I loved both Rushmore and Election. I think the characters are more quirky in Rushmore, and a lot more dark in Election. The Rushmore characters also have more depth, but I thought both films were funny. As for the DVD, I won a copy from www.qool.com, but they haven't sent it to me yet! Hey, it beats paying for it.
