This is without a doubt, one of the greatest movies ever made. The music, by Simon and Garfunkle, made this the greatest music video ever made. This is a classic without peer.

Great film! Dustin's great, Bancroft's great, everybody's great! It's funny when it's supposed to be, dramatic when it's supposed to be, and romantic when it's supposed to be. It has everything it needs to make it a great film, and the running time is perfect with the plot.

Mike Nichols' classic is still worth viewing after all these years. I had always heard of 'The Graduate' and was familiar with the famous "Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me." line, but I'd never viewed the film in its entirety. I was as spellbound by Dustin Hoffman's performance as I was by his youth. The film tells a torrid tale of illicit, taboo romance intertwined with a tale of hopeful true love. I can see why this film was so groundbreaking at the time of its debut, as well as a timeless classic that lives in the heart of American film aficianados.

This movie was unbelievable and I'm disappointed in myself for not seeing it earlier. I loved the cinematography and the way the story unfolded so elegantly. There's also something about the 60's style that is so suaaave. Watch it, and then watch it again. D-Hoff is a master of disaster.

One of the touchstone movies of the 1960's, I think it left most of its impact back there. i was left with one unanswered question: what do women see in Ben Braddock? He's whiny, wimpy, selfish, and incredibly clueless (maybe this was back when naivete was sexy?). There are indeed memorable scenes. (the seduction scene is very good). The extras? Not so much. Some 25th anniversary interviews, and not much else. Movies like this make me appreciate the new directions of the 1970's directors that much more.

Title pretty much sums it up. It's never funny, I never care about any of the characters, and the protagonist is a completely unsympathetic jerk. What the Baby-boomers EVER saw in this movie is a mystery to me. Is it the worst movie ever? Of course not, but it is the most OVERRATED one.

This was terrible. It had no point, no plot, no purpose, nothing to make it worth watching. It's boring, tedious, dull. Don't bother. Go color with your kids, you'll have a lot more fun.
