I watched The Graduate recently for the first time and thought it was mediocre. Hoffman's performance was not great... he delivers his lines like a monotonous awkward stiff. I expected more from his performance.

I can guess why this movie was so popular in the 60s (I presume because movies kinda stunk back then in general) but I don't think it holds up well. This would not be worthy of being on a list of best rom-coms or best dramatic comedies.

60s cinema was peak along with 70s

I think his performance fits the character but can see why you'd be put off

70s i agree with, 60s i'm not so sure. i personally think movies started to get really good in the 70s.

not to say all 60s movies sucked, but there arent very many i love

are you talking about american or european cinema? in that case I agree that 70s blows the 60s out of the water for american
