Rushmore also won Best Director and Best Supporting Male awards at the 1999 Independent Spirit Awards while Murray earned a nomination for Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture.
Empire also named Rushmore the 175th greatest film of all time in 2008. Four years after, Slant Magazine ranked the film #22 on its list of the 100 Best Films of the 1990s. According to ShortList, it is one of the 30 coolest films ever.

Two hours sleep again
So that makes six or seven days
Since I could steal a wink of sleep from this cold bed
Stop watching planes, he said
My sanity's securely frayed
This city's slowly giving me nowhere to go
An as antennas bleed into the sky
My mind is set on winter's end
Driving convertibles down highways
That never end
So I'm moving out to South Dakota, yeah
I'm moving out to South Dakota
And I'll see you out in South Dakota, yeah
I'll see you out to South Dakota
Just let me drive away
Instead of chasing all those dreams
And that's the answer to this mess inside my head
Just tolls and heart attacks
But don't break me down and keep me sane
And running doubts into these things
My numbered days
We can't go back, we can't go back
To how things were, to how things were
But if I find a highway long enough
I swear I'll go
I'm moving out to South Dakota, yeah
I'm moving out to South Dakota
So I'll see you out in South Dakota, yeah
I'll see you out to South Dakota
Promise you'll live it well
Cause this could be last time
You get to roll the windows down
(Promise you'll live it well)
Radio turned up as loud as hell
(Cause this could be the last time)
Promise you'll live it well
Cause this could be last time
You get to roll the windows down
(Promise you'll live it well)
Radio turned up as loud as hell
(Cause this could be the last time)
So I'm moving out to South Dakota, yeah
I'm moving out to South Dakota
