BOTTLE ROCKET (1996)
Plot
"Upon his release from a mental hospital following a nervous breakdown, the directionless Anthony joins his friend Dignan, who seems far less sane than the former. Dignan has hatched a hare-brained scheme for an as-yet-unspecified crime spree that somehow involves his former boss, the (supposedly) legendary Mr. Henry. With the help of their pathetic neighbor and pal Bob, Anthony and Dignan pull a job and hit the road, where Anthony finds love with motel maid Inez. When our boys finally hook up with Mr. Henry, the ensuing escapade turns out to be far from what anyone expected." -IMDB

RUSHMORE (1998)
Plot
"Max Fischer is a precocious 15-year-old whose reason for living is his attendance at Rushmore, a private school where he's not doing well in any of his classes, but where he's the king of extracurricular activities-from being in the beekeeping society to writing and producing plays, there's very little after school he doesn't do. His life begins to change, however, when he finds out he's on academic probation, and when he stumbles into love with Miss Cross, a pretty teacher of the elementary school at Rushmore. Added to the mix is his friendship with Herman Blume, wealthy industrialist and father to boys who attend the school, and who also finds himself attracted to Miss Cross. Max's fate becomes inextricably tied to this odd love trianlge, and how he sets about resolving it is the story in the film." -IMDB

BONUS: THE SHORT FILMS
The short film that made me fall in love with short films was none other than Wes Anderson's Hotel Chevalier starring Natalie Portman and Jason Schwartzman. It ties into Schwartzman's character in The Darjeeling Limited, so if you haven't seen it, treat yourself by clicking the title link below and enjoy the others as well!
