A signpost of an era

Rating: 10/10 (11 September 1998)

I really think you had to have lived the 60's to really appreciate the full meaning and character of this movie. At the time it came out, this movie had a tremendous impact on young people, and looking back it almost embodies that era. Yet seeing it again in the 90's it still has an indefinable quality. I don't know anyone 40's and up who doesn't remember first seeing "The Graduate." Yes, it deserves to be in the top ten.
