Few films have defined a generation as The Graduate did. The alienation, the nonconformity, the intergenerational romance, the blissful Simon and Garfunkel soundtrack--they all served to lob a cultural grenade smack into the middle of 1967 America, ultimately making the film the third most profitable up to that time. Seen from a later perspective, its radical chicness has dimmed a bit, yet it's still a joy to see Dustin Hoffman's bemused Benjamin and Anne Bancroft's deliciously decadent, sardonic Mrs. Robinson. The script by Buck Henry and Calder Willingham is still offbeat and dryly funny, and Mike Nichols, who won an Oscar for his direction, has just the right, light touch. --Anne Hurley Beyond The Graduate

 Oldie, but Goodie. May 26, 2010
Gary Peterson (San Diego, California USA)
I saw "The Graduate" when it first came out in 1967. It was a wonderful movie and one of the first for Mike Nichols and Dustin Hoffman. Plus, it had the wonderful musical contribution of Simon and Garfunkle. Altogether, first rate! Well, I thought of it now and then when I heard the S & G songs on the radio, but that was about it. In any case, my wife and I were shopping at Ross and I spotted it on the DVD bargain shelves. I couldn't resist. My wife had never heard of it, but she was willing to go along with my word that she'd enjoy it. We both watched it last night and enjoyed it immensely. It's an exceptionally well done movie. Very funny. Emotional. A fun (and authentic) look back at the early 60s. We can watch this again and again. It's an oldie, but goodie.

A great addition to my library. Item arrived quickly and in excellent condition. I couldn't be more pleased.
Every Viewing Is A Pleasure May 4, 2010
B. Ying (Shanghai, China)
I attended a first-run screening at the Coronet Theatre in San Francisco. I still remember that the theatre was only half-filled with the audience.
That initial viewing was not particularly impressive although the music of Simon & Garfunkel was already popular at that period. The film was ahead of its time.
Many years went by I watched the film periodically and enjoyed it every time.
I also bought the dvd for my collection.
I bought this Blue Ray version to start my Blue Ray Disc collection.
I haven't view the disc yet since I need to buy a Blue Ray player first.
"The Graduate" is an all time classic.
Great Blu-Ray April 7, 2010
Michael Scott (Florida)
For a nearly 30 year old movie, the transfer is amazing. Pick this up now.
LOVE THIS MOVIE February 11, 2010
Anastasia (SLC)
I love this movie for the hilarious deadpan performance of Dustin Hoffman. It's a crazy story, of course with a great soundtrack, that I love over and over.
